From pages past: On Tiger horrors

Absolutely ruthless and most brutal as only Tigers can be

(March 18, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Subidcham: We came across this heart-rending lament of a friend of Aarthy who took arms for what she thought was right. We noted her tribute to a dead comrade, killed by beasts in human forms crying for “justice for Tamils” as a cover for their deadly conspiracy to create a Fascist state, could be repeated hundreds and hundreds of times for the vile cruelty at which the Wanni terrorists are degenerate, depraved monsters.

Children and young ladies suffer the most and the latter are systematically abused sexually, the children both male and female are subjected to all kinds of atrocities. The Tigers have set up orphanages of infamy for the pleasurable activities of its senior cadres and as institutions that provide soldiers for the frontlines and suicide bombing expeditions.

The fate suffered by Aarthy is certainly not an exception. It is virtually an everyday happening in Wanni. There is a guy who keeps cobras, vipers and scorpions merely to use them as aids in torture. Known as Cobra Castro, he is the most senior of the Wanni leaders after the Wanni Monster himself, Pottu Amman and Soosai.

Aarthy: My sister My friend

When the hatred rules,
When the jungle law prevails,
Justice lose, for which I cry,

She was once a freedom fighter,
Fought many a war,
Sacrifices her young life,
For the Eelam cause,

Now a traitor for her faith,
For she stood for her truth,

Ferocious Vanni forces,
Crossing Verugal river,
Warriors from Tamil Eelam,
Becomes warriors from hell,

She surrendered, they captured,
She was striped, she was bitten,
She was pushed to death,
Shot in her vagina by "northern warriors"
Once brothers, now gods of death,

Justice lose, my heart freeze,
Blood lose its values,
Water becomes thicker than blood,

My sister, My friend,
The Verugal river cries for you!
