The Sri Lanka Guardian in its online news said that information filtering through highly restricted government sources confirms a number of LTTE leaders arrested in the IDP camps immediately after the military defeat of the LTTE have been killed after severe torturing in the prisons in the southern Sri Lanka.
The news report further said: ‘Over one hundred odd LTTE men have been silently and systematically wiped out by the government death squads’ said one source. The sources said LTTE’s Balakumar (former EROS head), Yogaratnam Yogi, Karikalan and Pulavar Puthuvai were some of those being killed. They were arrested in the IDP camps and taken to Colombo for interrogation.
‘The government is maintaining dumbfounded silence about their arrests and whereabouts and only revealing the situation faced by Thaya Master and Suba Thamilchelvan’s interpreter George to sidetrack the massacre’ said another source anonymously.
The sources further said that the government failed to report the arrests and whereabouts of the LTTE men to the ICRC.
