Youth attacked by STF
A youth from the Thirukovil area in Batticaloa was attacked
by the STF when he went to obtain relief aid in front of an
STF camp. The incident was reported to the Amparai district
SLMM.
Jeyam Aravinthan, aged 26 from the Thirukovil Neethimanram
road went to the STF camp where the STF were distributing
part of the relief aid given by the government. STF asked
the youth to unload material from a truck. The youth
obliged. STF then ordered the youth to unload material from
another truck which the youth refused. STF then attacked the
youth in front of the people who have gathered there. The
STF told the youth that he should not receive aid because he
was not affected by the tsunami. The incident was reported to the STF camp chief Ratnayake
and the Amparai district SLMM.
