Reporter ohne Grenzen verurteilte heute die Ermordung von Subramaniyam Sugirdharajan, einem Korrespondenten der tamilischsprachigen Tageszeitung Sudar Oli in der \u00f6stlichen Stadt Trincomalee, der heute fr\u00fch erschossen wurde, nachdem er \u00fcber die \u00dcbergriffe tamilischer paramilit\u00e4rischer Gruppen in seiner Region geschrieben hatte
Wir sind entsetzt \u00fcber das Ausma\u00df der Gewalt gegen tamilische Journalisten und fordern Premierminister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake auf, alles zu tun, um sicherzustellen, dass die Polizei die M\u00f6rder von Sugirdharajann sowie die M\u00f6rder von Relangi Sevaraja und Dharmeratnam Sivaram, die immer noch auf freiem Fu\u00df sind, identifiziert und festnimmt.
Sugirdharajan ist der dritte tamilische Journalist, der in den letzten 12 Monaten get\u00f6tet wurde. Zehn weitere wurden von den Sicherheitskr\u00e4ften oder den bewaffneten tamilischen Bewegungen verhaftet, k\u00f6rperlich angegriffen oder bedroht.
Sugirdharajan, 35 Jahre alt und Vater zweier kleiner Kinder, war Hafenangestellter in Trincomalee und Journalist. Er wurde gegen 6 Uhr morgens erschossen, als er auf ein \u00f6ffentliches Verkehrsmittel wartete, um zur Arbeit zu fahren. Seine M\u00f6rder entkamen mit einem Motorrad, nachdem sie ihn erschossen hatten. Nach Angaben der Website Tamilnet wurde er in der N\u00e4he des Sekretariats des Gouverneurs erschossen
In einem Artikel f\u00fcr die gestrige Ausgabe von Sudar Oli beschrieb er die \u00dcbergriffe tamilischer paramilit\u00e4rischer Gruppen, einschlie\u00dflich der EPDP, in der Region Trincomalee Die Zeitung ver\u00f6ffentlichte k\u00fcrzlich auch Fotos von Sugirdharajan, die zeigen, dass f\u00fcnf Studenten aus Trincomalee am 2. Januar aus n\u00e4chster N\u00e4he erschossen wurden, was die Behauptung der Armee widerlegt, sie seien durch eine Granatenexplosion get\u00f6tet worden
Sudar Oli, die dazu neigt, die Tamilischen Tiger (LTTE) zu unterst\u00fctzen, wurde im vergangenen Jahr mehrfach angegriffen und bedroht. Am 20. August wurden zwei Granaten auf das B\u00fcro der Anzeigenabteilung geworfen, die jedoch nicht explodierten. Drei Tage sp\u00e4ter wurde ein angestellter Journalist von der Polizei zusammengeschlagen und festgenommen, weil er verd\u00e4chtigt wurde, ein LTTE-Spion zu sein. Am 29. August wurde ein Sicherheitsbeamter, David Selvaratnum, bei einem Granatenangriff vor dem B\u00fcro der Zeitung in Colombo get\u00f6tet. Sudar Oli geh\u00f6rt zu der in Jaffna ans\u00e4ssigen Pressegruppe Uthayan, die ebenfalls Ziel von Angriffen war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
