Former LTTE cadre sentenced to life imprisonment for abducting and recruiting children to fight during war
Posted on July 27th, 2017
Vavuniya High Court on July 26 sentenced K. Dasan, a former cadre of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) for abducting and recruiting children to fight during the war, to life imprisonment, reports Colombo Page. In 2008, complaints have been lodged with the Police that the suspect had abducted children on several occasions. However, the Police at the time were not able to arrest him since he was with the terrorist organization. After the end of the war, the suspect has surrendered to the security forces and was rehabilitated. Following his return to his home in Kilinochchi, the Police had taken him into custody on a complaint made by his family and produced him in court for trial.
Meanwhile, the European Court of Justice in Brussels on July 26 removed LTTE from its terrorism blacklist, reports Colombo Page. In 2006, the Council of the European Union placed on the list the LTTE, a movement which opposed the Government of Sri Lanka in a violent confrontation that resulted in the LTTE’s defeat in 2009. The Council has maintained the LTTE on the list ever since. By the judgment the Court of Justice reaffirming its case-law, said the European Union had not provided any evidence showing that the LTTE was a risk after their military defeat in 2009.

Sirisena will say the judges rulying undermines the Sanhindiyawa. Well done Vavuniya courts.
I heard Kytes (Kaits) court have ordered to question Vijayakala over the release of the suspect of Vidya murder case. The conduct of the Jaffna HC judge at the death of the Sinhalese police security officer is very commendable. Judge Illancheriyan shut the mouth of the Police spokesman, then he promised to look after the two children of the Police Officer to ensure the children get a good education.
Well done Tamil community. Jayawewa. You need to protect your community from the NGO and foreign backed traitors / politicians.

WHat a piece of trash this LTTE Cadre is. He is the lowest form of life to recruit children to fight in his evil war. Which the Sri Lankan army ended and saved many children from these most evil criminals like this former LTTE cadre. Good on Vavuniya high court. The pathetic and interfering UNHRC should take not where their human rights allegations should be directed. Sri Lanka army deserves a nobel peace prize! But no that discredited organisation would rather give their nobel peace prize to war criminals like Obama. Who supported ISIS and the remnants of the LTTE.
