Tamil National Alliance (TNA) on May 2 called for a special arrangement to ensure that Tamil speaking people would retain the same number of seats regardless of drastic drop in the number of electors over the years due to them fleeing the country or moving to Districts outside the Northern Province, reports The Island. TNA Member of Parliament (MP) M.A. Sumanthiran said that their support for the proposed 20 Amendment to the Constitution would entirely depend on guarantee that the existing 160 electorates would remain intact. The MP insisted that the electoral reforms couldn’t be finalized at the expense of Tamil speaking people. The MP insisted that the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP)’s push for an agreement on electoral reforms wasn’t realistic therefore those spearheading talks on the 20 Amendment should be mindful of their concerns.

A leading election monitor in Sri Lanka, Campaign for Free and Fair elections (CaFFE) on August 26 urged the Sri Lankan Government to abolish the draconian Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), reports Colombo Page. The election watchdog emphasizing the need to abolish the PTA, which is "one of the most draconian legislations" in Sri Lanka, said revoking the PTA is the first step to create a civilized country. CaFFE Executive Director, Rajith Keerthi Tennakoon said that the PTA does not tally with the aspirations of a civilized nation. Tennakoon added that the PTA was used not only against terrorist suspects but also to suppress a significant number of political activists, human rights activists, student, and trade union activists. He noted that one of the main reasons that Sri Lanka was plagued with allegations of human rights abuses was the cruel treatment of those detained under PTA laws. Those detained were held ignoring judicial procedures and in many occasions detainees were not given access to legal aid, he said. The PTA was also used by Security Forces (SFs), paramilitary groups and Police to circumvent civilian law.
