Unlawful raid by STF on prison claims lives of 30 prisoners ; 40 escape with weapons
(Lanka-e-News -10.Nov.2012, 11.30PM) The prison official have confirmed that so far 30 prisoners have died following the attack by the STF soldiers who raided the Welikade prison yesterday (09). Some more bodies of prisoners are still within the prison. 11 prisoners are hospitalized with very serious injuries. Meanwhile , 40 prisoners have escaped with the weapons they have wrested from the STF soldiers , according to prison officials.
In order to hide the fact that weapons were wrested by the prisoners from the STF soldiers, it is learnt that the STF soldiers who lost them are concealing the list of weapons taken for the raid reported by Lanka e news earlier.
Nowhere in the world in any country armed personnel can enter the place where there are unarmed prisoners, and according to our Prison regulations such an action is absolutely unlawful. It is still worse when a Prison is entered without court permission for searching prisoners in custody on court order. The prison officials are seriously questioning , who is the murderous buffoon that gave these illegal orders to conduct a search not only on the prisoners but also on the prison officers? A large number of remand prisoners , only suspects whose cases are still pending and not convicted have been killed in this illegal intrusion.
It is interesting to note that before the very gaze of the prisoners , the prison officers had been searched with such rigor that not only their clothes , but even their socks and shoes had been examined for heroin. According to a prison official , when a prison officer resisted this , he was assaulted , whereupon a prisoner had spoken in favor of the prison officer . It is when this prisoner was shot in cold blood , the mini battle within the prison had erupted.
This brutal killing of prisoners by those raiding the prison had become a matter of routine sport and play for this MaRa regime. The prisoners wresting the weapons and reacting against these killers was witnessed yesterday.
What happened within the prison can occur on the main highway tomorrow , analysts predict.
