I don't know how accurate the figures are in this article, but I have heard that the only way the Jaffna Human Rights Commission can safeguard those who claim their lives are in danger are to put them in prison ! There's simply no safer place for them, and the danger is real. Clearly the threat from the LTTE is not going to go away soon. In addition to the question the writer poses, we must ask ourselves whether, especially in the East, in liberating these peoples from the terror of the LTTE, we have only delivered to them the terror of Karuna. From the pot to the frying pan? Given that the last time I checked Sri Lanka still claimed to be a democracy, I find it incredible that people just dissapear like this.
