these [edited out] and now we have 3 less terrorists on this planet.
sad as it is the people around them are also suspected. hence the detention.
you dont need to be Einsten to understand that.
i am sure the authorities will eventually release them unlike they do in most countries including the west and india.
guantanomo bay comes to mind where people suspected of terrorism were rendered and detained without trial or access to legal representation for over 10 years, and this is by the USA the champions of HUMAN RIGHTS>

Good that this is getting publicity. I am sure all Sri Lankans (supporters of the regime and chauvinists aside) will agree that if these individuals are harmed whilst in custody then those members of the security forces who are responsible should face the full force of the law …. If not under today’s regime once law and order in Sri Lanka is restored and impunity ended.

On a related note, has anyone seen this video documentary by The Social Architects South Asia?

“Haunted by her yesterdays” produced by The Social Architects South Asia

This documentary tells a story of silent agony, trapped screams and repressed mourning. A story of women forced to deny their identity — who are trapped in between a government which sees them as “Tigers,” and a society whose norms they are no longer deemed worthy of.
