According to the information received, Ms. Rankothge Mauri Inoka Kumari Jayasena
has been the victim of intimidation and harassment since the disappearance of her
husband, Mr. Madushka Haris De Silva, in 2013, as a consequence of her actions and
inquiries into his fate and whereabouts. On 1 November 2014, Ms. Kumari Jayasena
was reportedly abducted by a group of unidentified individuals who ordered her, at
gunpoint, to stop searching for her disappeared husband. She was released later in the
day and since then, is believed to have become the subject of constant surveillance in
her home town of Anuradhapura, North Central Province. Prior to her abduction, Ms.
Kumari Jayasena had received a number of threats, including death threats. However,
the police failed to thoroughly investigate all reported incidents.
