Search Warrant for Interpol Against KP?
As reported on Daily Mirror on December 3ed 2011,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-A court in Chennai has issued a search warrant to Interpol against LTTEƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Chief arms procurer Kumar Pathmanathan, alias KP in connection with offences such as crimes involving the use of weapons, explosives, criminal conspiracy and terrorism, a document tabled in parliament revelsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚. UNP MP, Jayalath Jayawardana tabled a copy of this search warrant in the parliament on Thursday the December 1st during the BUDGET DEBATE. Following is the act that Jalath Jayawardana carried out in Chennai that can be prosecuted for TREASON.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Jayalath Jayawardana Can Be Charged With High Treason For Aiding and Abetting A Foreign CountryƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Court of Law To Negate The Prerogative of The Sri Lanka Parliament and Her Constitution.
Rajapaksa administration must carefully study this action and take remedial action without delay, because this could snow ball in to a much bigger issue. One need not be a genius to predict what Jalath JayawardanaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s next move; he is going to table in the parliament, the Bruce Finn summons issued to arrest President Mahinda Rajapaksa. I cannot understand why the speaker allowed this motion by Jayalath jayawaradana to be tabled because he fully well understood that the arrest warrant was issued by a foreign countryƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s law courts that Sri Lanka does not recognize as a valid law court that can be recognized within the legal system of the sovereign state of Sri Lanka. What I envisage is that the speaker did not want to disrupt the BUDGET PRESENTATION by the president, which has already been disrupted by Ranil Wickramasinghe.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Precedence Jayalath Jayawardana Created is Far Reaching and Could Snow Ball in to Uncharted WatersƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
- Navi Pillai after her ridicule at the UN session is waiting to get even with Rajapaksa Administration. She could go to the Secretary General of UN and state that Sri Lanka government is holding a war criminal and he is now carrying out rehabilitation activities on behalf of the Sri Lanka government, in the Northern and Eastern provinces.
- There are many anti Sinhala movements that are cropping up on a daily basis. Freedom From Torture (FFT) is an UK based organization that attempts to stop the Tamil Terrorists that entered UK illegally been deported back to Sri Lanka. This organization has unlimited funds that were originally collected as a NGO. They had a meeting recently which was attended by elected members of UK parliament and the director of CH4, Cullum McCrea. It will be a field day for similar organizations to discredit RajapaksaAdministration and get world attention if Jalath JayawardanaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s action is not checked out, at least a reprimand from the Speaker.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ I quote from Daily Mirror ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Jayalath Jayawardana said that he informed the Deputy General Inspector of Police in Chennai about the presence of KP hereƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-However, Jayalath Jayawardana did not say when this arrest warrant was issued to InterpolƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚. Here, Jayalath Jayawardana went over the heads of Indian Government. Indian government does not want to antagonize the defense secretary Gotabaya, by issuing Interpol warrants, so Tamil Nadu Tamils found a way to bypass the authority. For this action, Jayalath Jayawardana would have received at least two million dollars to plan and carry out this action. I state this because; it is a major breakthrough for Tamil Sanghams around the world. Contacting the Deputy Inspector General in Chennai is the Treasonable act. Here, after taking the oath of legions to the Sri Lanka constitution, to the parliament and to the country, goes to a state of a country that is an adversary to the Rajapakse Administration gives damaging information about Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s security.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ I quote again from Daily Mirror ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-In the search warrant, KP has been mentioned as Tharmalingam Shanmugam Kumaran. His place of birth, as mentioned in the arrest warrant, is Kankasanthurai, Jaffna. He has been identified as a person with the ability to speak English, French, Sinhala, and Tamil. Hair combed sideways is noted as a distinguishing mark.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ KP was arrested by the Sri Lankan authorities in August 2009, in Malaysia and brought to Sri Lanka. Since then, he has been in the custody of the government. Also, he has now formed an organization called North-East Rehabilitation and Development Organization (NERDO). Kelum Bandara and Yohan PereraƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Jayalath Jayawardana created a path to bypass the Indian Government, so that any Tamil Nadu Tamil can apply to a court in Chennai to issue an arrest warrant for any one in Sri Lanka and submit it to Interpol. A good example is Vikko; he will do the same to PresidentMahindaRajapkse. During the Tamil Nadu elections Vikko said that he will send an assassination squad to finish MahindaRajapkse. He will not stop here, next will be Douglas Devanada.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Most intriguing thing is that Jalath JayawardanaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s son was wanted by the police for assault and deadly body harm. Jayalath jayawardana bribed the police to delay, serving the arrest warrant and then, shipped his son out of the country. No one knows where he is now. This happed about five years ago and I have not seen any news about this case.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ I hope LalithWeerathunga will read this and take some action.

