Military gave arms training for northern schoolchildren!

Friday, 29 November 2013 

The Colombo government’s response every time war crimes allegations are being levelled relating to the killings of thousands of Tamils during the final stage of the war, has been that its military is well disciplined and that it was the LTTE which had used the Tamil people as a human shield. Also, that the government has given a new lease of life to the Tamil people after the war.

As per results of the northern provincial council elections, the so-called awakening brought from Colombo is clearly rejected, and the pictures below are evidence to what extent the north has been militarized.

In the name of leadership training, these pictures confirm, that students of government schools have been given arms training. Principals, teachers and students of over Grade Eight have been taken to military camps and given arms training under the cover of leadership training, and offered them military ranks.

As the government has been making various statements regarding the recent allegation that it has militarized schools, these pictures show the status of the so-called leadership training.
