In the backdrop of an increasing number of deaths of former LTTE cadres, the Northern Provincial Council (NPC) has decided to conduct a free medical camp to check the health conditions of the surviving ex-cadres who have undergone rehabilitation.
C.V. Wigneswaran – Northern Chief
Sources said that there are around 12,000 ex-LTTE cadres who have undergone rehabilitation since the end of the war in 2009. The rehabilitated ex-rebels will be requested to undergo medical check up to ascertain if there is a severe medical issue or if the recent deaths of over 100 ex-cadres was just a coincidence.
Tamil media has reported that some 107 former members of the LTTE have died under mysterious circumstances in recent months, after allegedly being injected with a drug while they were being rehabilitated at military camps.
The NPC also recently passed a resolution calling for a medical investigation into the deaths of the former cadres. The NPC has maintained that independent international experts should be present in such an investigation.
According to the NPC most of the dead cadres who have died were relatively young and the reason for the deaths is an ‘unexplained illnesses.’
Dankotuwa Manike / August 16, 2016
Mr Vigneswaran
You are doing all kinds of work outside the scope of the NPC.
Some of the work are local council work, like planting trees, managing the cemeteries etc.
NPC is supposed to pass some 105 to 300 statues to manage its affairs. I understand only three have been passed. As a result, you are unable to function and the government funds are being returned.
I was told passing statues is a copycat exercise of coping the statues of the other provincial councils. I even came to know one NGO and some concerned individuals have come to your help to prepare the draft.
These statues are now being kept on the shelves to be dusted like the Tissa Vitharane’s political proposal given to Mahinda.
I think you have a responsibility to explain to the people why you have not passed these resolutions yet?
Will you tell the CT readers at least your answers?

Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / August 17, 2016
Chronic poisoning of prisoners of war had been carried out in other instances around the world. Therefore it is not a surprise that Srilanka government committed it. If only a few of the rehabilitated detainees had died due to mysterious causes, you can say they are coincidence, but when 107 of them died, you cannot label it as natural causes. These seemingly natural causes of death can be produced by chronic poisoning, and what has now surfaced fits into that picture very well.
Poisons are given in small doses on several occassions either orally or parenterally, so that people do not die immeditely but only after sometime suffering from the ill effects of the poison. Common poisons used are arsenic, heavy metals as lead & mercury, Radio-active substances, pesticides like organo-phosphates. There may be other substances used in these cases in Srilanka.
The systems affected are :
1. Psychological – mood swings, depression, suicidal thoughts, poor concentration, loss of short memory, personality changes.
2. Neurological – acceleration of ageing process, blurring of vision, speech difficulty, sleep disturbances
3. Musculo-skeletal – osteoporosis, muscles and joints aches and pains, no stamina, loss of muscle strength,
4. Immunological – tendency to acquire infections, feels ill.
5. Oncological – DNA and mitochondrial damage causing cancers.
Investigations – Unfortunately all basic tests like Blood counts, kidney and liver functions will be normal. Probably non-specific test like CRP may be raised. ECGs will be normal though some may develop periodic arrythmias and ischemia. CT & MRI scans of brain also will not be of much use. The tests needed are expensive and not available in Srilanka and therefore help of the international community is absolutely necessary.
The recommended tests are:
1. Fat biopsy for pesticides
2. heavy metal content in blood and sweat
Kelmer test for Mercury
3. Mitochondrial tests to detect toxins stuck to membranes and proteins – Translocator Protein studies
– Anti-oxidant status profile
4. Immune function tests – low levels of natural killer cells and B cells, ratio of abnormal T suppressor / helper lymphocytes, hypogammaglobulinaemia, abnormal ANCA, TNF, Interleukin 6.
5. Liver tests – gluthione S transferase, red cell gluthione, tests of ability to detoxify (caffeine paracetamol loading)
6. Hormones – Throid function (low T4 & TSH), salivary adrenal stress profile (mild addisons & low melatonin), low testosterone, Inappropriate ADH.
7. Bone tests – bone density scans of hip, wrist and spine, urine tested for deoxy-pyridinoline (DPD), N telopeptides (NTX)
8. SPECT Brain scan for perfusion studies
6. Psychometric testing & Autonomic nerve conduction studies.
Will the government which will try their best to sweep it under, will ever allocate funds for these tests to ascertain the truth. This will be an exercise in futility if the government refuses to permit foreign expertise to grant justice to the affected.

