SLA activities in Northeast on 3 May 2006

Jaffna University Students Union called on the Jaffna public to shut down all public institutions and activities on 4 Monday 2006, to protest the attack on the Uthayan Press Office and the murders of Tamil civilians.

The call asked the people to protest to raise the awareness of the international community about the murders of Tamil civilians, Tamil students, Tamil journalists, and Tamil intellectuals.

The call to protest also appealed to the internal community and the international media to apply pressure on the GoSL to stop its violence against the Tamil people.

SLA manufactures criminals out o innocent students for the attack on Uthayan

Four out of town students living together in a home for studying in Jaffna were arrested by the SLA in order to present them as the culprits for the attack on Uthayan Press. When the students were produced in the courts the judge released them on bail.

The principal of the school where they were studying has appealed that the students are innocent.

SLA had arrested the innocent students to showcase that they are taking action for the attack on the Uthayan Press and to deflect international criticism that SLA had colluded in the attack.
