Thousands of Tamils still being held in Sri Lanka detention camps...

Tens of thousands of Tamil civilians, who fled the fighting in the final days of the military’s offensive against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), remain in squalid detention camps in northern Sri Lanka. The official total is 106,000, with around 80,000 people still in the Manik Farm camps near the town of Vavuniya.

After the LTTE’s defeat last May, the army rounded up 280,000 men, women and children and put them in detention centres surrounded by barbed wire and armed soldiers. No one was permitted to leave. Visitors were heavily vetted. Thousands of young men and women were interrogated by police and military intelligence officers, and incarcerated in other, undisclosed centres as “LTTE suspects”. More...

  1. Tamils backing the very man who set out to destroy them!!!
  2. You can't go home again to Jaffna, Sri Lanka...

  4. Dead bodies everywhere...
  5. Sri Lankan execution video authentic, says British newspaper...