Test may concentrate on fact finding, which itself will be solution for many, but I think NPC has to put in mind many of the rebels are still with good physical structure have been reduced to invalid by prolong Sinhala Rehabilitation cruelties. They cataloging should include more than the visible sick rebels. Money is a problem. But they should ask volunteers to come and record the complains from these Sinhala Buddhist Rehabilitated Tamils. Even the Jaffna University Students lighted Lamp in Maveerar Day in 2013 and 2014 were Sinhala Buddhist Rehabilitated by that time Higher Education Minister. These are, according to educated Sinhala Gentlemen, nipping on the bud. Thier ends have to recorded. This will help if ever an NGO come forward or if there IC press Apee Aandu provide compensation for those who suffered by the Rapist army’s Buddhism Rehabilitation.

Chief Minister Wigneswaran is not suggesting that he will personally carry out the medical check up.
What he saying is that he will be using his powers and authority as CM to order a Medical Check up.
This takes not more than a telephone call or even perhaps a short meeting.
Then a few minutes to study the executive summary of the doctors and come to a conclusion and then perhaps a press conference if the findings prove anything suspicious.
So Menike just don’t make a big meal out of this.

The Chief Minister of NPC is a legal man and is unable deal with the very legal issue that should have been done at the outset of his appointment.

Good that you went to Jaffna and did not experience a Jaffna pre May 2009.
‘Trains are running, buses are running, markets are functioning, schools are functioning, people are going to work’ – Well said. These are the work of the government in Colombo. Did they run pre May 2009 or soon after?
Since the NPC did not pass the statues, the government in Colombo is doing the work using the funds unable to be used by the NPC for the smooth administration and development.
Your thinking is so narrow and cannot go beyond the situation you enjoyed Jaffna.
You are trying to take the credit for the NPC for the work the government is doing.
It appears that you do not understand the very basics of passing the statues in the NPC. Due you know the implications of passing or not passing statues.
You have gone to Jaffna to find faults with the army and the government. But you failed to dissect your own people.
How many liters of your blood you did donate to the hospitals at the time when army is the major donor in the north.
Did you go to Cargills Food City? Did you have your share of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Did you go for a swim wearing your joggstaps in the Casurina beach? Did you visit the hotels to have your share of special doses? Did you go with your Mathini? What was her experience?
Understanding your mindset, I do not think you would have gone on a religious- cultural pilgrimage. I am sure you would have visited Trinco, Anuradhapura, Batticaloa, Kandy. Galle etc., and What did you enjoy there and what is different in Jaffna.

“Since the NPC did not pass the statues, the government in Colombo is doing the work using the funds unable to be used by the NPC for the smooth administration and development.”
If you think NPC is not functioning to its full potential the government should dissolve it and hand it over to the army commander who would have no difficulty in running it as we see how efficiently and effectively he manages, farms, fishing, saloon, travel agency, house building, hotels, restaurants, vihares, snooping into private lives of citizens, if necessary he could bump off people whom he judge to be burden to the country, ….
After all he needs no new laws to do what he wants to do, as you know he is law onto himself.
We should give the army commander our wholehearted support he deserves. By the way he could chose his ministers from Mahinda’s supporters, Wimal, Dayan, Gamanpilla, Basil, Gota, ….

Thanks for your reply. Unlike you I live in Jaffna and know more about this place than you.
“yes there is no army patrolling the streets of NE in uniform. But they do in civilian clothes.”
Are the security forces not supposed to be patrolling even in uniform and with weapons?
Are members of the security forces never seen in other parts of Sri Lanka?
Did the Air Force not check you at the airport when you left the country?
To my best knowledge nobody has declared NP a demilitarized zone.
“yes the army is invited to attend Temple festival and school sports meet and other large gathering private or public”
You are now changing the story from all congregations to large gatherings.
Yes, security forces are often invited to bigger school functions and even some larger religious events. I don’t know why but this might occur in other parts of SL also. Feel free to ask NPC Department of Education why they invite representatives of the nearest base and police station tom a sports meet.
As to weddings etc and usual religious activity members of the security forces are not invited. Would it be wrong if a Christian sailor goes to church? Can a Muslim policeman go to a mosque? Can a Hindu soldier go to a kovil?
Can I invite the friendly traffic policeman to my birth day party without your permission? I know that he is corrupted but are they not all?

