(C) Basil addressed the September 29 arrest of a Karuna\r\ncadre for the kidnapping-for-ransom of a Colombo businessman.\r\n He said that arrest had led to the arrest of 13 other Karuna\r\ncadres with the help of a newly appointed 100-officer police\r\ndivision to investigate abductions. He speculated that the\r\nLTTE has long run an extortion ring targeting Tamil\r\nbusinessmen, but that now Karuna and local criminal gangs had\r\ntaken over the business.\r\n\r\n\u00b69. (C) \"We have had trouble with other Tamil groups,\"\r\nRajapaksa explained, naming Douglas Devananda's Eelam\r\nPeople's Democratic Party (EPDP) and the Karuna Faction who\r\n\"might have weapons.\"  Rajapaksa said that the Government of\r\nSri Lanka (GSL) has requested Devananda and the Tamil Mukkal\r\nVidutalai Pulikal (TMVP - Tamil People's Liberation Tigers,\r\na.k.a. the Karuna faction) to control their members and in\r\nthe case of the TMVP to \"go back to Batticaloa.\"  \"We have\r\nclearly instructed Douglas and Karuna that they are\r\npersonally responsible for the actions of their members.\"  He\r\nadded that it \"looked like\" EPDP cadres, along with the SLN,\r\nhad perpetrated the mid-August burning of the pro-LTTE\r\nUthayan newspaper office in Jaffna.\r\n\r\n\"Winning Hearts and Minds in Jaffna\"\r\n------------------------------------\r\n\r\n\u00b610. (C) Rajapaksa spoke proudly of the GSL's efforts to\r\nimprove the humanitarian situation in Jaffna, where fighting\r\nsince August 11 has cut off the supply line by land.  He said\r\nthat in Jaffna \"the Tamils feel we are trying to look after\r\nthem by sending supplies.  They know that the LTTE refused to\r\nallow the ICRC supply chain but that we have never stopped\r\nsupplying food despite the cost.\"\r\n\r\nComment\r\n-------\r\n\r\n\u00b611. (C) The Ambassador's first meeting with Basil Rajapaksa\r\nsparked a candid response from the Presidential Advisor and\r\nlaid the foundation for a pragmatic relationship with the\r\nembassy.  Rajapaksa's frank discussion of the GSL's human\r\nrights struggles with its security forces and request for\r\ninternational assistance in human rights capacity building is\r\nwelcome.\r\nBLAKE<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":37598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,53,57,1,63,65,74,26,27],"tags":[1918,1143,1919,1920,1540,1161,1134,1921,6983],"class_list":["post-4315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-disappearance","category-global-politics","category-law-and-order","category-news","category-politics-2","category-press-freedom","category-uncategorized","category-war-crimes","category-wikileaks","tag-abductions-in-sri-lanka","tag-authoritarianism","tag-basil-wikileaks","tag-douglas-karuna-wikileaks","tag-extra-judicial-killings-in-sri-lanka","tag-foreign-affairs","tag-human-rights","tag-tmvp-epdp-wikileaks","tag-war-crimes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
