Ein Menschenrechtsaktivist einer linksgerichteten politischen Gruppe sagte, dass er mit anderen Mitgliedern der Gruppe kurz nach dem November 1984 nach Kent und Dollar Farms gefahren sei. Die \u00dcberlebenden hatten ihnen erz\u00e4hlt, dass die Ansiedlung von Gefangenen dazu benutzt wurde, Tamilen weiter zu schikanieren, damit sie das Gebiet verlassen. Sie erfuhren, dass junge tamilische Frauen entf\u00fchrt, dorthin gebracht und in Gruppen vergewaltigt wurden, zun\u00e4chst von den Streitkr\u00e4ften, dann von Gef\u00e4ngnisw\u00e4rtern und schlie\u00dflich von Gefangenen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Im Dezember 1984 wurde auf der Sitzung des Sicherheitsrates ein Bericht \u00fcber die Sicherheit der Grenzsiedlungen er\u00f6rtert. Der Bericht war von den Rechtsanw\u00e4lten S.L. Gunasekera und Davinda Senanayake ausgearbeitet und Brigadier Dennis Hapugalle, dem Chef der srilankischen Streitkr\u00e4fte, vorgelegt worden. Der Anwalt S.L. Gunasekara beschuldigt die Beh\u00f6rden, Singhalesen ohne Waffentraining dort anzusiedeln, was seine Gruppe in Maduru Oya geplant hatte. Nat\u00fcrlich war die Armee dort pr\u00e4sent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Er entlastet Ravi Jayewardene von der Schuld an dem Fiasko auf den Kent- und Dollar-Farmen, indem er behauptet, er sei \u201ezuf\u00e4llig anwesend\u201c gewesen. Im Gegenteil, es gibt gute Gr\u00fcnde f\u00fcr die Annahme, dass er als Sicherheitsberater des Pr\u00e4sidenten regelm\u00e4\u00dfig an den Sitzungen des Sicherheitsrates teilnahm. Er hatte bereits die Presidential Security Division (PSD) und die Special Task Force (STF) ins Leben gerufen - letztere mit Hilfe ehemaliger britischer SAS-S\u00f6ldner, die von der auf den Kanalinseln ans\u00e4ssigen Firma Keeny Meeny Services gestellt wurden. Der Einsatz der STF begann Ende 1984. Es war klar, dass Pr\u00e4sident Jayewardene seinem Sohn eine gro\u00dfe Rolle in Sicherheitsfragen zugestanden hatte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durch die Bewaffnung der singhalesischen Dorfbewohner in den Grenzgebieten wurde eine Situation geschaffen, in der sie zwangsl\u00e4ufig in den Konflikt hineingezogen wurden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am 15.12.1984 drang das srilankische Milit\u00e4r in die D\u00f6rfer Kokkilai, Kokkuthoduvai, Karunaddukerni, Nayaru, Kumulamunai und Alampil im Bezirk Mullaithivu ein. Das Milit\u00e4r t\u00f6tete viele Eelamtamilen und zerst\u00f6rte ihr Eigentum. 131 Eelamtamilen wurden get\u00f6tet, darunter 31 Frauen und 21 Kinder. Mehr als 2000 Familien wurden infolge dieser Operation vertrieben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schlie\u00dflich wurden insgesamt etwa 2.700 tamilische Familien in diesem Gebiet vertrieben, darunter auch die aus Thennamaravady, dem n\u00f6rdlichsten Dorf im Bezirk Thirukonamalai. Letzteres steht jetzt leer. Ihr ehemaliger Parlamentsabgeordneter, Herr R. Sampanthan, sagte: \u201eEin wundersch\u00f6nes Dorf und so wunderbare Menschen\u201c. Sie alle wurden zu Fl\u00fcchtlingen gemacht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sp\u00e4ter wurde das Leben der Tamilen vollst\u00e4ndig militarisiert. Ein alter Mann dr\u00fcckte es so aus: \u201eSogar zum Pissen brauchen wir eine Erlaubnis von der Armee\u201c. Kinder, die zur Schule gehen, so hei\u00dft es, schauen nicht auf die Tafel, sondern suchen im Dschungel nach Zeichen der Gefahr - so wie die Kinder in Yaalppanam den Himmel nach Bombern absuchten. Das ist aber nur die Oberfl\u00e4che.  <\/p>\n\n\n

An human rights activist in a leftwing political group said that he with others from the group had gone to Kent and Dollar Farms just after the November 1984. The survivors had told them that the settlement of prisoners was\u00a0being used to further harass Tamils into leaving the area. They were told that young Tamil women were abducted, brought there and gang-raped, first by the forces, next by prison gaurds and finally by prisoners. In December 1984, at the Security Council meeting where a report apparently on the security of border village settlements was discussed. The report had been prepared by the lawyer S.L. Gunasekera and Davinda Senanayake and submitted to Brigadier Dennis Hapugalle, Chief of Srilankan  Defence. Lawyer S.L.Gunasekara blames the authorities for settling Sinhalese there without weapons training which his group had planned to do at Maduru Oya. There was of course an Army presence. He exonerates Ravi Jayewardene from blame for the fiasco at Kent and Dollar Farms by suggesting that he \u2018happened to be present\u2019. On the contrary, there is good reason to believe that he was regularly attending Security Council sessions as the President\u2019s security advisor. He had already set up the Presidential Security Division (PSD) and the Special Task Force (STF) \u2013 the latter with the help of ex-British SAS mercenaries provided by the Channel Islands- based Keeny Meeny Services. The deployment of the STF commenced in late 1984. It was clear that President Jayewardene had given his son a big role in security matters. by arming Sinhalese villagers in border areas, a situation was being created where they were bound to get sucked into the conflict. On 15.12.1984, Sri Lankan military entered the villages of Kokkilai, Kokkuthoduvai, Karunaddukerni, Nayaru, Kumulamunai, and Alampil in the Mullaithivu district. The military killed many Eelamtamils and destroyed their property. 131 Eelamtamils were killed including 31 women and 21 children. More than 2000 families were displaced following this operation. Eventually a total of about 2,700 Tamil families in that area came to be displaced, including those from Thennamaravady, the northern-most village in the Thirukonamalai District. The latter stands empty now. Their former MP, Mr. R. Sampanthan reflected, \u2018A beautiful village and such wonderful people\u2019. All of them were rendered refugees. Later; The life of Tamils was completely militarised. An old man put it, \u201ceven to piss, we have to get permission from the Army.\u201d Children who go to school, it is said, do not look at the black board, but look at the jungle for signs of danger \u2013 as children in Yaalppanam used to look at the sky for bombers. This much is just the surface.  <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_view_id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[364,549,368,575,576,512,578,577],"class_list":["post-3600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","tag-30sec2remember-2","tag-archives","tag-genocide-2","tag-kokkilai","tag-kokkuthoduvai","tag-mullaithivu","tag-stf","tag-thennamaravadi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3600","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=3600"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3600\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3611,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3600\/revisions\/3611"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
