Jaffna fears remembering Tamil war dead...

News of the suicide of the young student reached Jaffna households early on Thursday, a reminder of the days when death no longer shocked anyone here.

Senthuran Rajeswaran was 18.

Before he jumped in front of the train, he is alleged to have written a letter appealing to the "good governance" of President Maithripala Sirisena and his administration.

Police said the letter found in the young man's house demanded the release of all political prisoners.

Six years after the end of the civil war that killed at least 100,000 people, Jaffna seems to be on a slow and steady ascent towards freedom and normality. More + photos...
