Pamphlets issues death threat to Jaffna school students selling student magazinePamphlets, purportedly issued by the Sri Lankna military in Jaffna has threatened school students for selling a school magazine.The magazine called “Chalaram” (window) is a monthly magazine that includes contributions from the students in schools throughout Jaffna. It has been publishing for more than a decade. The pamphlet threatened students who sell the magazine to school students with death. This is another development in the ongoing suppression of student activities in Jaffna by the Sri Lankan military. A week ago four school students were abducted by the military and they remain missing to date. Three students studying at Jaffna Hindu College, one student studying at Jaffna St John’s College were abducted from their homes by armed gunmen working with the Sri Lankan military. Both these school where the four students were studying are two of the leading schools in Jaffna. All of these students were studying towards the GCE Advance Level examination to be held in three months and were working hard towards these very competitive examinations. The disappearance and the pamphlets are seen by the students and their parents as a deliberate ploy to disrupt the students working towards their GCE AL examination. They believe that the GoSL has active plans to destroy the strong educational foundations of the Jaffna society. Two more students abducted in a similar manner in January also remain missing. Parents of all six missing students believe the Sri Lankan military and it’s paramilitary forces to be behind the abductions. The names of the missing students are: 1. R. Ramanendran, aged 18, a Commerce student at the Jaffna Hindu College abducted from his home on 4 May 2007. 2. Suntharalingam Yasotharan, aged 17, studying at Jaffna Hindu College was abducted from his home on 4 May 2007. 3. Nagarajah Venukanthan, aged 18, studying Jaffna Hindu College was abducted from his home on 4 May 2007. 4. Kugarajan Kannan, aged 17, studying at St. John's College was abducted from his home on 4 May 2007. 5. Thananjayan, a student at Velayutham Boys’ School was abducted on 12 January 2007. 6.