We have also a CM who behaves like the proverbial ” Dog in the Manger”, who will not do, but will also not let others do! What this man says and does. Is not in the domain of the sane, any longer. He has crossed the rubicon. Those who admire him are also demented. He and those like Rajash, should be examined by an international medical panel to assess how demented they are.

“Are members of the security forces never seen in other parts of Sri Lanka? “
No. Not as visibly as in Jaffna.
“Did the Air Force not check you at the airport when you left the country? “
There is stringent security in all international flights in any where in the world. Nothing to compare with Jaffna.
“To my best knowledge nobody has declared NP a demilitarized zone. “
Yes indeed. The rest of Sri Lanka is.
“Yes, security forces are often invited to bigger school functions and even some larger religious events. I don’t know why but this might occur in other parts of SL also.”
Thanks for clarifying. Exactly what I said. No security forces are not invited to such events in other parts of Sri Lanka
“Can I invite the friendly traffic policeman to my birth day party without your permission? I know that he is corrupted but are they not all? “
invite whom you may like. Its your party
what you are saying there is a hand in glove relationship between the army and Tamil Community. An understanding not to breach the army lines.
TO call Jaffna an open prison may be too harsh. But Sinhala politicians know how to play the game

Rajash – You should have put your above comment down to one sentence that two provinces (N/E)are under army occupation
which explains everything about freedoms and democracy.Cannot blame Mr. Viggie CM.NPC for going outside the scope of NPC as alleged by fellow writer Dankotuwa Menike as TNA does not deal with local problems experienced by people on a daily basis in
the North but wasting time with IC, diaspora and UN on matters,
which are unattainable w/o closely working with the govt. Its
almost two years passed with this govt. in power but the army
occupation of N/E and land grab problems are still to be solved
by TNA nor had a one on one meeting with the govt. to solve the
existing problems. No new projects are mooted in the area to solve unemployment problems, which brought the two provinces
down to poverty lines.
Instead of accepting ministerial positions in the Govt, TNA preferred to stay outside and go on bended knees to up country
Tamil and Muslim ministers to solve the day to day problems of the people of N/E. treating the Tamils of N/E as secondary citizens.

I am responding to your previous threads:
You indicated that the NPC is functioning outside of the their scope of practice. I checked various sources for scope of provincial councils. For example, you can find the reference from Wiki. Provincial council has jurisdiction in “agriculture, education, health, housing”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincial_government_in_Sri_Lanka
If the provincial council has jurisdiction of health matters, your assertion Wignes is functioning outside his scope of practice is wrong.
Please refer below to ‘department of health’ within Other provincial Counci, from the PC website of respective PC below:
Southern: PC http://www.sp.gov.lk/
Central: PC http://www.cp.gov.lk/en/departments/department-of-health-services.html
If the provincial council is responsible for health affairs of the people, NPC’s decision to investigate mysterious death is not outside of NPC’s jurisdiction.
You also allege that other provincial council are functioning within their jurisdiction. So if health matters is outside the jurisdiction of PC, how can other PC have health matters within their jurisdiction?

If anyone is to be compared to the Nazis it is not the LTTE but the Sinhalese Sri Lankan government and armed forces and police.
The LTTE are no saints but more than 95% of the violence and the most brutal forms of this was committed by all Sinhalese led Sri Lankan governments the Sinhalese armed forces and police and 99% of their victims were innocent Tamil civilians. The LTTE is a child of Sinhalese racism and brutality towards the island’s Tamils from the time of independence.
The LTTE is dead and gone more than seven years but brutality towards the Tamils. large scale ethnic cleansing raping and looting at the hands of a very racist Sinhalese establishment armed forces and police aided abetted and totally supported by a largely racist Sinhalese population, ironically descended largely from Tamil immigrants from India and largely fed on a Mahavamsa myth, that the island only belongs to the Sinhalese and Buddhists are the real problem.
This evidenced by the Sinhalese Govigamma Catholic cardinal in Colombo stating he has no problem regarding Buddhism given prominence throughout the island, even in historical Tamil areas in the north and east where Saivaism was the prominent religion that was protected by the Tamil kings and chiefs who ruled these areas. Proves that all Sinhalese even the recently assimilated Indian Tamil slaves and those belonging to the Christian faith, are all brainwashed by this racist Mahavamsa myth, that the land only belongs to the Sinhalese,

