In order to prevent LTTE members from being killed in the team’s bitterly fought turmoil for a independent homeland for the majority Tamils, Sri Lanka’s security forces were on call in the northern and eastern regions ahead of the end of the long-drawn battle. Security forces learned about events being held throughout the island nation’s Tamil-dominated North and East to honor the outlawed Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam ( LTTE ) to commemorate the 15th anniversary of its final battle.
The three- century- much military, which started in 1983, was ended by the island world’s defense by killing the frontrunners of the LTTE in 2009.
A unique task force of the military and police would keep an eye on the probable LTTE ceremonies from May 20 through May 20 despite the military’s decision to not deploy soldiers.
Security forces claimed that the distribution of pro-LTTE poetry was witnessed at a number of memorial events. At some occasions, names were also made for the restoration of the LTTE, which is under prohibition abroad, including in India.
Any organization attempting to mark the LTTE may be detained, according to police.
But, Tamil social and human rights organizations claim that the events planned are to honor their kith and family, who have perished in the drawn-out issue since the middle of the 1970s.
The primary commemorative event is scheduled for Mullaitivu, the site of the last battle, at the seaside in Vellamullivaikkal.
University and civic organizations in Tamil-dominated Jaffna celebrated the start of the” Mulivaikkal year” on May 11. In the remembrance of the fallen, plasma donation efforts are being conducted.
Porridge was distributed to commemorate the one-day service members who were ensnared in Mullaitivu during the last wars between the LTTE and government forces.
Authorities arrested four persons, including three people, in the northeast area of Sampur for violating a judge order banning the LTTE celebrations, it said on Tuesday.
Up until May 2009, the LTTE operated a horizontal leadership in some of the northern and eastern regions.
The military conflict actually came to an end on May 19, 2003, when LTTE chairman Velupillai Prabakaran’s body was found in the pond of the northern area of Mullaivaikkal.
