Nature of Lasantha`s killers
[http://www.uthr.org/SpecialReports/spreport31.htm] [The next step announced in Trincomalee through anonymous posters and leaflets in early 2008, while the Government kept silent, was on the same lines. These announced that Sinhalese businesses and Sinhalese owned establishments must get rid of employees from the minorities and employ only Sinhalese. The businessmen knew that this call was backed by the terror apparatus of the State and dared not disobey. Chooty Mudalali had to lay off some trusted Tamils who worked in his administrative office. But he continued to help many poor Tamils as well as Sinhalese. The branding of Chooty as an LTTE man in the new fascist dispensation led to what was not unexpected. There is no doubt in the minds of the people that Chooty fell victim to state terror. A large number of Tamils went to his home at 4th Mile Post. The body was then due to be taken to Trincomalee town. Many Sinhalese received anonymous phone calls threatening them against attending the funeral. But this did not stop a large number of Sinhalese and Tamils paying their last respects. The Police was forced to send about a hundred men to maintain order at the funeral, which Chooty s killers wanted to turn into a damp squib . Knowing the mind of the movers and shakers of this government, one wonders when Sinhalese employing Tamils in Colombo would start receiving threats. The next case is one of the same ilk. ] |