Before you put the next question I shall state further. I am a graduate in agriculture. I am fair skinned, good looking and a well dressed person.
I am a good cook of Sinhala dishes. I used to dance Kathkali but now unable to, due to old age. I sing and a good entertainer. I have many Tamil and Marakala friends.
Some of my Tamil friends really like my bathapu karies and kiri hothi. My way of preparing Ambul thihal out beats the Jaffna fish curry. I love Payasum.
I sympathise with the minorities and criticise them for their foolishness. Tamils were good and clever people and I am sad Sinhala hate mission has weakened them. I see this in the very functioning of the Northern Provincial government.
This is just a bit of my resume. Do not fail to read my comments to know more about me in the future.

Gone to China for another round. As long as he surrenders to the bosses, Old King, New King, Ranil Mahata…Champika is a king too.

Dankottuwa,
This is about an accusation. For example, the current regime accused former regime about corruptions and now the investigations are going on. Similarly, Tamils and International community accused Srilanka violated human rights and committed war crimes. These should be investigated. Recently, a considerable number of those rehabilitated LTTE cadres (young) died and tsome of those who wwent through rehabilitation informed that they became ill after they were injected during the rehabilitation. So, what you should do to proof that it is not due to injection? Medical check up and investigation. What is wrong with that?
Whether the CM is passing the statues or not is matter for people to decide in the elections. That is what people did to Mahinda because people believed that Mahinda robbed the Nation and violated human rights and committed war crimes.

Please show or give the link where we can get this information. Guessing a range from 105 to 300 looks like a wild guess with a variance of some 200 – that is way too off the mark mite. So, let us have the links where we can check this. Of course, if this is true, we can then the reasons for and against. ok.
You are talking about “statues” or “statutes”. I don’t think Wiggi would have any problem on taking hold of any statutes. If we have more info, it will help.

According to my political contacts of both the divide I am certain that it is 105. But I read EPDP’s Thavarajah (who is the opposition leader in the NPC) saying 300 statues. This is why I stated it is between 105 and 300.
There is downright silence on this issue. Even Viggi is maintaining silence.
‘I don’t think Wiggi would have any problem on taking hold of any statutes. If we have more info, it will help’ – why don’t you invite him for a categorical response.
The Colombo and Jaffna media are not debating this issue. It is ++++ for Wiggi.

That the Colombo and Jaffna media are not talking about this – could it be due to irrelevance of the issues? The TNA has not said anything about it. The elected reps have not talked, at least publicly, about this. So, unless there is information to the contrary, Wiggi should be given the benefit of doubt. Since have the political contacts and EPDP’s Thavarajah should be able to enlighten on this issue – at least let the public know what are these issues.

Rapist army was forcefully carrying out abortion in Kilinochchi hospital. These are women not from LTTE. But they were still Rapist army’s targets because of they are Tamils. Many were forced sterilized. These were 100% medical cruelties in addition with physical abuse and torture by the army. Many of their relatives were murdered before these done to them.
There were many young girls were forcefully recruited to army in that area in 2013, 2014 and eventually many became mental cases and few attempted suicide. Many were hospitalized. No MPs or relative were allowed to go to hospital. Even EPDp Douglas was not allowed to see the patients Doctors were coerced to give out false reports. These are medical cruelties practiced on the women with physical abuse. Now they are forcefully separated from Tamil communities and settled in Sinhala colonies, to keep their mouths shut permanently.
Coordinates of the makeshift hospital were forcefully obtained from IC RC and these hospital were bombed. Then this hospital staffs were forced to give false statement. Even they were forced to go to Army’s kind of rehabilitation.
To hide medical evidences, when the women were raped, the rapist army planted bombs to hide the medical evidence.
FOR YEARS LANAKWE HAS BEEN ARTISTICALLY AND INNOVATIVELY USING MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY TO CARRY OUT ITS GENOCIDE ON TAMILS
It was reported that army head claimed that Tamilini had cancer even before she was taken to prison. Come on comedy, it is not Tamilini, it’s about the all the medical tortures practiced by you in the army’s torture chambers.
If Thamilini have had Cancer in the prison why did it take so long to release the documents having her treated in the prison? Or is he telling she had cancer but not treated? If she had cancer why the Old King attempted to force her go for NPC election against CV? Why did she hide it in her book to tell what was her first diagnosis of cancer and who was doctor found it first? Is this man is telling that her EPDP marriage partner married her knowingly that she was a cancer patient? When her mother did come to know about this? What a cruel mistreatment her by this gang?
Because of this army commander’s word, now the army has put all hospital records for all the rebels asking for them of what kind of disease the army had been aware of the rebels had. Come on Rapist army, hand over to NPC all the documents of treatments given to all rebels participating in the investigation. This is important for NPC to continue its investigation.
Your medical practices on the Rebels is a genocide crime. It has to investigated by foreign experts.

