The 13 year old daughter, Vipoosika, of the disappearances campaigner, Balendran Jeyakumari, was ordered to remain in a children's home today, by a Kilinochchi court, reported Uthayan.

She was detained by the Sri Lankan military along side her mother on March 13th. Ms. Jeyakumari is currently detained in Boosa prison, accused by the military of harbouring an armed criminal with alleged links to the LTTE, named Gopi.

According to the Sri Lankan government, Vipoosika was detained as there was no responsible relative present to care for her.
