"To us all towns are one, all men our kin.
Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill
Man's pains and pains' relief are from within.
Thus have we seen in visions of the wise !."

- Tamil Poem in Purananuru, circa 500 B.C

  • 4 disappearances, 4 abductions in 48 hours in Jaffna - Jeyachandran Prathap, Maiyoor Chandramohan, Devadas Christy Prasanna, Balasingham Surendran, Jesuthasan Jeyasuthan, Paramsamy Visaharan, Marimuththu Kumutharaj, Amirthalingam Alaheswaran [TamilNet, Thursday, 11 March 2007 ]

Human Rights Commission (HRC) offices in Jaffna reported Sunday that four youths have disappeared and four others have been abducted from their houses by armed men wearing black uniforms in the last 48 hours, sources in Jaffna said. Jaffna residents are gripped with fear as abductions by Sri Lanka Army (SLA) and SLA-backed paramilitaries under Mahinda Rajapakse Government have exceeded the dangerous levels witnessed during Colombo's 1997 counter-insurgency campaign, civil society sources said.

Four youths who had set out from their homes to Jaffna town from different suburbs on different errands disappeared Saturday, according to HRC complaints filed by the relatives. Details of the youths are:

Jeyachandran Prathap, 29, from Rasa Veethy (road) in Atchuvely,
Maiyoor Chandramohan, 27, from Aavarangal in Puthur,
Devadas Christy Prasanna, 26, from Kovil Veethy (road), Nalllur, and
Balasingham Surendran, 25, Sivan Veethy (road), Thirunelvely.

The four youths are not related and independently had come to Jaffna and have not returned home, according to relatives.

Meanwhile, four youths were abducted during the last two days in Jaffna district, according to HRC officials.

Jesuthasan Jeyasuthan, 25, from Nethar Lane in Manipay was abducted at 4:30 a.m. Sunday by armed men who entered his house in Manipay, according to relatives,
Paramsamy Visaharan, 25, was abducted from his home Saturday,
Marimuththu Kumutharaj, 28, from Kandy Road, Ariyalai was abducted by armed men at 4:45 a.m. Sunday, and
Amirthalingam Alaheswaran, 29, was abducted at 9:00 p.m. Saturday from Nedunkulam, Ariyalai Jaffna, HRC officials reported.
