Children abducted to force parents participate in paramilitary march
More than 300 young men and women including children were rounded up and abducted by paramilitary group in Batticaloa town and its suburbs on Sunday night.
Having abducted the young people the paramilitary group ordered their parents to attend a march against the LTTE organized by the paramilitary group. The parents were warned to be present at the Batticaloa Weber Stadium today morning at 10.00am or else their children will be shot dead. The abductions and the following warning to the parents follows when the Tamil people of Batticaloa town and suburbs paid no attention to a call by the same paramilitary group for a march against the LTTE.
