TamilNet releases LTTE documents of 2006 talks
[Sat, 31 Dec 2011, 16:34 GMT]
A
set of documents prepared by the LTTE’s Peace Secretariat during Geneva peace
talks held in February 2006, in June 2006 in Oslo and in October 2006 in Geneva,
some of which have not yet reached public domain, are being released by TamilNet
to facilitate a deeper understanding of the peace process and its eventual
collapse. While 2011 has been a "year of reports," the UN panel report, Norway’s
‘Pawns of Peace’, the genocide model LLRC report etc., the LTTE documents
provide valuable insight into the Tigers' efforts undertaken to fulfill LTTE's
commitment to the International Community. Though groups such as the
International Crisis Group (ICG) reject the application of the concept of
"earned sovereignty" to Eezham Tamils, the documents prepared by the Peace
Secretariat show how the concept was validated in practice by the LTTE. Full story >>

military governor in Jaffna, civil officials in Jaffna blamed G.A. Chandrasiri
for meddling with the disbursement of aid in the province. G.A.Chandrasiri, has
directed that fifteen sewing machines out of 65 that were allocated for

2 (SL) If what is reported in some newspapers is correct, it seems
that the career of one time presidential hopeful and former army
commander Sarath Fonseka would be erased off army records as well as

spirit of Dr Manoharan, the father of one of the students, Ragihar,
who had made the fight to bring the killers of his son to justice
his life's mission. Meanwhile, Amnesty International conducted a
"Write-for-Rights" campaign seeking justice for Dr Manoharan's