KP should have been tried in a Court of Law in Sri Lanka as a Terrorist and put behind bars for life. After all this man was responsible for all the attacks that were directed against the citizens of our country. All the citizens of Sri Lanka have a right to demand that kind of jusstice from the Government. But today where is he? In high company, I presume. Do not forget the fact that he still remains an arrested person in the custody of the Govt. of Sri Lanka.
This is why I alway say “We never learn”. So now let us see the drama that is going to unfold. We will need another Legal Company who will collect millions of dollars to face this episode. This will even go to International Courts, charging the Sri Lanka Govt. of holding on to a wanted man on whom an Interpol Arrest Warrent has been issued.
I agree with Kithsiri that this is not a matter that should be viewed lightly. As stated above, why Dr Jayalath was allowed to table this arrest warrent in Sri Lanka Parliament? Where were the ruling party members of the Parliament? Why they did not demand a “Point of Order” on this ?
Where are we heading to?

We can cookm the goose by putting KP behind bars. That is the MOST foolish thing to do.
Now he is kept under arrest but provided with all luxuries by the government for a good reason.
We need him for the following.
1. Disrupt LTTE logistics operations. Contrary to what some FOOLS think, LTTE logistics operations continue. Read the news about how 5 LTTE arms purchasing agents were arrested in Bangalore yesterday (The Hindu). KP has in depth knowledge of this. No one knows better about this than KP>
2. We can use KP’s contacts to spy on LTTE weapons smuggling abroad. It cannot be stopped due to complex legal issues. So the best we can do is to keep a close watch.
3. KP’s helps was VITAL in dirupting the Transexual Government of Tamil Elam (TGTE). Some elected TGTE “leaders” were KP supporters. They totally brought down the TGTE. Now there is no functioning TGTE!
4. KP holds the key to billions of LTTE money. These can be put to good use than simply let go.
5. KP is a test case of understanding how a terrorist organisation would procure weapons. That makes him very valuable. Throwing him behind bars will bust all that.
6. Today KP has joined the good work of the government. There is no need to disrupt that as long as he is of USE.
7. The traitor-patriot classification TOTALLY changed after the war. Some traitors became patriots and some patriots became traitors. We have to live with modern realities.
e.g. The great patriot Fonseka became a traitor and joined TNA at the election! Blamed GR of ordering to kill terrorists just like Tamil terrorists abroad.
e.g. JVP that supported the war fell out over petty position issues and was swept to the cess pit of traitors.
e.g. Karuna, George master, Daya Master, Pillayan, KP, Soosai’s wife UNDERSTOOD, accepted and regreted their crimes and joined the government to REDUCE the impact of their crimes.
Same goes for Douglas Devanada and many former LTTE operatives who joined the SL secret services.
If KP goes to jail, those disgusting Tamil terrorists calling themselves TNA should ALL be in jail FIRST. They violated the PTA, sixth amendment.
Thereafter we can see what to do with KP.
Jayalath J is a known LTTE member. He always did LTTE dirty work. No surpise.
Tamil Nadu has no power to do anything about it. As Fonseka RIGHTLY said, they are clowns.

Cullum McCrea is not a ch4 director, he is free lance producer for hire and this guy started as a garbage collector (true) and now clean terrorists garbage.
Cullum’s credibility is now question by people in the industry and how much funding this guy got from ltte sympathisers.. We haven’t given up on this and still so much going on in this area so that real truth will come out re. these terror for hire tv producers.
I have given so much info to BBC and when BBC interview him re. my data he said ” he has no answers”.
re. Jayalath Jayawardana, I fail to see why this guy is still breathing…
December 12th, 2011 at 1:50 am
I too fail to see how this worthless dirt called Jayalath Jayawardana is still living. Surely he doesn’t deserve to.
December 12th, 2011 at 2:50 am
Great to see you’re still fighting the lies and deciet from Channel 4, Sirih.
None of us have given up in countering this trash whenever we can.
December 12th, 2011 at 5:19 am
Mr.Sarath.
I agree with you. We must unite ourself to stop political game with innocent people of Sri Lanka.