Manike, lot of people are selfish and not doing their job if there is no profit. What is the problem if CV does others work as well while others are not doing. Once LTTE told that the crime committed to Tamils will come to south one day and later it came to South. If you do not take action now for the crime committed to surrendered people, they will use south people also as Gene picks soon, all depends on the price. Please support for a through check-up using international professionals. We do not have enough expertise or God fearing professionals in our country (Tamil or Sinhala) – You do not get the right answer from them if the price is right but the professionals in the west normally very loyal to their profession, very difficult to buy them. They are brought up like that. That is why they are ruled us and still ruling us and still we are fighting for a piece of bread. We have to learn from them and change our attitude.

On what basis does the CM Wigi say “increasing number of deaths of former cadres”? How many have died since their release and the amounts say every 6 months after the release took place? Is Wigi raising a genuine concern or just rabble rousing to gain attention of the world at large to raise issues of genocide etc.?
When wigi speaks like this, it is natural for people in other parts of the country to wag their tongues to say that wigi is raising this type of politically motiviated insinuations so as to gain attention and raising prospects for Northerners to be refugees in the Western World. This definitely is not helpful to build bridges amongst people to foster ethnic and religious harmony.

Comments in reply to mine itself is proof to my contention that contents of this kind makes things difficult to build bridges amongst people.
Had Wigi, discreetly called 4 or 5 rehabilitated youth, subjected them to an exhaustive medical examination (of course voluntarily) and established that they were subject to some cruel treatment which would cause death after some years, then he has a point to raise and that must be investigated thoroughly.
Mere suspicions and voicing them would only cause a division and if medical checks carried out subsequently results in the negative then there is nothing to investigate and the damage done in terms of amity is irreparable.

“In the first place what authority Rajapksha had to release 12,000 hard core terrorists without the approval of the Parliament? “
Let us contemplate simple stock count
A trader who sells expensive computers, had at the beginning of the trading year 10 laptops. – I
Through out the year it received delivery of 20 laptops. – II
It sold 15 laptops in the year of trading. – III
At the end of the year it had a stock count of 12 laptops. IV
According to books it should have (I + II – III) = 15 Laptops.
Simple logic state the store had lost 3 laptops due to pilferage.
Here the new auditor/accountant has a problem.
Did the retailer actually have 10 computers at the begining of the year? May be the store had more than what is in the books. Hence in his opinion the store has lost more laptops than what the retailer believes.
Again these were figures given to the accountant by the trader.
Here the auditor/accountant has no means of confirming the stock reconciliation. The figures I, II, and III were given to him/her by the trader without any supporting evidence.

But they destroyed all of them which it self a war crime. 2nd is erasing the evidence is another war crime. a big contest in Looting and robbing IPkif and sla.
Biological warfare with barrel bombs on civillian in 1987 also an obvious war crime. The law experts and UNO or NGOs and the media all over the world failed to voice against these. How one can expect the fairness in this world . Only child recruitment by LTTE is the war crime for all the writers so far. craftily young girls are being killed in NE. The culprits are made to escape as refugees.

