Sangaree appeals to Prabha again
The TULF leader V. Anandasangaree in his latest letter last week to
LTTE leader V. Prabhakaran called for his surrender along with his
cadres as that would be the only way to save the Tamil people who are
forcibly detained in a small area in the North.
Sangaree in his letter said “As far as we can see the war is over.
What is happening today is mopping up and winding up operations in a
small area where 81,000 families had been squeezed into. Detaining these
people indefinitely will not help you in any way.
“The future position of your entire group is also highly insecure.
Rather than losing all of them please come to your senses and save the
remaining numbers of your cadre. Please surrender them and all of them
can be saved under a general amnesty. Please disband your organisation
and surrender to the Armed Forces. This is the only way by which you
could save them.
“You are being accused by the international community of ill-treating
the people. The UN and EU had condemned your action. The UN High
Commission for Human Rights and organisations like the Amnesty
International have accused you of compulsorily detaining innocent
people.
The Tamils in important cities all over the world have demanded that
the innocent people should be saved, who do not speak for you. The
message for you is to release our people. The responsibility of saving
Tamils is now entirely in your hands,” Anandasangaree said in his letter
to Prabhakaran.
