Former LTTE official Thamilini dies

Former senior LTTE official Subramaniam Sivakamy, better known as Colonel Thamilini, has died at the age of 43, due to cancer. She was reportedly hospitalised a few days ago and passed away this morning.

Col Thamilini, from Paranthan in Kilinochchi, was the head of the LTTE women's wing political division and one of the most senior members of the movement to be detained by the Sri Lankan military in 2009. She was held in Welikada prison for 3 years, before being moved to Poonthottam rehabilitation camp. She was released to her family in June 2013.
