        Thiviyan, who was
        arrested on 2 July 2001 by the Sri Lankan armed forces, because he led a
        non-violent resistance by University students against army atrocities in
        Jaffna, was released today. Ilankai Tamil sangam USA, wishes to thank Malathy Naguleswaran for sponsoring a worldwide campaign in November last year for his release, and also wish to thank all who added their signatures to this campaign supported by our website. We also wish to salute Thiviyan, for his courage and wisdom, at such a tender age, resisting the assault on his people. | |||
