Commendable Quote
  Europe which has a total population of 800 million is made up of 45 language based nation states. South Asia which has a total population of one billion, (1000 million) is comprised of four states. Who is preventing and therefore benefiting by limiting new nation-states in South Asia?

LTTE Hands Over Seven Underage Children to their Parents

LTTE handed over seven underage recruits to their parents through Fr Karunaratnam, Director of NESOHR, at the NESOHR office in Killinochchi on Friday April 1st. All the children are in the 16-17 age group. Fr Karunaratnam spoke individually to the children about their family to ensure that they are returning to save homes.

One boy of 16 has been left almost as a servant with another family since he was 4 years old. The boy stopped attending school at the age 12. Eventually at the age of 16 he cycled 70 Kilometers to join LTTE. Having learnt about the boy's background LTTE joined him at the centre run by TRO so that he could obtain a vocational training. The boy was happily settled into the training prograame. Although he was handed over to his father because it was the wish of the father, Fr Karunaratnam expressed his concern for the boy's future and urged the boy and his father to continue with the training that the boy has started. However, the boy's father took him away.
