I found a typo error in my comment please make the correction and delete my previous comment, thank you:

My comment should read as follows:
I have come out of self imposed silence only to salute Sunila Abeyasekera, an exceptional woman whom I never met but admired and respected for having the courage of her convictions, often standing alone in her relentless fight for social justice and against inequality and impunity; she was never afraid to speak up for the rights of the Tamil people until her last breath! With her passing we have lost a rare voice of dissent from among the Sinhalese community in her condemnation for the continued lack of “clarity on what is on offer for the Tamil people,” or the lack there of on the part of the government of “a vision and the courage to move forward into an arena where the future of Sri Lanka may me resolved.” May her soul rest in peace.
