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.

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.
Life is thus made almost unbearable for those who do not fall in line with the LTTE. For those who do not fully conform, it is very difficult to leave the Vanni even for urgent medical treatment. Consequently the extreme bitterness against the LTTE also expresses itself in willingness to act as saboteurs and to set off landmines provided by the Sri Lankan Army.

Another function of intelligence is to prevent people from listening to the Ithayaveenai Tamil programme broadcast by government radio, just as people outside browse TamilNet because they don t believe the Defence Ministry s propaganda. The LTTE punishes offenders by sending them to dig bunkers.

The LTTE s control hinges on poruppalars (persons-in-charge or divisional heads). The official may be in charge of a political, administrative or a security division. They are the virtual maharajahs or fiefs. Many of them live in luxury houses amidst so much drabness and poverty. While ordinary people could hardly afford the highly inflated prices at which the LTTE sells cement, the poruppalars frequently have garden walls with well-shaped black stones. Anyone peeping inside would see a well-maintained garden.

Vanni is a place where there are intelligence units everywhere. There are intelligence units for education, for distribution of rations and supply, for agriculture, and for photography all persons are photographed besides the regular Pottu Amman s intelligence. The Police do their own intelligence work.
and when the state intel vedioed some Tamils, in colombo, Mano Ganeshan had a fit!! |

A year ago, Killinochchi AGA Nithyananthan was travelling on his motorcycle with his young daughter on the pillion. He was stopped by the LTTE and the girl was taken. Nothing more has since been heard of her.
A Village Headman Pasupathy was asked for his daughters. He negotiated with the LTTE to take him and spare his two girls. The LTTE agreed and he went. Six months later the LTTE went to his home and took one of the girls. Not caring a thing for the father s bitter feelings, the LTTE recruiters went around saying, See now, this educated government officer Pasupathy has joined, why can t you join?

The new conscripts, who hoped against hope that they could escape, are put through brainwashing. Given the political reality of a detested government, most are turned around. Since the LTTE sees the new conscripts as the most likely to attempt escape, they are plainly told, You are here to die for the Nation. If you don t die today, you may die some weeks later. So why not die now? They are encouraged to volunteer for risky operations. Many of those dying on the front lines are the new conscripts those who join voluntarily now are exceptional |
