[April 29, 2005 - 9.00 GMT] The Government unreservedly condemns the reprehensible and dastardly abduction and killing of well known journalist, Mr. D Sivaram. Mr. Sivaram's abduction and killing is the latest in a series of violent acts and political killings that have taken place while the Ceasefire Agreement has been operational. Most recently a Tamil Police Inspector, Mr. T Jeyaratnam, attached to the Terrorist Investigations Unit of the Mt. Lavinia Police was abducted in Colombo. Prior to that a Divisional Secretary was killed in the Eastern Province and a Tamil Government official, a Director attached to the Ministry of Vocational Training was gunned down while in Batticaloa on official duty. The
Government has ordered a full scale investigation into the abduction and
killing of Mr. Sivaram and law enforcement authorities will ensure speedy
action in this regard.