I reproduce below a study on health problems in US war veterans. This would apply equally to the ex-cadres of the LTTE and ex-soldiers. The Northern Provincial does not have the skills or the resources or the skills to carry out a comprehensive and in-depth study the neighborhood national hospitals come under the central government and are also constrained in many ways.
I think this recommendation by Chief Minister Wignewaran is merited and should be welcome.
“After the Battle: 7 Health Problems Facing Veterans
By Maureen Salamon | November 11, 2010 12:06am ET
143 15 12 10 11 MORE
The wounds of war can go far beyond what meets the eye. From mental health issues to pain and illness that persist long after they’ve left the battlefield, veterans face a multitude of health troubles either unique to their service or more frequent among them than the general population.
“Folks returning from combat have a constellation of health concerns, including physical issues, psychological issues and psychosocial issues concerning things like work and family,” said Dr. Stephen Hunt, national director of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Post Deployment Integrative Care Initiative.
“This is a population that has unique health care needs that need to be addressed,” added Hunt, who is based in Seattle. “It’s something that really needs to be done by a team. We can’t do it without the collaboration of other providers, and the knowledge and presence of the community.”
Some of the most common physical complaints of returning soldiers cannot be classified into a single disorder, Hunt said. They include nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, pain and cognitive disturbances such as memory and concentration problems.
“The interesting thing is, we see this after all wars,” he said. “We think it’s a reflection of the duress and intensity of the situation. They’re worn out, hurting and it’s kind of hard to think straight.”
Here are seven health conditions confronting veterans:
Musculoskeletal injuries and pain
Just over half of all veterans’ post-deployment health visits address lingering pain in their backs, necks, knees or shoulders, Hunt said. And according to an August study in the Journal of Pain, about 100,000 veterans of the Gulf War nearly 20 years ago have reported chronic muscle pain. Previous research indicated that regular, sustained exercise can help reduce that pain, which doctors encourage to help avoid disability.
Mental health issues
While post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among soldiers has been well publicized, other mental woes can also result from the trauma of war. A June study in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry found that one in 10 Iraq war vets develop serious mental problems, including violent behavior, depression and alcohol abuse. The study found that PTSD or depression seriously impaired daily functioning in 8.5 percent to 14 percent of these vets.
Disabling on its own, PTSD is also linked to the development of physical illnesses for veterans as years pass. Researchers from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., reported this year that 54 percent of veterans with PTSD also had sleep apnea, compared with 20 percent of PTSD patients in the general population. PTSD in vets is also associated with a greater risk of developing dementia, according to a June study in Archives of General Psychiatry.
Chemical exposure
Research by the American Heart Association found that exposure to nerve agents such as sarin — which can trigger convulsions and death on the battlefield— may cause long-term heart damage in Gulf War veterans. The damage can include an enlarged left ventricle, heart rhythm abnormalities or a reduction in the pumping strength of the heart.
“Environmental agents and toxic chemicals are very common in combat theaters,” Hunt said, “and we need to watch [these vets] closely.”
Infectious diseases
As a rule, all military personnel are given routine vaccinations before deployment. Yet veterans suffer disproportionately from certain infections that civilians almost never experience for\\ which vaccines are not available, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. They include bacterial infections such as brucellosis, which may persist for years; campylobacter jejuni, which causes abdominal pain, fever and diarrhea; and Coxiella burnetii, which in chronic cases can inflame the heart.
Leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease caused by the bite of a sand fly native to the Middle East, is a particularly brutal condition veterans experience. Those infected suffer weight loss, fevers, headaches, muscle pain and weakness, anemia, and enlargement of the spleen and liver. It can be fatal if untreated, according to the VA.
Noise and vibration exposure
Hearing loss and impairment — including persistent ringing and buzzing in the ears — are common effects of harmful noise from gunfire, heavy weapons, noisy engine rooms and aircraft, Hunt said. Additionally, vets who regularly worked with machinery can suffer vibration exposure, which can prompt irreversible lower back pain or numbness and pain in the hands and fingers, according to the VA.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
TBI, often brought on by a blow or jolt to the head, disrupts brain function and has been called the signature wound of the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the National Academy of Sciences. Blast exposures and other combat-related activities put service members at greater risk for sustaining a TBI compared to their civilian counterparts, according to the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center.
Common effects of TBIs include cognitive issues such as shorter attention span, language disabilities, and an inability to process information. Vets can also suffer from lack of motivation, irritability, anxiety and depression, headaches, memory loss and PTSD.
“Between 70 and 80 percent of combat deaths are from blast-related exposure,” Hunt said, “and of survivors, 20 percent report that they may have had an event that resulted in a mild concussion. Whether there will be any long-term effects is difficult to ascertain.”
Urologic injuries
Penetrating injuries to the groin area during battle are often treated only after life-threatening injuries have been dealt with, said Dr. Arthur Smith, a Medical College of Georgia urologist who spoke at the Warrior Health Symposium last month. Injuries to the bladder, ureters, kidneys and genitalia usually require complex surgery, Smith said, but complications often arise because treatment must be put off.

