පසුගිය රජය සමයේ දිවි බේරාගැනිම සදහා රටහැර යන්නට සිදුව තිබුන මාධ්‍යවේදින්ට ලංකාවට යළිත් එන්නට යැයි ජනමාධ්‍ය ඇමතිවරයා මෙන්ම අනෙකුත් බලධාරින්ද අවස්ථා ගණනාවකදිම ප්‍රසිද්ධියේම ඉල්ලා තිබුණි.
එසේ වුවද මාධ්‍යවේදින් යළිත් සිය රට බලා පැමිනෙද්දි ඔවුන් ගුවන්තොටුපලේදි අත්අඩංගුවට ගෙන උසාවියට ඉදිරිපත්කරන්නට ආගමන විගමන දෙපාර්තමේන්තුව සහ බුද්ධි අංශ නිළධාරින් කටයුතු කිරිම පසුගිය කාලය තුලදි ක්‍රියාත්මක විය.
මෙහි අලුත්ම ගොදුර වි තිබුනේ මඩකලපුවේ මාධ්‍යවේදියෙකු ලෙසින් සේවය කර තිබුන සසිකරන් නැමැත්තාය.
2016 ජනවාරි 20 වනදා ඔහු ඕස්ට්‍රෙලියාවේ සිට ලංකාවට පැමිණ සිටි අවස්ථාවේදි ගුවන්තොටුපල නිළධාරින් විසින් ඔහු අත්අඩංගුවට ගෙන තිබුණි.
දින 2 කක් රදවා තබාගැනිමෙන් අනතුරුව 2016 ජනවාරි 22 වනදා මීගමුවේදි අධිකරණයට ඉදිරිපත් කිරිමට නියමිත බව වාර්ථාවේ .
සසිකරන් සිය රටබලා පැමිණිමට පෙර ඔහුගේ සෑබෑ තත්වය පිලිබදව දැනුවත් කරමින් ජනාධිපති තුමා ,විදේශ කටයුතු අමාත්‍යවරයා සහ ජනමාධ්‍ය අමාත්‍යවරයාටද ලිපියක් යවා තිබුණි.

The Honorable President,
Mr. Maithripala Sirisena,
Presidential secretariat,
Colombo 01.
Dear Sir,
Request to facilitate the process to return to Sri Lanka
The above named S. Sasikaran is a Sri Lankan Tamil citizen, a journalist and media professional lived in Mamamgam in Batticaloa before leaving Sri Lanka for Australia during the troubled time. At the time I was employed with Ran FM representing Batticaloa district as its reporter and also have worked for many web sites giving my knowledge regarding the political environment. (Media ID is attached herewith)
Also during the post tsunami period I was entrusted to work as the Batticaloa District Coordinator for the People’s Planning Commission under Mrs. Sugala Kumari which was implemented with the mediation of 5 local organizations and 11 local and international commissioners and with the representation of 170 local organizations aiming to develop a community oriented plan for recovery after tsunami. At the same time I worked for National Fisheries Solidarity Movement (NAFSO and its national convener is Mr. Herman Kumara) as its Batticaloa District Coordinator. Further I had been worked as a member of the CaFFE election monitoring team covering the election process in the district.
During the time of the previous regime I was subjected to life threats due to my involvement as a media person. My work and movements had been monitored by the unknown people and detected that I was been followed by the people came by white vans without number plates in many instances. Under these circumstances for the sake of saving my life, I decided to leave the country. Thus I left Sri Lanka in an illegal manner and came to Australia.
Currently I am working as a journalist for the Special Broadcasting Services (SBS), a broadcasting organization affiliated with the Australian government. (Letter from the SBS is attached herewith).
Honorable Sir, as per your request, immediately after forming the new government, requesting the immigrants to come back to the mother country, I am also desperately looking forward to return to Sri Lanka. Hence sir, I humbly request your guidance and protection to pave the way for my safety return to Sri Lanka.
Please contact following person for further information of me.
