Jaffna Political Wing of the LTTE condemns SLA’s arbitrary search operations throughout Jaffna
The Sri Lankan Army (SLA) has recently been conducting sudden cordon and search operations throughout Jaffna. The Deputy Head of the Jaffna District LTTE Political Wing, Mr Kannan, reported these activities to Jaffna District Head of SLMM, Ari Baker at a meeting they recently held Pallai. Mr Kannan stated the following in the meeting with SLMM.
“The SLA is increasing their sudden cordon and search operations of civilian homes in Jaffna. The SLA is handling civilians in an undignified and humiliating manner in these operations. These activities are disturbing the normalcy of people’s lives. People are outraged by these sudden and humiliating cordon and searches. The army has also threatened to remove photographs of Maveerar (LTTE martyrs) that are on the walls of residents’ homes.” “The offices of the LTTE Political Wing in Jaffna that have been closed since the withdrawal of LTTE members several weeks ago, were also thoroughly searched by the SLA. The offices were found with the doors broken and furniture missing, and it is reported the SLA confiscated the furniture.” “The SLA is violating the ceasefire agreement and basic human rights by these activities,” Mr Kannan added.
