Sri Lanka Army (SLA) said that it has gradually returned a large extent of land to the original owners after reducing the size of Army camps in Jaffna of Northern Province, reports Colombo Page on July 24. Military Spokesman and Ministry of Defence, Media Center Director Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasooriya said the land occupied by the Army now has been reduced to 6,500 acres from the original 26,000 acres.

However, he said it is necessary for the military to continue to maintain army camps in certain selected areas in the Jaffna Peninsula for national security as security is a matter that cannot be neglected.

With "security concerns" keeping Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa away from attending last week’s opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, the planned pro-LTTE demonstration opposite the Celtic stadium lost its steam, reports The Island on July 26. Sources said that "The number of activists expected to turn up for the demonstration dwindled as news spread that the President would not be coming for the event.” The protesters openly waved Eelam flags, shouted anti-Sri Lanka slogans and were attired in T-shirts sporting Velupillai Prabakaran’s photograph despite the LTTE listed as a proscribed terrorist outfit in the United Kingdom (UK), the sources said. Some of the placards the protesters displayed carried slogans such as "Not just war crimes, its planned genocide", "Our Nation, Tamil Eelam", "Sri Lanka is a shame to the Commonwealth", "Suspend Sri Lanka from the Commonwealth", "Sri Lanka must end occupation of Tamil Eelam", "We want independent, international investigation". While the pro-LTTE lobby claimed that Rajapaksa did not attend the ceremony because of their planned demonstration, External Affairs Minister G. L. Peiris said that the President decided to keep away due to "security concerns".
