Udumbankulam und Thankavelayuthapuram liegen in der N\u00e4he des Gebiets Thirukovil im Bezirk Amparai. Am 19.02.1986, in den fr\u00fchen Morgenstunden, kamen 85 Soldaten der sri-lankischen Armee aus dem Milit\u00e4rlager Amparai in sechs Milit\u00e4rfahrzeugen in den D\u00f6rfern Thankavelayuthapuram und Udumbankulam an. Einige der Soldaten trugen Tarnuniformen, andere blaue Uniformen. Sie gingen in die Reisfelder, wo Hunderte von armen Bauern mit der Ernte besch\u00e4ftigt waren. Sie trugen Waffen bei sich. Sie trieben 103 Menschen auf den Feldern zusammen und brachten sie in den nahe gelegenen Wald. Dort vergewaltigten sie die Frauen, schnitten ihnen die Br\u00fcste ab und t\u00f6teten sie. Andere wurden aufgereiht und erschossen. Insgesamt wurden 103 Menschen get\u00f6tet, darunter viele Kinder. Die Soldaten streuten Heu \u00fcber die Leichen und z\u00fcndeten es an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frau TK, die Opfer einer Vergewaltigung und Augenzeugin des Massakers auf den Reisfeldern von Udumbankulam war, erz\u00e4hlte ihre Geschichte:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In der Nacht trieb die Armee, die aus dem Lager Kondavedduvan kam, alle Menschen zusammen, die auf dem Reisfeld arbeiteten. Dann begannen sie die M\u00e4nner zu erschie\u00dfen. Sie vergewaltigten f\u00fcnf von uns. Wir flehten die Soldaten an, uns nichts anzutun. Aber sie vergewaltigten uns alle, in einer Reihe auf dem Reisfeld. Da wir den Schmerz nicht ertragen konnten, verloren wir allm\u00e4hlich das Bewusstsein.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Nach etwa einer Stunde erholten wir uns und liefen in eine H\u00f6hle eines Berges. Von dort aus sahen wir, wie die Soldaten alle Leichen mit Reiss\u00e4cken und getrocknetem Gras bedeckten und in Brand setzten. 
Nach zwei Tagen kamen der Vorsitzende des B\u00fcrgerkomitees von Akaraipattu, Herr Ahamad Lebbai, der Generalsekret\u00e4r, S. T. Moorthy, der stellvertretende Vorsitzende, Pater Philip, und der Vorsitzende des B\u00fcrgerkomitees von Batticaloa, Pater Chandra Fernando, in Begleitung von Pressereportern zu dem Reisfeld. Die Luft in diesem Gebiet war von einem widerlichen Geruch verwesender Leichen erf\u00fcllt, und sie sahen halb verbrannte Leichen. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Sie fanden heraus, dass 66 Menschen massakriert worden waren. Sie machten Fotos von allen Leichen. Sie nahmen auch unsere Aussagen auf. Sogar der Parlamentsabgeordnete von Kalawana, Sarath Muthugama, sprach im Parlament \u00fcber dieses Massaker. All diese Bem\u00fchungen waren vergeblich. Es gibt hier keine Gerechtigkeit. Weder die Familienangeh\u00f6rigen der Opfer noch wir, die von den Soldaten vergewaltigt wurden, erhielten eine Entsch\u00e4digung.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Udumbankulam and Thankavelayuthapuram are situated near the Thirukovil area in the Amparai district. On 19.02.1986, early in the morning, 85 Sri Lankan military personnel from the Amparai military camp arrived in six military vehicles in Thankavelayuthapuram and Udumbankulam villages. Some of the military were in camouflage uniform and others in blue uniform. They went into the paddy fields where hundreds of poor farmers were busy with harvesting work. They were carrying weapons. They rounded up 103 people in the fields and took them to the forest nearby. There they raped and cut the breasts off from the women and killed them. Others were lined up and shot dead. In total 103 people were killed including many children. The military spread the harvested hay over the bodies and set fire to it. Ms. TK, who was a victim of rape and eye witness to the massacres that took place in the paddy fields of Udumbankulam, related her story: \u201cOn the night, the Army which came from Kondavedduvan camp rounded up all the people working in the paddy field. Then they started shooting the men. They raped five of us. We pleaded with the soldiers not to do anything to us. But they all raped us, in line in the paddy field itself. As we couldn’t bear-up the pain, gradually we lost consciousness. After an hour or so we recovered and ran into a cave of a mountain. From there we saw the soldiers covering all the bodies with paddy sacks and dried grass and setting fire to those bodies. After two days Akaraipattu Citizen Committee President Mr. Ahamad Lebbai, General Secretary, S. T. Moorthy, Deputy President, Rev. Fr. Philip, and Batticaloa Citizen committee President, Rev. Chandra Fernando, accompanied by press reporters came to the paddy field. The air in that area was laden with repulsive smell of decomposing bodies and they saw bodies half burnt.  They found that there were 66 people massacred. They took photographs of all the bodies. They recorded our statements as well. Even Kalawana Member of Parliament, Sarath Muthugama, spoke about this massacre in the parliament. All those efforts were of no avail. There is no justice here. No compensation was paid either to members of the family of the victims or to us who were raped by the soldiers.\u201d Available names:  Rasaiya Theventhiran Ramasamy Kanthaiya N.Gopalakrishnan N.Vinayakamoorthy K.Baackiyarasa Kathiresapillai Vairamuthu Kumaravel Nagarasa Ganesamoorthy Perinpan Ganesapillai Mohanarasa Ganapathi Vadivel Pathmanathan Mailan Thiyakarasa Tharman Thasappu Sebamalai Thasappu Sellaiya Thurai Ramalingam Thambipillai Kumaravel Mayilvakanam Thiyakarasa Markandu Raveenthiran Muthupodi Sumanavathi Muthusamy Muthulingam Masanna Jeyaraj A.Nallathamby A.Somasuntharam Ponnan Rasathurai Ponnambalam Yogarasa Somasuntharam Karunanithi Venkiddan Kuzhanthai Gnanamuthu Puvaneenthiran Suntharam Sinnavan Seenithambi Seenithambi Thavanathan Seenithambi Arulselvam Selvasrar Innachi Swami Devid Vairamuthu Suntharalingam Varnakulasingam Punniyamoorthy Visvakethu Rasa Rangan Paul Sources: 1986: “Massacre of Tamils 1956 – 2008”, NESOHR (2010), pp. 32 – 34<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_view_id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[117],"tags":[207,206],"class_list":["post-1218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-30sec2remember","tag-19-02-1986","tag-udumbankulam-massacre"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1218"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2303,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218\/revisions\/2303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
