Students demonstrate in Trincomalee demanding removal of sentry points near schools
School students in Trincomalee boycotted classes yesterday, 29th August 2005 demanding the removal of sentry points close to the schools. Because of the demonstration Tamil Schools did not function yesterday in Trincomalee town.
On May 15th 2005, Trincomalee District Tamil People Front staged a five days continuous Hartal condemning the establishment of unlawful statue in the bus-stand in Trincomalee town. After this Hartal, large number of troops were deployed in Trincomalee town and its suburbs. Sentry points were established close to Tamil schools. Though the armed forces were repeatedly requested to move from locations near schools, there was no response.
