Sangaree tells in Canada how Tamil Tigers tortures other Tamils in Sri Lanka
Sangaree tells in Canada how Tamil Tigers tortures other Tamils in Sri Lanka

V. Ananda Sangaree, President of the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) , the largest Tamil democratic political party in Sri Lanka charged Tamil people in the Northern part of the country are subjected to worst human rights violations like detention camps, dark room chambers, torture camps, abductions, killings, compulsory recruitments of children as child soldiers by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

Due to this Mr. Prabakaran has earned the very disgraceful title as the leader of the most ruthless terrorist organization in the world. He also brought utter disgrace to the Tamil community which is proud of its culture and civilization.

I expected Mr. Prabakaran to show some sympathy towards the suffering Tamils of the North and East who are undergoing untold hardship more in the hands of his cadres than from anybody else. Twenty-five years of subjugation under his leadership made the people to lose all confidence in him and in his cadres.
The Tamil people who had been deprived of all their rights, including fundamental and democratic rights, as well as the right to live peacefully, are anxiously waiting to be liberated to enjoy the fruits of freedom and democracy. It may not be an exaggerated view, if I conclude by saying that the impact of a series of bans on the LTTE and the more recent policy decision of the government of Canada has weakened the LTTE. It gives signals of early liberation of the people of northern Sri Lanka from the LTTE, the so-called liberators. (EOM)

The Tamil democratic leader said, The outside world is not aware of these atrocities that are going on behind the LTTE s Iron Curtain area. Up to now no one had refuted my charge that, in the areas under the control of the LTTE there are detention camps, dark room chambers, torture camps, abductions, killings, compulsory recruitments of children as child soldiers, mercilessly assaulting parents who resist conscription of children and many other such atrocious acts of the LTTE cadres. The people are so fed up that they want to run away from their homes into government-held areas but they are driven further deep into the area under LTTE control and are often used as human shields.

Paalamodai was stronghold of LTTE before, now it is gone. I would say the chances of Kili falls to SLA in the favor of 70/30 now. If SLA reaches Kili, Tamils, especially diaspora, won't trust LTTE anymore since they have used the tactical withdrawal one too many times whenever it was convenient.
