The Government has announced an amnesty for Tiger cadres trapped in Eastern jungles who lay down their weapons and surrender to the Security Forces. This amnesty will come into effect from September 1, 2007. Those who surrender will be rehabilitated and given vocational training.
Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake addressing a public meeting in Horana on Saturday (11) urged the Tiger cadres to take up the offer, saying their safety would be guaranteed.
He said the few Tigers left in various
Eastern pockets could not hope to stay forever in hiding and attack the
Security Forces, who are consolidating their positions in the province.
The Forces will continue to track them down. It would be a far better
option for them to surrender to the Forces, than risk their lives by
confronting the latter.
