Editorial gloss

Tamil journalist D.B.S. Jeyaraj's analysis of the April 2025 PTA arrest of Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan (Pillayan), characterising the timing as politically inflected in the context of Sri Lankan local-authority elections. Used as an attributed framing — not a TLTE finding. Pillayan was acquitted on 13 January 2021 in the Pararajasingham 2005 indictment.
