University Teachers for Human Rights (Jaffna) Sri Lanka, UTHR(J)
Information Bulletin No. 46
Date of Release: 8th July 2008
http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2008_07_01_archive.html
This is indeed an eye opener to everyone.
3. How the LTTE Survives? People Believe in the Struggle though not in the LTTE
For a force that has repeatedly proclaimed each current round of war to be decisive and final, and pushed up the toll of dead cadres from 550 in 1987 to what it officially declared to be 19 877 on 20th November 2007, has thrived without getting anywhere near finality in its stated goal. The civilian dead, including the thousands the LTTE killed in mass executions for real or imagined political reasons in its dreaded mass prisons in the early 1990s, and in regular individual killings, would be even higher.
What is remarkable again is that the people in the North-East have increasingly hated the LTTE. In the Vanni, the hatred is uniform, mainly because of conscription. Even its victories, which make news headlines around the world, evoke contempt. A local observer was very critical of the suicide commando attack on Anuradhapura air base on 22nd October 2007 by a team of 21 commandos, pictures of whose last farewell with the LTTE leader hit the headlines. What was the use of having them killed? the observer asked, in such missions the loss of life must be kept in the single figures . He added, If they are doing such an operation, they must strike a deadly blow that would bring the Government to its knees. These would just alert them to step up their guard.

5. Life in the Vanni
Life in the Vanni is something between outright fascist repression and a horrid joke gone too far. The LTTE used to be ambivalent about university ragging of the freshers during the 1980s. Sometimes they would oppose ragging, and at other times support it when students opposed to them were against it. Vanni is one gigantic rag.
For some time after the outbreak of the current round of war in 2006, old men in their late sixties and mid seventies were forced to do home defence training. Men who could barely walk were forced to train, tottering in an attempt to run, carrying poles (made at their expense) as substitutes for guns. Standing continuously on guard duty was unbearable torture. One septuagenarian got permission from an officer to place his bicycle against a tree and rest his back on the seat while on duty. Another officer came along and gave him a verbal lashing for resting on the bicycle seat. The practice of forcing elders was later stopped.

There was a long controversy about the 54 young schoolgirls killed in the aerial bomb attack on a camp in Vallipunam on 14th August 2006 where it was maintained that the girls were receiving first aid training. Residents now confirm that the girls were forcibly taken by the LTTE and the training was of a military nature. This does not however justify the Government bombing the schoolgirls.
So the girls died when undertaking military training.