December 12th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Dear Lorenzo – Thank you. I prefer to be called a fool in your estimation. However I urged you to consider the gravity of the issues raised in the presentation of Kithsiri Athulathmudali. Your defence of KP being “held” and used to achieve benefits as enumerated from 1 to 7 is a “SUGGAR COATED PILL” and recently this “Poisoning Pill” has beeng given a fresh and much thicker “Coating” by the Norwegians who have pledged millions of NOK to “Rehabilitate the Ex-LTTE combatants”. This work has already started and as annonced recently by no lessor person than the Chairman of the SLBC -in his progamme “Dasa Desin”the training classes are being conducted in a big way in the Eastern Province. He infact urged the authorities to inquire what is been done and monitor these activities.
Anyway this is irrelevant to the issues raised in the submission of Kithsiri and I just took the liberty of inviting your attention to the main topic that we are expected to discuss. So let us get back to the main subject and express our concerns and submit our views. As I see, the issues involved, are:-
1. How do we face the question of the issue of an “Interpol Arrest Warrant” from a Provincial Court in India? Is it binding on a Soverign country like Sri Lanka?
2. Can the Interpol execute this warrant having come to know in un-no certain terms that this person named therein is none other than Kumaran Pathmanatha and that this very person is in the hands of the S/L Govt.?
3. If that person is certainly KP and if there is no case pending or he is not indicted todate under the legal system of S/L, can the the Interpol demand his custody to them to be handed over to the courts who issued the warrant?
4. If the present holders of this person viz. Sri Lanka Government, who incidentally “arrested” him overseas and acknowledged to be in their custody and do not hand him over to the Interpol, will that tantamount to refusal to act upon international treaties and thereby exposing to international prosecution?
5. Will this Interpol Warrant give unlimited powers to “International Institutions” to intervene in the arrest of a”wanted”person and drag S/L Govt. to another arena of International Justice?
These are some of the issues that we have to discuss and I suppose there could be many more that readers of better understanding would like to bring forth.
Since the names of Karuna, Pilliyan, Douglas (I suppose refering to Devananda, and not me) have come up in the comments, I would like to state that they are “defectors”, but not “ARRESTED” persons like KP. Althoough I personally do not trust them, it is one whole subject matter that should be discussed seperately. As far as Dr. Jayalath is concerned, he is an accepted “TRAITOR” who walks freely in the company of Mr. Ranil wickramasinghe.
So let us get back to the main subject matter of the this prsentation of Kithsiri and discuss some of the main issues I have enumerated above and give thoughts to some more important issues that enlightened readers would have.
Over to you readers and Kithsiri too. Thank you all.

Dear Doglus,
The main issue KA has brought up is NOT about handing over KP to TAMIL MADU.
Let me reiterate why we need KP. National security OVERRIDES diplomatic relations/responsibilities (if any).
We need him for the following.
1. Disrupt LTTE logistics operations. Contrary to what some FOOLS think, LTTE logistics operations continue. Read the news about how 5 LTTE arms purchasing agents were arrested in Bangalore yesterday (The Hindu). KP has in depth knowledge of this. No one knows better about this than KP>
2. We can use KP’s contacts to spy on LTTE weapons smuggling abroad. It cannot be stopped due to complex legal issues. So the best we can do is to keep a close watch.
3. KP’s helps was VITAL in dirupting the Transexual Government of Tamil Elam (TGTE). Some elected TGTE “leaders” were KP supporters. They totally brought down the TGTE. Now there is no functioning TGTE!
4. KP holds the key to billions of LTTE money. These can be put to good use than simply let go.
5. KP is a test case of understanding how a terrorist organisation would procure weapons. That makes him very valuable. Throwing him behind bars will bust all that.
6. Today KP has joined the good work of the government. There is no need to disrupt that as long as he is of USE.
7. The traitor-patriot classification TOTALLY changed after the war. Some traitors became patriots and some patriots became traitors. We have to live with modern realities.
Within this context, lets look at the issue.
Nothing good should happen if it goes against national security interests.
“1. How do we face the question of the issue of an “Interpol Arrest Warrant” from a Provincial Court in India? Is it binding on a Soverign country like Sri Lanka?”
A Provincial Court in India CANNOT issue a “Interpol Arrest Warrant”!!!!
ONLY Interpol can issue an Interpol warrent.
