W\u00e4hrend dieses Massakers bombardierten auch Hubschrauber der srilankischen Luftwaffe das Dorf. Das Milit\u00e4r drang in die Vaddakandal Government Tamil Mixed School ein und griff den Direktor, die Lehrer und die Sch\u00fcler an. Achtzehn Menschen wurden in der Schule get\u00f6tet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die SLA aus dem Thalladi Army Camp umzingelte die folgenden drei D\u00f6rfer: Palaperuman Kattu, Vaddakandal und Parapankandal. Gegen 1.00 Uhr morgens h\u00f6rten wir Fahrzeugl\u00e4rm. Wir hatten keine Ahnung, dass sie kommen w\u00fcrden oder was sie tun w\u00fcrden. Um etwa 5 Uhr morgens h\u00f6rten wir Sch\u00fcsse aus allen Richtungen. Die Menschen wachten auf und rannten \u00fcberall hin. Ein Hubschrauber war in der Luft und begann zu feuern.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"846\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memory-846x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memory-846x1024.jpg 846w, https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memory-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memory-768x930.jpg 768w, https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memory-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memory.jpg 863w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 846px) 100vw, 846px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sie k\u00fcmmerten sich nicht um das Alter eines Menschen. Ob jung oder alt - sie alle wurden an diesem Tag erschossen und get\u00f6tet. Sie gingen in die Reisfelder und hoben die Menschen mit beiden H\u00e4nden auf, hielten sie hoch und erschossen sie vor den Augen der anderen. Das war das erste Mal, dass wir so etwas gesehen haben. 35 Menschen wurden auf den Feldern und 15 Menschen in der Stadt erschossen. In der Schule lernten etwa 250 Kinder. Sie zerrten den Direktor und alle Lehrer heraus, folterten und erschossen sie vor den Augen der Dorfbewohner. Alle wurden aufgefordert, sich in einer Reihe aufzustellen - dann wurden sie erschossen. Ein paar Leute konnten entkommen. Ich war einer von ihnen. 18 Menschen wurden dort erschossen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neben diesem Dorf befand sich ein muslimisches Dorf - aber ihnen passierte nichts. Drei Tage sp\u00e4ter fanden in jedem Haus Beerdigungen statt. Die Armee kehrte zur\u00fcck und umstellte den Wald. Zu dieser Zeit hatten wir keine Verbindung zur LTTE. Sie m\u00f6gen dort gewesen sein, aber wir wussten nicht, wo sie waren. Die SLA kam danach immer wieder zur\u00fcck und qu\u00e4lte alle Dorfbewohner, die in st\u00e4ndiger Angst leben mussten.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ponnar Ponnappan, Fisherman 30, &nbsp;Santhan Thombaimiyes, Farmer 28,&nbsp; Savariyan Alponsparula, Farmer 25, &nbsp;Madaiyappan Pandiyappan, Farmer 24, &nbsp;Muththannathevar Nadarasa&nbsp; 39, &nbsp;Murukesu Thambappillai&nbsp; 55, Rasu Selvarasa, Driver 30, &nbsp;Kannikkavundar Suntharalinkam, Farmer 23, Karuppaiya Jeyaratnam 25,&nbsp; Piransi Kaiththan, Farmer 27, Piransi Saminathan, Farmer 37, Thirumal Ramachchanderan 26, &nbsp;Manaval Victor, Salesman 45, &nbsp;Alexsandar Parnanthu 72, &nbsp;Arunasalam Suntharamoorththi 45, Sebamalai Pernando, Business 21,&nbsp; Sellaiya Ramasami, Farmer 35, Vellaichchami Muththurasa, Farmer 20, &nbsp;Sellaiya Ramasami 30,&nbsp; Venkadasalam Thevaraj, Farmer 34, Vellaichchami Muththurasa 35, &nbsp;Ganappirakasam Sebmalai, Farmer 22, &nbsp;Santhiyeku Anthoni, Farmer, Suppan Palani 42, &nbsp;Suppiramaniyam Sanmukanathan, Labourer 33, Sinnaya Seruvarajan, Labourer 33, Srikori Radnathurai 32,&nbsp; Raman Thankarasa 56, Ramasami Atputharasa 19,&nbsp; Ramasami Selvarasa 22, Raman Thankarasa, Farmer 35, &nbsp;Ramachchandiran Theyvenduran, Farmer 18, Ramasami Selvarasa, Farmer 27, Piransi Saminathan, Farmer 36, &nbsp;Muththusami Saththiyaseelan, Farmer 42.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2<\/strong>. <strong>Bombenanschlag auf die Kreuzung Puthukkudiyiruppu<\/strong> &#8211; <strong>30.01.1991<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Am 30.01.1991, um 17.30 Uhr, warfen Bomber der srilankischen Luftwaffe Bomben in der N\u00e4he der Kreuzung Puthukkudiyiruppu ab. 20 Leichen wurden aus dem Gebiet geborgen. 50 Menschen wurden mit Verletzungen in ein Krankenhaus gebracht.

