Campaign Free Jeyakumary to hold vigil

Campaign Free Jeyakumary to hold vigil

The Campaign Free Jeyakumary calls on all to join it to reunite Jeyakumary with her daughter, and to call on the president and the government to bring about justice to her and all others held in detention without charges.

The Campaign will hold a vigil when Jeyakumary is brought before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court tomorrow.

In a statement, Campaign Free Jeyakumary says,

To date, Jeyakumary has been held without charges for more than 350 days. The 13th of March, 2015, will mark her one year in detention without charges. Her daughter, Vibushika, currently being kept at a Children's Home in the North, made a desperate and heart-wrenching plea to President Sirisena last month, calling on him to release her mother who is innocent and has committed no crime.

As Jeyakumary is being brought before the Colombo Magistrate Court on March 6th (Friday), we would like to show our solidarity with her, and call on the President and Government of Sri Lanka to release Jeyakumary and all other political prisoners held without charges, some have been held in detention for as long as 10+ years.

Please do come out in your numbers and join us to reunite Jeyakumary with her daughter, and call on the Government to bring about justice to her and all others held in detention without charges, on March 6th (this Friday), at 9am, outside the Colombo Magistrate Court, Col-02.

We hope the media personnel will support our campaign by joining us, and giving this grave issue the coverage it deserves.
