Sri Lankan Tamil Tiger rebels in Govt-organised rehabilitation exercise 'disappear' | Three Sri Lankan Tamil Tiger rebels who took part in a government-organised
rehabilitation ceremony last year have disappeared. According to a rights campaigner,
the men have apparently been taken away by the government authorities. It has
emerged that parents saw photos of their children at the ceremony attended by
President Rajapaksa, but now know nothing of their fate. Human rights campaigner
and former MP Mano Ganesan said that when they saw the photograph they made inquiries
with police, the government and the army, but got only "negative responses". The
BBC quoted Ganesan, as saying that there may have been similar disappearances
after earlier ceremonies. According to the report the government did not even
tell their families that the men were in the camps or attending the event. The
parents only learned their sons were present when they saw them in a newspaper
photograph. Meanwhile, Ganesan has said that he is "looking into" these cases
and asked concerned parents to visit him.
