SEPTEMBER 30, 2014
 
A demonstration was held by Colombo’s Fort Railway Station on the 19th of September to highlight the fact that it had been 200 days since Jeyakumari was detained and to call for her release:

It received coverage in the Hindu, Lanka Focus, and in Vikalpa (and again). Appallingly no mainstream Sri Lankan media covered the event.
 
Several senior members of opposition political parties and civil society were in attendance, including:
 
Gajen Ponnambalam – President, Tamil National People’s Front (TNPF)
Siritunga Jayasuriya – General Secretary, United Socialist Party (CWI in Sri Lanka)
M.A. Sumanthiran – MP, Tamil National Alliance (TNA)
Mano Ganesan – Leader, Democratic Peoples Front (Political Party)
Azath Salley – Leader, National Unity Front (NUF)
Members of civil society
Trade Unions
Members of the clergy
Civic conscious members of the general public
members of the media
 
There was also a small counter demonstration by pro government supporters. They engaged in an angry confrontation with the demonstrators, held up offensive cartoons targeting senior members of Sri Lankan civil society, and distributed a leaflet containing misinformation about Jeyakumary:
