LTTE threatens new entrants to Universities
It is reported that the LTTE has threatened the families of undergraduates seeking admission to universities in the unredeemed areas in the Wanni to handover one member from their family to join the LTTE ranks if they were to be allowed to read for their Degrees.
This virtually amounts to conscription where members are forced to join the LTTE ranks. Some students from the above areas have reported to the Army post at Omanthai that unless a member of the family is sent to the LTTE carders, they would not be permitted to pursue their studies at Universities.
About 12 students from Jaffna, Colombo and Ruhuna Universities have entered State controlled areas through Omanthai. It is also learnt that undergraduate of Wanni have been provided a basic combat training by the LTTE.
If no recruitment was made to the LTTE, such students would have to make a big contribution towards the LTTE or LTTE Hero's Union.
The LTTE regional office would issue a certificate to the effect that undergraduates have given a member of their family to the LTTE or made a contribution towards the hero's union, it was only after that they were able to move out from Kilinochchi.
Republic of Tamil Eelam just keeps getting better!
