Othiyamalai ist ein abgelegenes Dorf an der Grenze zum Distrikt Mullaithivu. Mehr oder weniger die gesamte Bev\u00f6lkerung arbeitete auf ihren eigenen Reisfeldern und hatte gen\u00fcgend landwirtschaftliche Erzeugnisse, um davon zu leben. Allerdings siedelten sich singhalesische Siedler in Ken Farm und Dollar Farm an und verdr\u00e4ngten die Tamilen aus dem Hinterland, die aufgrund ethnischer Gewalt bereits aus dem Hinterland vertrieben worden waren. Vom 29. November 1984 bis zum 2. Dezember 1984 verh\u00e4ngte die SLAF eine Ausgangssperre. Am 1. Dezember 1984 r\u00fcckte ein Regiment der SLAF von Pathaviya nach Othiyamalai vor. Die SLAF trieb die Bev\u00f6lkerung des Dorfes Othiyamalai zusammen. Als die Dorfbewohner an diesem Tag um 5 Uhr morgens ihre T\u00fcren \u00f6ffneten, sahen sie die sri-lankischen Soldaten in gr\u00fcner Uniform stehen. Die Soldaten sprachen flie\u00dfend Tamil und forderten alle M\u00e4nner des Dorfes auf, zum Geb\u00e4ude der von der LTTE verwalteten Entwicklungsgesellschaft zu kommen und den Kampf der LTTE zu unterst\u00fctzen. Get\u00e4uscht durch die Vorw\u00e4nde der Soldaten der sri-lankischen Armee, gingen 32 M\u00e4nner dorthin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sithambarapillai Sagunthararasa, auch bekannt als Rasa, verlor seinen Vater und f\u00fcnf Onkel beim Massaker von Othiyamalai Nedunkerni. Seine Schilderung lautet wie folgt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eAm 2. Dezember 1984 wurden hier 32 Menschen massakriert. Mein Vater und f\u00fcnf meiner Onkel wurden get\u00f6tet. Gegen 5:00 oder 5:30 Uhr morgens kam die SLA in unser Dorf. Wir waren damals noch kleine Kinder. Wir wissen nur, was uns erz\u00e4hlt wurde, wir erinnern uns nicht mehr an viel. Mein Vater h\u00f6rte Radio. Erst als sie ihn festnahmen, wurde uns klar, dass es sich um die SLA handelte. Sie nahmen unseren Onkel in unserem Haus fest. Vor unseren Augen rissen sie ihm das Hemd vom Leib und fesselten ihm die H\u00e4nde. So gingen die SLA zu zweit oder zu dritt von Haus zu Haus und nahmen jeden Familienvorstand fest. Auf der Puthukkudiyiruppu Road sahen sie einen Traktor. Sie beschlagnahmten den Traktor und setzten alle, die sie mitgenommen hatten, auf diesen Traktor. Sie fesselten allen die H\u00e4nde und verbanden ihnen die Augen. Sie erschossen alle, w\u00e4hrend die M\u00e4nner gefesselt blieben. Die Dorfbewohner, die das beobachtet hatten, erz\u00e4hlten uns, dass sie f\u00fcnf Menschen, alle \u00fcber f\u00fcnfzig Jahre alt, auf die Ladefl\u00e4che des Traktors gesetzt hatten. Sie nahmen die Seitent\u00fcren des Traktors ab, legten sie auf die f\u00fcnf alten M\u00e4nner und die Soldaten stellten sich dann auf die M\u00e4nner, sangen und tanzten, w\u00e4hrend sie davonfuhren.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is a remote village on the border of Mullaithivu district. More or less the entire population worked in their own paddy fields and they had ample farming produce to live by. However, Sinhalese settlers were settling in Ken Farm and Dollar Farm and displacing the Upcountry Tamils in these places who had already been displaced from the Upcountry as a result of ethnic violence. From 29th November 1984 until 2nd December 1984 the SLAFs declared a curfew. A SLAFs regiment moved from Pathaviya to Othiyamalai on 1st December 1984. The SLAFs rounded up the people of Othiyamalai village. When the villagers opened their door at 5.00 am on that day, they saw the Sri Lankan soldiers standing in green attire. The soldiers spoke fluent Tamil and asked for all the men in the village to come to the Development Society building managed by the LTTE, and demanded that they assist the struggle waged by the LTTE. Deceived by the pretension of the Sri Lankan army soldiers 32 men went. Sithambarapillai Sagunthararasa otherwise known as Rasa lost his father and five uncles in the Othiyamalai Nedunkerni Massacre. His account is as follows: \u201cOn 2nd December 1984, 32 people were massacred here. My father and five of my uncles were killed. Around 5:00 or 5:30 in the morning, the SLA came to our village. We were small children then. We only know what people told us, we don’t remember much. My father was listening to the radio. It was only when they caught him that we realized they were the SLA. They caught our uncle at our house. They tore up his shirt in front of us and tied his hands. Like this, the SLA went in twos and threes to every house and caught each family head. On Puthukkudiyiruppu Road, they saw a tractor. They took hold of the tractor and put everyone they had brought on this tractor. They tied up everyone\u2019s hands and eyes. They shot everyone whilst the men remained still tied. The watching villagers told us, that they put five people, all of them over fifty years old in the back of a tractor. They took off the side doors of the tractor, placed them on top of the five old men and the soldiers then stood on top of the men singing and dancing as they drove away.\u201d Available names of victims (name, age): 1.
