SL military orders civil officials to supply residential information of Jaffna University students
[TamilNet, Friday, 11 January 2013, 23:06 GMT]
As an overwhelming majority of Jaffna University students, demanding release of the detained student leaders, are still boycotting classes despite SL military intimidation on University administration and the teachers to resume the classes, the officers of the occupying military stationed across Jaffna have instructed the Divisional Secretaries to gather residential details of Jaffna University students through Village (GS) Officers, civil sources in Jaffna said. There are also reports that the SL military was summoning students to nearby military camps and instructing them to attend the classes. Several students in Vadamaraadchi East have been taken to SL military camps and threatened against staying in their homes.
“You will soon realize the amount of power given to the military,” was the message of the SL Army officers, who attacked the students of the peaceful protest on 28 November, said Tamil National Alliance (TNA) parliamentarian Mr E. Saravanabhvan, who witnessed the attack on that day.
Since then, the SL military commander in Jaffna Maj Gen Hathurusinghe was dealing with the University administration. At least two meetings were held by him at Palaali military base with the Vice Chancellor, deans and heads of departments.
A delegation from the University of Jaffna that visited the detained students at Welikande later met the SL Defence Secretary and presidential sibling Gotabhaya Rajapaksa who told the delegation to resume the classes. Following that, the SL military commander in Jaffna also summoned the deans and heads of department to pass the same message.
In the meantime, at least 48 incidents of abduction-styled arrests have taken place in the peninsula targeting former LTTE members and students.

Minister Wimal Weerawansa reveals of another LTTE conspiracy to destabilize the country
JANUARY 9, 2013
Minister Wimal Weerawansa has said that attempts made to destabilize the country creating a rift between the Judiciary and the Legislature is another aspect of the LTTE opinion. He made this clarification joining in the Seventh Hour Programme telecast by ITN.
The Minister said that the Chief Justice had published certain articles on devolution of power. She has also published articles on devolution of power in Pakiyasothy Saravanamuttu’s Ground Views website. Articles by her on this subject had also appeared in Tamilnet. Accordingly it has been found that she had been closely associated with this topic. Separatism which was routed in the country is now surfacing in different forms. There are many LTTE loyalists in the world although the outfit had been vanquished in Sri Lanka. Also various countries in the world are engaged in the revival of this outfit.
Minister Weerawansa declared that every force wants to destabilize the country. In the past the LTTE first destabilized and they wanted to divide the country. A country destabilizes when its Central Bank, the Port and the Airport are attacked. Thereafter they started dividing the country. This is what is taking place at present. The Chief Justice is implementing Prabhakaran’s agenda in another form to destabilize the country by creating a rift between the judiciary and the legislature to resolve her own problem.
The Minister emphasized all this is being done with the support of international forces and the Tamil Diaspora to prove the allegation at the Geneva Human Rights Council sessions in March, that there is a breakdown in law and order in the country and that the Chief Justice had been driven out of office.
