The federal charities regulator said the temples had donated tens of thousands of dollars to the Tamils Rehabilitation Organization (TRO), which it called “part of the support network” of the LTTE.

The Government is demanding the release of a vital UN report on the war, mentioned in the UN Secretary General's Panel of Experts (PoE) report on accountability issues in Sri Lanka, as the number of deaths due to war contained in the document runs counter to claim that over 40,000 people perished in the final stages of the war from January to May 2009, reports The Island. The vital UN report had placed the number of people killed due to fighting between August 2008 and May 13, 2009 at 7,721 including the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) combatants. The UN estimated the number of wounded persons at 18,479. The UNSG's panel has made specific reference to what it calls the United Nations Country Team, which carried out the survey in the Wanni region during the war, but it has stopped short of revealing the contents thereof in detail. Though, the UN has made available all findings of its Country Team to the PoE; it has not made it public.

According to a Colombo Page report, Swiss prosecutors have planned to interview the head of finance of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) who is imprisoned in Netherland. They have also planned to question some 25 senior ranks LTTE members; some of whom are currently imprisoned in Sri Lanka. They are investigating into suspected money laundering by 12 members of the Swiss LTTE to the Netherlands and Sri Lanka. The prosecutor office suspects that the Tamils used fake pay slips of Sri Lankans resident in Switzerland to obtain loans of $73,000 - $104,000. Once obtained, the cash was couriered to Sri Lanka where it was laundered locally and eventually used to finance the purchase of weapons during the civil war, the prosecutor believes. The investigations in Sri Lanka come after the Swiss Prosecutor’s Office made an official request to Sri Lankan authorities in 2011, which was granted. The mame of the LTTE members and date of arrest is unknown.

According to the 2012 Global Peace Index (GPI) released on June 12, Sri Lanka has achieved great improvement in the GPI. Sri Lanka's GPI score experienced the largest year-on-year improvement of the 158 nations surveyed and it climbed 27 places to 103rd position overall and 17th in the Asia Pacific region ahead of India (142) and Pakistan (149), reports Colombo Page. The GPI indicator of the number of deaths from organised (internal) conflict fell sharply in response to the fact that there were no casualties in 2010, compared with 15,565 in 2009. There were related declines in the homicide rate, the frequency of terrorist acts and the Political Terror Scale. The level of internal conflict nevertheless remains "moderate", reflecting signs of intermittent violence and reports of continued abductions and disappearances. Military expenditure has declined in 2011 as a proportion of GDP amid pressures to cut the country's deficit but the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) predicts a possible rise in defence spending in 2012, justified by security officials to repay loans on military hardware acquired to fight the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

According to Secretary to the President Lalith Weeratunga, President Mahinda Rajapaksa ran the risk of being physically attacked by the UK-based Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) activists during his recent visit to London, UK, reports The Island. “In spite of tight security provided to President Rajapaksa, two suspicious-looking strangers, believed to be members of protesting LTTE groups, had been sighted in the hotel, where the President and his entourage were staying.” Weeratunga said. The extraordinary security provided to President Rajapaksa was indicative of the British Government’s concern over threats the LTTE groups in London posed to the Sri Lankan leader, claimed Weeratunga. 3,000 Diaspora protesters and surrounded the Marlborough House as the Leader drove pass. However, except the LTTE activists, all others suspended their protests in compliance with a request by the British Police.

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) on June 14 blamed the translator, who has translated the constitution of the alliance's main constituent, Ilankai Tamil Arasu Katchi (ITAK) that had called for a separate state for the Tamil people in Sri Lanka, reports Colombo Page. The TNA leaders told that a certified translator has made a "deliberate false translation" of the ITAK constitution, which was in Tamil, to English and the translated sworn affidavit filed in the Supreme Court has portrayed the ITAK as a party that stood for secession of the Tamil parts from Sri Lanka. They clarified that ITAK did not stand for a separate Tamil and a separate Muslim State in Sri Lanka.
