Fishermen attacked in Mullaithivu sea

On 25 June fisherarmen in the Mullaithivu seas were attacked by the Sri Lankan Navy.

The fishermen went to sea collect the nets they have cast the previous day. When they were attacked the fishermen rushed back to the shore. They attempted to collect their nets again because the nets are a very costly item which the poor fishermen cannot afford to lose. However, when they neared their nets they saw the Sri Lankan Navy leaving with the nets the fishermen had cast.

Such theft of fishermen’s equipment has been a good source of income for the Sri Lankan Navy for decades. It is an easy theft because there are no other witnesses in the sea, especially after dark which is the traditional fishing time.