Vaddakandal massacre &#8211; 30.01.1985 On 30.01.1985, around 5.00am , 200 Sri Lankan military men stationed in the Thalladi military camp came out and moved into the Vaddakandal village through Mathawachchi road and along the Kaddukarai Lake. At 6.30 am they entered the homes of the villagers and began shooting and stabbing people. During this massacre the Sri Lankan Air Force helicopters also strafed the village. The military entered the Vaddakandal Government Tamil Mixed School and attacked the principal, teachers and students. Eighteen people were killed in the school. The SLA from Thalladi Army Camp surrounded the following 3 villages, Palaperuman Kattu and Vaddakandal and Parapankandal. Around 1.00am, we heard vehicle noise. We had no idea they were coming or what they would do. At about 5am in the morning \u2013 we heard gun fire from all directions. People woke up and started running everywhere. There was a helicopter in the air which started firing. They did not worry about a person\u2019s age. Young or old \u2013 they were all shot and killed that day. They went into the paddy fields and picked up people with both hands, held them up and shot them for others to see. This is the first time we saw this happen. 35 people were shot in the fields, 15 people were shot in town. At the school there were about 250 children studying. They dragged the principle and all the teachers out, tortured and shot them in front of the villagers. They were all asked to stand in a line \u2013 when they were shot. A few people escaped. I was one of them. 18 people were shot there. Beside this village there was a Muslim village \u2013 but nothing happened to them. Three days later, there were funerals happening in every house. The army returned and surrounded the forest. At that time we did not have any associations with the LTTE. They may have been there, but we did not know where they were. The SLA kept coming back after that and tormented all the villagers who had to live in constant fear.\u201d Ponnar Ponnappan, Fisherman 30, &nbsp;Santhan Thombaimiyes, Farmer 28,&nbsp; Savariyan Alponsparula, Farmer 25, &nbsp;Madaiyappan Pandiyappan, Farmer 24, &nbsp;Muththannathevar Nadarasa&nbsp; 39, &nbsp;Murukesu Thambappillai&nbsp; 55, Rasu Selvarasa, Driver 30, &nbsp;Kannikkavundar Suntharalinkam, Farmer 23, Karuppaiya Jeyaratnam 25,&nbsp; Piransi Kaiththan, Farmer 27, Piransi Saminathan, Farmer 37, Thirumal Ramachchanderan 26, &nbsp;Manaval Victor, Salesman 45, &nbsp;Alexsandar Parnanthu 72, &nbsp;Arunasalam Suntharamoorththi 45, Sebamalai Pernando, Business 21,&nbsp; Sellaiya Ramasami, Farmer 35, Vellaichchami Muththurasa, Farmer 20, &nbsp;Sellaiya Ramasami 30,&nbsp; Venkadasalam Thevaraj, Farmer 34, Vellaichchami Muththurasa 35, &nbsp;Ganappirakasam Sebmalai, Farmer 22, &nbsp;Santhiyeku Anthoni, Farmer, Suppan Palani 42, &nbsp;Suppiramaniyam Sanmukanathan, Labourer 33, Sinnaya Seruvarajan, Labourer 33, Srikori Radnathurai 32,&nbsp; Raman Thankarasa 56, Ramasami Atputharasa 19,&nbsp; Ramasami Selvarasa 22, Raman Thankarasa, Farmer 35, &nbsp;Ramachchandiran Theyvenduran, Farmer 18, Ramasami Selvarasa, Farmer 27, Piransi Saminathan, Farmer 36, &nbsp;Muththusami Saththiyaseelan, Farmer 42. 2. Puthukkudiyiruppu junction bombing &#8211; 30.01.1991 On 30.01.1991, at 5.30 pm, Sri Lankan Air Force bombers dropped bombs around the Puthukkudiyiruppu junction. 20 bodies were recovered from the area. 50 people were taken to the hospital with injuries. Because the daylight was ending not all bodies could be recovered the same night. Seriously injured Eelamtamils were sent to the Yaalppanam hospital the same night. However, three of the injured died on the way to the Jaffna hospital. Five more bodies were recovered the next day. In total 28 people were killed in the bombing. 8 of those killed were displaced people. One of the full term mothers who jumped into a bunker to escape the bombing gave birth to a baby with damaged vertebra and is unable to walk.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3678,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_view_id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[613,612,596,424,610,611,609],"class_list":["post-3673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","tag-1985-1991-30sec2remember","tag-airforce","tag-january-2","tag-massacre-2","tag-puthukkudiyiruppu-2","tag-thalladi","tag-vaddakandal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3673","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=3673"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3673\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3679,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3673\/revisions\/3679"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3678"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/30sec2remember.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