This should be a vital aspect of rehabilitation.

This is different from deliberate poisonig of prisoners of war, which is the allegation at present which needs to be investigated. Please read my suggestions to ascertain the truth, which is beyond reach without foriegn expertise and funding. I omitted micro-biological substances which could be adminstered to prisoners of war to cause illnesses, as the symptoms described by released detainees does not correspond.

Dr Gnana S and Dr RN,
Thank you for your comments.
Let me start by stating that I have nothing against doing a medical check up of the former LTTE cadres. I am actually surprised if the NPC has until now mostly neglected their mental and physical health that surely has special needs.
Who claims that there have been mysterious deaths?
Who claims that reason of death for these mysterious deaths is “unexplained illnesses”. How common is this reason for the general population of same ages?
Have these claims been made by doctors on death certificates?
As you must know the general public including Tamil media, politicians and the former cadres themselves very rarely have any relevant medical knowledge.
How would the deaths be examined assuming that the bodies have been cremated and no body samples have been kept?
I agree with Dr Gnana on the need of foreign funding and examinations abroad for the remaining 12000 former cadres to find out if they have been poisoned or not. The examinations listed by Dr Gnana are often not available in SL and even less at JTH. Since I cannot imagine funding for sending the 12000 abroad I believe that in practice they will be examined at JTH.
Even these examinations in my opinion often cannot prove from where possible toxins came from. An injection, food, water, work related?

The issues you have raised are related to war veterans mental and physical health issues as a result of being in the front line in a war atmosphere for a long duration.
The issue with the surrendered LTTE veterans is a suspicion that the Sri Lankan army may have been deliberately incapacitated them.
But that is very difficult to prove. As the army will argue the symptoms are war syndromes. It appears to me that you are also staking that same line, knowing your allergy to Chief Minister of NPC

i agree with you that through medical science we may find out what really happenned,but until that results are out which will take some time a prima facie case can be established by an investigation into who authorised these injections and what for,did a doctor subsequently approve it,were the injections given by a doctor,or even a nurse under supervision of a doctor,were the injections tamperproof,if these were innoculations against communicable diseases,did the army personnell also get it,if not why only these people,were their any instances of anyone contraction any communicable disease,if no why the sudden concern,did all lTTE cadres get injections or only some,if only som on what basis they were selected.So you see jansee plenty of questions for the army to answer satisfactorily in a preliminary inquiry.

The following is a link to the need for statutes to be passed by the provincial councils to function effectively under the 13 th amendment. The North Western Province has done best in this regard. It is an example for the NPC to follow. From what I have understood the NPC has miserably failed in this regard. Passing these statutes should have been the first steps the NPC should have taken.

These statues are not worth the paper they are written.
Passing statues is not going to give any more authority or power or independence to the NPC.
what is required is for NE to merge and devolve full land, economic , fiscal and police power.
The merged NE can then call for foreign direct investment.
Currently all foreign financing have to be channelled through the Central Govt.
All major foreign investments are going to the South and Colombo
These are all lame duck statues to hood wink Nisha Biswal the Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs and other the International Communities
So tell me NPC pass the statues and what happens next?
levy punitive tax on the poor peasants to raise finance for development!!!!

“The merged NE can then call for foreign direct investment. Currently all foreign financing have to be channelled through the Central Govt.”
Why would it be any different for a merged NE? Would a merged NE by default receive a status (independence?) that other provinces do not have? Why and how? Read the Constitution.
“All major foreign investments are going to the South and Colombo”
Yes and not only FDI. It is basically only the government that is trying to develop NP but in my opinion mostly in the wrong way.
I hope that you have seen that Governor Cooray is inviting investment to NP. Tamil politicians have also done this but lacking the pragmatic approach of Cooray.

