LTTE drafting ‘law’ to prevent terrorism
In an ironic twist of events, the LTTE is drafting its own “Prevention of Terrorism law” to deal with those whom the Tigers consider as “Prisoners of War”, LTTE legal section chief Eliyathamby Pararajasingham alias Para told The Sunday Times. He said the “law” was expected to be ready by the end of the year and would be made use of to handle situations such as the remanding of the NCPA police officer and a soldier captured during a clash in the east last week. He said the ‘law’ was being drafted and would be sent to some legal experts overseas before being implemented. He said the word ‘terrorism” would be defined in their ‘law’. The LTTE is demanding the release of five of its cadres in exchange for the release of NCPA sub inspector Bandujeewa Bopitigoda but the government has rejected any such deal. |
