[TamilNet, Tuesday, 13 December 2016, 22:23 GMT]The occupying military establishment of genocidal Sri Lanka has
tightened its military intelligence grip on Eezham Tamils deploying
various tactics within the last few days in Batticaloa, Trincomalee,
Mullaiththeevu, Ki’linochchi, Jaffna and Mannaar, according to reports
coming from all the corners of the occupied country of Eezham Tamils.
Fresh deployments of so-called ‘Special Task Force’ commandos, a
full-fledged combat military administratively coming under SL Police has
been silently moved into several locations in the Jaffna peninsula
‘integrating’ SL military intelligence in a sophisticated manner. There
are also fresh attempts to acquire lands for intelligence outfits being
expanded in Jaffna. In the meantime, several new tactics are being
deployed by the SL military intelligence in other parts of the Tamil
homeland.
A military Intelligence officer attached to Palaali military base in
Jaffna has gone to the extent of deploying sexually abusive language
against a female Tamil sub-editor of a Jaffna daily that carried a story
about the occupying military’s cricket playground in the lands seized
from the people of Valikaamam North. The sub-editor has come under
harassment for not revealing the details of the reporter who filed the
story.
SL ‘Terrorist Investigation Department’ and the ‘State
Intelligence Service’ (earlier known as National Intelligence Bureau),
are pressing through Divisional Secretary in Jaffna to allocate lands
for their future bases and offices targeting the Hospital Road.
Ponnambalam Dayanadan, who was earlier the Land Commissioner of Northern
Province and a close confidante of ex-military governor to North, is
now exerting pressure on civil sources to collaborate with the plan for
allocating lands and properties to SL intelligence outfits according to
instructions coming from SL President Maithiripala Sirisena, civil
sources in Jaffna said.
In the meantime, SL military and police
intelligence has carried out brutal torture on a Tamil political
activist, who has been detained on the false allegation of involvement
in a criminal squad in Jaffna. The torture has caused traumatic injuries
to his private parts. During the torture, the victim was forced to open
his Facebook and e-mail accounts. The torture intensified as the
military interrogators were reading the messages. The interrogators
were particularly angry on the role played by the activist in Ezhuka
Thamizh uprising held in Jaffna.
In Ki’linochchi and
Mullaiththeevu, SL military intelligence has deployed new tactics. SL
military obtained the bank accounts of some of the families with members
reported missing during the war, or those who are unaccounted for since
their surrender or arrest. The targeted families received 25,000 rupees
per month for three to four months in a regular basis. Later, SL
military intelligence personnel showed up asking these families to
collaborate with them as ‘moles’ from within the victim community. The
families, have been instructed to report in detail on which
organizations and individuals that show interest in providing assistance
to them and other families in their situation.
Earlier,
Rajapaksa’s military operatives used to collect details through
Tamil-speaking Sinhala operatives. But, now SL military intelligence is
adopting more sophisticated tactics, commented rights activists in
Ki’linochchi.
In Trincomalee, the occupying SL military and navy
intelligence have ‘appointed’ a person to be in charge of reporting
from defined intelligence zones. Moothoor East of Trincomalee district
has been divided into 9 different zones and the person in charge of each
zone has to report in writing on regular basis about ‘everything that
moves, including the direction of the wind within the target zone,’ as a
Sinhala military intelligence officer has told the recruits in a recent
meeting.
SL Army has filled out 3 forms while the SL Navy has
used to other forms from the recruits in Moothoor East. Each recruit was
instructed to submit 3 photos, the sources in Trincomalee said.
In Mannaar, Colombo has deployed hundreds of intelligence personnel the city and its suburbs within the last 2-3 days.
The
intelligence personnel deployed in the city of Mannaar are recruiting
collaborators among the Tamils and Muslims. It is mostly people who have
no jobs and who roam around the city and its suburbs, who are being
exploited by the intelligence personnel to collect details in Mannaar,
informed sources in Mannaar said.
But, in the areas that came
under LTTE’s civil administration before 2009 in Vanni mainland of
Mannaar district, the SL military is recruiting families affiliated
with the LTTE in the past as informants in Musali, Madu and in Maanthai
West divisions, the sources further said.
