The government will introduce tough laws for human traffickers and organisers of boat trips and measures will be taken to forfeit their assets and will serve a jail term of up to 20 years instead of the present two.
This is a response to the essay of Dr. A.C. Visvalingam in the Sunday Island of August 26 titled “Improving the Atmosphere to Foster National Unity”.

Dear Sir,
As requested by you I am forwarding my comments on some aspects of the report of CCIA for your consideration.
As a Tamil domiciled in Australia I served the Tamil community by editing the only Tamil community newspaper, UTHAYAM. I ran it for 14 years My experiences in dealing with the Tamil community, both in Australia and in Sri Lanka, make me feel sad about the callous way in which the media is exploiting the suffering of our Tamil people for self-serving ends.
