LTTE brutally tortured and killed spies, traitors: Tamil Tigress
New Delhi: A new book by a former woman fighter has claimed
that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) tortured and killed
alleged spies and traitors while fighting the Indian peacekeepers in Sri
Lanka.
Niromi de Soyza had joined LTTE in early 1987 at age 17 who quit the
group after she realised that violence cannot lead to a Tamil Eelam
state.
Niromi de Soyza in her 308-page book 'Tamil Tigress' has claimed that
for them (LTTE) killing humans was no different to killing a cockroach.
Citing an incident in her book Niromi reveals that one afternoon, in
Jaffna, Niromi and her Tiger friends saw some of their male colleagues
kick and punch a teenage LTTE member, Vellai, even as he kept begging
for his life "I didn't do it, I didn't do it."
They were accusing Vellai of being an Indian spy.
Finally, an LTTE guerrilla, Justin, dealt a blow on the victim's skull with an axe.
The book also says that people of Jaffna repeatedly pleaded with LTTE to give up fighting the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF).