Anyway SL has proven TIME AND AGAIN that we |DON’T GIVE A DAMN about Tamil Nadu justice.
e.g. Douglas Devananda – a criminal in Tamil Nadu because he carried out various LOVELY killing operations in disgusting Tamil nadu and killed many terrorists over there which is fantastic.
But for SL, he is a hero who was awarded red carpet welcomes in North India. To hell with Tamil Nadu!
“2. Can the Interpol execute this warrant having come to know in un-no certain terms that this person named therein is none other than Kumaran Pathmanatha and that this very person is in the hands of the S/L Govt.?”
No. The warrent was issued when he was in Malaysia and the Malaysian government (or the Thailand government) DID NOT arrest him for Interpol.
Why should we?
“3. If that person is certainly KP and if there is no case pending or he is not indicted todate under the legal system of S/L, can the the Interpol demand his custody to them to be handed over to the courts who issued the warrant?”
No. The warrent was issued when he was in Malaysia and the Malaysian government (or the Thailand government) DID NOT arrest him for Interpol.
Why should we?
“4. If the present holders of this person viz. Sri Lanka Government, who incidentally “arrested” him overseas and acknowledged to be in their custody and do not hand him over to the Interpol, will that tantamount to refusal to act upon international treaties and thereby exposing to international prosecution?”
No.
“5. Will this Interpol Warrant give unlimited powers to “International Institutions” to intervene in the arrest of a”wanted”person and drag S/L Govt. to another arena of International Justice?”
No. Nothing at all.
It all functions UNDER SOVERIEGNTY upheld to every member state of the UN.
In short,
1. there is NO LEGAL requirement for us to hand over KP to,
1.1. Toilet Nadu courts
1.2. Interpol
2. there is NO OTHER NEED for us to handover KP
3. there IS positively HUGE defence benefits of keeping KP “arrested” by our security forces (the terms of the “arrest” is SOLELY OUR whims and fancies!!).
4. Jeyalath Jayawardena has no f business outside Tamil Nadu where he belongs.
December 12th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Dear Doglas and Sarath,
Let me make this VERY clear.
National security of SL is god almighty. It is the creator of haven and earth. The giver of life and peace.
ANYTHING, I mean anything goes to preserve national security. Let this be written in blood, ashes of the Central bank or the Jaffna library or the bodies of Nanthikadal.
Anything includes anything legal or criminal, good or bad, right or wrong, moral or immoral.
If you have a problem with that, KMA.
December 13th, 2011 at 7:00 pm
Thank you douglas, for the first comments. Thank you Loranzo, for the excellent analysis of the subject and to the rest of commet writers, thank you. Lets put aside for a moment KP. What I did was to open a discussion of what Jajalath Jayawardana did. Next was to shed light on his son’s attack on some people,where some of the injured in this attack had severe injuries. What Jayalath Jayawardana did, (about six years ago) was to bribe the poilce and ship his son out of the country. Any comment write who has inf of this incident, please publish it. I am not an attorney; but any lay person can clearly see the action he took as HIGH TREASON. (Again this is what he did): In August 2011 he went Channai. Contacted the Deputy General Inspector of Police of Tamil Nadu. Gave him Vital Security details of the Sovereign State of Srl Lanka. This is HIGH TREASON and he should be charged. Since creation of the New Republic, no one has been charged with TREASON and that is why this war went for 30 odd years. At lease the Terrorist Investigation Department (TID) must question him. Can some one who has contacts in SL get a copy of the Hanzad and publish it on the lankaweb to see what he tabled? Dailymirror URL. Thank you Kelum Bandara and Yohan Perera

Kit Athul,
Good work calling a spade a spade with this MF call Jeyalath.
Please keep writing such HIGH OCTANE stuff.
December 14th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
Dear Kithsiri – Thank you for responding to my call to come on this web site and participate in the discussion. Hoever, I notice that you are more concerned of knowing some details in regard to Dr. Jaylath’s son and his involvement, rather participation along with the Terrorists of LTTE. What is the use? If Sri Lankans are allowing that man and the UNPers to freely operate in Sri Lanka and abroad to destablize the hard won peace, what more or useful in investigations etc.
Perhaps as Lorenzo indicates KP would be in a highly placed position to provide all that information to you or to the Govt. Please Lorenzo help Kithsiri to get this information through KP whom you hold in high esteem.
Thank you.
December 14th, 2011 at 4:10 pm
It has been 2 years since KP started to “help” the government. This is not going anywhere.
