VICTIMS DIRECT REPORTS: |
Heartrending tale of Jaffna family, Nowhere to go... | | For view: 11th of July 2010 |  If you tour Jaffna and happen to visit the Jaffna railway station, you will not miss a family of three residing in one of the abandoned office rooms of the station. Selvaratnam Jayalingam (48) his wife Jayarubi and their girl child Dharshika (4) have been living there for the last four months surviving on the food and money given by visitors of the South who are going in large numbers to Jaffna these days and also soldiers who are in the vicinity.
| | | 'I just wanted … freedom' | | For view: 10th of July 2010 |  RAJ, a Sri Lankan Tamil granted asylum in Australia last November, wants to tell his story. But, like several other Tamil refugees who spoke to the Herald, he says having his full name or a photograph of his face published would pose grave risks for his family in Sri Lanka. Raj, 33, says he is worried they could be tortured or kidnapped by government soldiers or anti-Tamil paramilitary groups as retribution for him speaking out. | | | East feels left behind as agencies move north | | For view: 02nd of July 2010 |  Communities in Sri Lanka's Eastern Province - a region of 1.5 million people still recovering from civil-war violence - fear they have been forgotten as humanitarian agencies shift recovery efforts to the north. "There are no jobs here. I have to support my family with what I earn here," said Ravidranathan Valarmadhu, 18, from Pillumallai Village of Batticaloa District. | | | A Former Woman Combatant Struggles to Pick Up the Pieces | | For view: 30th of June 2010 |  As a young woman, Ranjani (not her real name), a 32-year-old Tamil from Sri Lanka’s eastern Batticaloa district, only had bright hopes for tomorrow. Then her dreams were dashed in an instant. In 1990 a group of secessionist Tamil fighters came knocking on their door, looking for additional warm bodies to beef up their forces. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), or Tigers, as the combatants were also known, was then fighting a bloody protracted war against the government for a separate state for the minority Tamils. | | |
