Release Jaffna university students without conditions. Resolution passed at Karaitheevu divisional council.

Monday , 31 December 2012

Government should take action to release the detained four Jaffna university students without conditions and curtail the continuous arrest executing in Jaffna.

A motion appealing the government was implemented unanimously at the Karaitheevu divisional council located in the Amparai District.

Karaitheevu Divisional council monthly meeting was held at the council hall headed by Sellaiah Rasaiya.

A motion regarding this resolution was proposed by Sellaiah Rasiaya at the meeting and it was implemented unanimously.

Chairman Rasaiya further said, the incident occurred at Jaffna university recently is much mournful. Amidst military suppressions, the difficulties faced by the northern people are an act to diminish the reconciliation activities in the country.

Jaffna University students according to their democratic rights carried out the activities, was intruded illegally by the military and brutally assaulted incident are to be strongly condemned.

At the same time the four students arrested are still detained. Their release is a question mark. In the blanket of rehabilitation, detaining the students is against the law which is regrettable.

Hence the detained students without any conditions should be released for which we urge the government.

Meanwhile military persecution in the north and arrest should be impeded and there should be an end to the panic situation which is faced by the people for which government should take necessary action.

Government which claims that peace and civil administration is prevailing, but the minority community under the government rule, is experiencing all the difficulties.

There should be redress to all these, and the government should reveal reconciliation activities to the minority people.