Sometimes it is profitable to let criminals get away politically, but it is always better to punish them.
Law and order is everything. National security and law and order go hand in hand. If in doubt check the name of the Ministry of Defence. It is Ministry of Defence, Law and Order. One cannot compromise for the other.
People will lose patience if the government keeps hoarding criminals. Ruling UPFA already has two thirds majority so there is no need to hoard more criminals. Some can be shed by now.
Sanity should prevail. Crime must be followed by punishment. I’m not saying we should punish KP, Karuna without regard to security benefits. A compromise is needed. But what happens now is all the criminals join the government to escape from jail. It has been suggested that even Fonseka can escape jail if the president wishes to release him. Then why do we have courts and lawyers?
Things will change for sure. UPFA wil go to the opposition. Then it is the same thing. It is better to build a strong law abiding society using the two thirds so that the law becomes supreme and no politician can manipulate the law. It benefits the UPFA too in opposition.
December 14th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
I presume that KP was not a terrorists in the sense he took arms against the Government of Sri Lanka. He was the arms procurer to the LTTE Terrorists. He may have been arrested for aiding and abetting the terrorists. In that respect all those who directly or indirectly aided abetted the LTTE terrorists could be tried for treason, murder and assassinations.
Therefore , Jalath Jayawardhana , the Sampanthan and his TNA goons, and Mano Ganeshan ( and even Rauff Hakeem who also signed a MoU with Prabhakaran) could all be arrested and tried for aiding and abetting LTTE terrorists.
Interpol does not issue arrest warrants. Investigations and arrest are done by the National Police according to the National Law. A warrant for arrest of a person who had committed a grave crime should first be reported to the National Police and obtain a national arrest warrant and send it to the Interpol. It is then that the Interpol could issue a red notice and send it to its Member States. Interpol has in each Member States a National Central Bureau to which any complains for the arrest of a criminal should be reported.
That I think is the procedure, therefore JJ producing it before the Parliament serves no purpose. I do not think that the production of the Interpol arrest warrant in the Parliament could be considered an act of high treason.
But JJ had no right to make it a Nationl issue. He had been doing that probably to help Sarath Fonseka. I doubt whether a court in Sri Lanka would accept an arrest warrant issued by the Chenai police authority. It is the National Police Bureau of the Interpol that has to investigate and request the Sri Lanka legal authorities to obtain an arrest warrant under the Sri Lanka Law governing such procedures of arrest.
JJ is a man who cannot control his emotions and perhaps lives under fear and stress as he is undoubtedly being paid by the terrorist front organizations and the Catholic Church to do their dirty work, and he has to produce results for the money he receives. And as he is unable to do much he acts as a man busy helping the cause of the expatriate terrorists and the Catholic Church churning all the muck he can, accusing every one and making a big hullabaloo.
He is like an old women hired to cry in a funeral house.
December 15th, 2011 at 9:26 pm
The treasonable act that Jayalath Jayawardana carried out is as follows: As reported in the Daily Mirror, he went to Chennai Tamil Nadu in August 2011 and met with the Deputy General Inspector of Police, then gave vital security information pertinant to Sri Lanka to a forign government law enforcement agency. The word and the sprit of this action must be taken in to account. Where upon receiving this information in writing, a Judge in Chennai issued an arrest warrant. Every one knew that KP is in Sri Lanka and in custody of the SL government, but without the written notification; the Chennai court could not issue the arrest warrent. “THIS IS THE TREASONABLE ACT”. What happens to the arrest warrant or KP is irrelevant, what is relevant is as follows: He took vital National Security Information, pertinant to the Sovereign State of Sri Lanka’s national safty of her armed forces and the general public, to an adversary who has shown that it can manipulate this information to the decrement and eventual destruction of the present government. Now that is HIGH TREASON. This is hypothetical: what if Jayalath Jayawradana gvae exact location of KP to Tamil Nadu Police and a third pary captured him and smuggled him out to Tamil Nadu? Could that be Treason? That has happened in the past. After killing Alfrod Drayappa, Prabharakeran took a boat to Tamil Nadu. So no one could get to him.
Charles clearly state that tabling of the arrest warrant in parliament is not a treasonalble act. He is right.
December 15th, 2011 at 9:31 pm
Thanks Douglas, JJ son, I was only trying get maximum disgrace to Jayalath Jayawardena. Kithsiri
