Massive street protests unless the killing stops - Jaffna Students Union warns
Jaffna Students Union warned that if the Sri Lankan military do not stop its abductions and killings, they will force the schools and government offices to close and launch massive protests on the streets. In their statement the Students Union also said,
Vice Chancellor of the Jaffna University in a protest against the Sri Lankan military “Civilians in Jaffna are facing starvation on the one hand and the incessant killings and abductions by the Sri Lankan military on the other hand. Jaffna people are living in a state of unbearable terror. Jaffna Students Union warns that it will launch massive protests in the streets unless Sri Lankan military stops the killings”. The statement further said, “Schools in Jaffna have been functioning without any basic facilities. Students are in fear though they physically go to school. There is no security guarantee for the students from the Sri Lankan military. Charles aged 15 from Kayts and Rajeevan aged 14 from Kondavil, both of them school students, were killed by the Sri Lankan military last week. We can tolerate no longer the cruel killings of innocent school students by the Sri Lankan military which is systematically executing a form of ethnic cleansing of the Tamils in the Jaffna peninsula. Neither the children rights groupss nor those who pledged to solve the students’ problems during our protests in the past have condemned or questioned the killings of school students”.
