Summary

[edit]
Description

A simple memorial vigil to mark the 25th death anniversary of Richard de Zoysa was held yesterday (18 February 2015) at the Dutch Hospital premises in Colombo.

Born in 1958, de Zoysa was known as a journalist, actor and a human rights activist. He played the role of a left wing activist Malin Kabalana in Lester James Peiris's film Yuganthaya. It was a notable role in the Sinhalese cinema of the 1980s. Based on the character of the novel 'Yuganthaya' by renowned writer Martin Wickremasingha, Kabalana significantly mirrored de Zoysa's background and beliefs.

De Zoysa was murdered on February 18, 1990, in the last days of the JVP insurrection, allegedly by a death squad connected to the government. His body was found in Moratuwa area. However, no one has been found to be responsible for the murder.
