The Hon. Sivagnanam Shritharan
Sivagnanam Shritharan raised concern over reports that a woman from Kilinochchi had allegedly died by suicide while in custody at the Maradana Police Station, asserting that she was killed. He questioned how such a death could occur inside a police station and requested the Minister of Public Security to ensure immediate justice.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to bring to the attention of the Hon. Minister of Public Security a grave matter. Reports state that a woman from Kilinochchi allegedly committed suicide at the Maradana Police Station yesterday. She did not commit suicide; she was killed. How could a detainee commit suicide inside a police station? This is horrendous. I request the Hon. Minister to ensure immediate justice.
