Ki’linochchi rises up against resettlement farce and SL military occupation

Ki’linochchi rises up against resettlement farce and SL military occupation

[TamilNet, Friday, 28 September 2012, 10:22 GMT]
More than 50% of the participants, who took part in a protest held opposite the District Secretariat of Ki'linochchi district on Thursday, were parents of missing persons, allegedly abducted or arrested and held incomunicado by the occupying Sri Lankan military. The protestors who carried the photos of their missing kith and kin, put forward three main demands to the SL State and to the United Nations Human Rights Council, to end Sinhala colonisation in the Tamil homeland, to ensure freedom of movement to the civilians to resettle in their own houses and to reveal the whereabouts of their loved ones. The protest, organised by the Tamil National Alliance, saw the participation of Tamil National Peoples Front (TNPF) and Democratic Peoples Front (DPF).



TNA leaders, Mavai Senathiraja, S. Sritharan and Vino Noakraathalingam, together with DPF leader Mano Ganesan and Selvaraja Kajendren, the general secretary of the TNPF, attended the peoples’ protest.

Protest in Ki'linochchi
The Sri Lankan State, which has not recognized the resolution passed during the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) sessions in March this year, is continuing with the same trend of subjugating the Tamil people, Maavai Senathiraja, a leader of the ITAK told the gathering.

While Mavai Senathiraja of the TNA was harping on the US-tabled Geneva resolution, Selvarajah Kajendren of the TNPF criticised the TNA for having failed to set the course in correct direction.

By failing to attend the UNHRC sessions and by simply calling for the countries to back the resolution, the TNA not only failed in setting the trend, but also shares the responsibility in the post-Geneva scenario for having brought the accountability process onto an LLRC-based track, which is full of traps, Mr Kajendren said. While xtending TNPFs support to agitations being organised by the TNA, Kajendren also appreciated the TNA for taking part in the protests organised by the TNPF.
