EPRLF
complains to Amnesty International
[July
17, 2003 - 10.30 GMT]
In a letter to Amnesty
International (IA) the Eelam People's Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF)
noted that the most ‘alarming development in the last 16 months is the
systematic campaign of political assassinations initiated by the LTTE’.
The EPRLF acknowledges
that since the signing of the Ceasefire Agreement (CFA) February last year,
there has been no large-scale armed confrontation between the LTTE and the
Sri Lankan security forces, but laments the “large number of serious
incidents between the Sri Lankan navy and the ‘Sea Tigers’”.
“The LTTE has put into
operation a well-planned campaign to physically eliminate elected officials,
political organizers and even lapsed members of all Tamil political parties
who have eschewed the terrorism of the LTTE and entered the democratic
process”, the EPRLF states.
The
EPRLF in its letter has requested all international human rights
organizations such as the Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and
others to “strongly and unequivocally condemn the present campaign of
terror orchestrated by the LTTE” and demand that the LTTE respects the
human and democratic rights of all the people in Sri Lanka.