Wigneswaran’s total incompetency has been exposed after he became CM. Even Sampanthan, who was his original supporter, has got sick of him. So he is uttering incendiary statements meant to stoke communal hatred and blames the ‘Sinhala’ gov in the south to cover his inadequacy as CM. Funding for mandated provincial gov activities have been allocated for many years by the ‘Sinhala’ gov. These funds are being returned back to the treasury.
Wiggy should realize that wearing a Pottu & Veti when he is in Jaffna, & blaming the Sinhalese is not going to solve the problems in the North. The same ruse has been used in the past, by many part time Jaffna polticos, who have used political positions to enjoy the good life in Colombo, send their children to good schools & marry good looking Sinhalese girls

What ever it is the mortality and morbidity is very high among the rehabilitated carders. There thousands of doctors In Sri lanka . Have they taken the Hypocritis oath. Or do they know about it or heard about it. Every doctor as medical student study epidemiology. Why are they not applying what they have studied. Isn’t it an omission? That is the medical profession IN SL. The medical profession should have duty to to attend when there is a situation arise. But SL medical profession is showing a blind eye. When there is a need the members of the profession should honestly respond to it. the need may be either individual based or community based or a group of people based. With what motive the rehabilitation was conducted. No one spoke about the aim and goal of the rehabilitation of former LTTE carders. 12000 youngsters perishing after rehab is actual genocide . In fact most of them are youngsters forcibly recruited during the last phase of the war. They have nothing to do with terrorism. Request The countries, and people with fair mind to take over these youngster and provide them refuge and honest rehabilitation.

what can the medical profession do.
Remember the two doctors who were forced to lie to the world in front of TV and international press stage managed by Gota and the army?.
Even now Sri Lankan doctors are afraid to make any true diagnosis that may implicate the army or the government.
That is why NPC CM is calling for a neutral medical body to carry out the tests on the ex LTTE carders

Are you all confusing statutes with statues as in Buddha Statues cropping up all over NE for which MPC has not passed any statute approving it.?

Let us have tokens/ symbols of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Chritianity planted wherever we can imagine – mountain tops, bottoms of trees, fish markets, near butchered, near public toilets, road junctions, beaches, valleys, bridges. Etc., Etc.,- to our hearts content, if they will influence us to become compassionate to others and respectful of what is right, Dharma, Halal and Aram, in our words, deeds and thoughts!
Unfortunately, the more we display these symbols, the less human we are.

The morbidity and mortality incidents should be the same among those who were in Vanni the general population and the former militants. As the battle was concentrated in a very small area the general population and the militants were exposed to same amount of explosions and firing. If the incidence and prevalence differ between the general population and the former militant groups then there is some thing to investigate.

Packs,
You are wrong. The cadres were a select group of men, women, boys and girls, who were specially trained for combat, in the use of weapons, for regimented life, life on the edge, life on the run and extreme privations when at war. They were emotionally in a highly strung state, killed and ready to die. They were trained to become brutes in the battle fields and while on combat missions.They may have been in same area as the civilians, but both are not comparable samples of the same population.

“The morbidity and mortality incidents should be the same among those who were in Vanni the general population and the former militants. As the battle was concentrated in a very small area the general population and the militants were exposed to same amount of explosions and firing.”
I don’t think that it is as simple as you apparently do. The time of exposure is not going to be the same for the general population and the former cadres who might have had involved in battles and hard life during decades. The social and educational back ground of the cadres and the general population is not the same. Many cadres are not from the Vanni. Different physical and mental problems are bound to be more common among the cadres and will cause early death.
“If the incidence and prevalence differ between the general population and the former militant groups then there is some thing to investigate.”
These claims should be investigated. To my best knowledge the original claim has been made by a member of NPC who is highly likely to be totally unable to understand medicine and statistics. In addition a certain former MP appears to promote this claim to receive publicity and he also is not qualified to make any statement on this.

Pacs,
In my humble opinion too little information has been provided to the public on the claim of cadres poisoned while being rehabilitated.
I repeat my question on how the NPC will be able to investigate deaths of cadres assuming that their bodies have been cremated and samples of the bodies have not been kept. Going through medical records is unlikely to reveal new facts.
The medical records of the cadres that have died are confidential and if they have been obtained by politicians or other outsiders without the consent of their families there has been a breach of confidentiality.
The medical records of the 12000 rehabilitated cadres are also confidential. Outsiders should not have access to them without consent and this, of course, includes politicians and media.
I don’t believe that the NPC can investigate the “mysterious deaths” due to the reasons I gave provided above. The decision to investigate whether the 12000 cadres alive have been poisoned is impossible to implement with existing resources.
I welcome any professional investigations and especially any attention to the status of health of the former cadres.
Unfortunately this case is likely to be yet another attempt of some politicians to gather attention without having any real practical goal.
