Normalcy in Jaffna Centre and its suburbs was disrupted Thursday morning after groups of grief-stricken students, teachers, university students and civilians walked out on to the streets in protest against the gruesome Tamil Tiger assassination of the Jaffna Central College Principal.

In a latest attempt to eliminate rising intellectual opposition from Jaffna against LTTE activities, Jaffna Central College Principal, Rajadurai(53) was brutally gunned down Wednesday (12) afternoon at about 3.45 p.m . by Tamil Tiger pistol men.

Grief stricken and furious students at Jaffna Central College boycotted school sessions in protest against LTTE's brutal slaying of their principal in broad daylight, according to sources from Jaffna.

Rajadurai was also criticized by the LTTE for his involvements with the EPDP to develop Jaffna schools. He was also known as a hardcore opponent of LTTE child recruitment in the Northern areas of Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, in a move to justify the killings, the pro-LTTE tamilnet claimed that he was a "strong supporter of EPDP" in its report on the slaying of the Principal.

Jaffna residents claim that the slaying of the Principal sent a shock wave through their community. They also urge the government and the international community to take strong action to prevent such killings in future. Military sources claim that the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission has been provided with all accounts related to the killings.

1. TamilNet has not reported any protests so far. This source cannot be trusted.
2. Nobody protested the death of the principal.
3. The fire in the photo was lit by the students of the school to fry pappadam, to celebrate the birthday of one of ths students. The crowds were attracted to the street by the smell.

any others?

If LTTE is fighting for Tamils why their Jafna people boycott against them. I thing something is going wrong here. Or else LTTE should change the way they are addressing themselves.
 

I'm waiting to see some of our LTTE supporters/sympathizers/well wishers  write........
...This was launched by SL forces....., ....GOSL is behind this killing and student uprising..., etc, etc...

....Tyres were burn by JVP thugs....... (they have a relationship with Tyres anyway)

Tamils should think about whether they stay with LTTE to achive their utopian Eelam state or join hands with othe communities to defeat LTTE. As long as Tamil are with these murderers they continue to suffer.

Don't know which Jaffna you are talking about Jason. But the Jaffna in Sri Lanka, is getting back to normal and the people there are happier now than they were before '95. Since LTTE got kicked out of Jaffna, life here is getting better.  It is those tamils who are in europe and canada, are unhappy about Jaffna situation. The dilay killing pf Tamil civilians by LTTE is a reflection of thier frustration.

I think not only him LTTE is also a part of JVP or JHU. "cos they have killed hundreds of tamils and only very few Sihnalese during the last couple years.

I am from the eastern SL. I went to Jaffna twice since the CFA once in 2002 and in 2005. Hearing from
local residents to the interlectuals, the main problem there was no law and order. The SL amry and police
ignored the enforcement of the law and order and therby encouraged the the crimes like robbery, illegal  
alcohol/drug sales, adulty rape and murder. During the time when LTTE was there (before 1995) they had their Judiciary system which prevented all these crime. SL forces themselves involved in many of these crimes(rape of
Krishanthi and several hundreds of dead bodies in Chemani are proofs to this). Ofcourse some residents complainted again't the LTTE's tax system but it is for their administrative overhead which should be understanable.  Now SL forces
have created Jaffna as an open prison.

Usually JVP burn one tyre for ten bodies as a cost cutting practice, They place the heads together in a circular
arrangement and burn them with single tyre to make the bodies unidentified (seen this in 1989). Now there is
only one body in this incident and tyres used; hm ...  this may the work of JHU?.

Solo is trying hard to convince that the Jaffna residents are protesting due to SL army's performance rather than on LTTE killings. I see this as an excellent argument to be published in the tamilnet which is a well known fool's forum, rather than in an academic forum like this. Jaffna residents (very few), according to Solo is only unhappy about some tax issue and they are very happy about LTTE in all other issues. Nice joke ! This time tyres are burning on Jaffna streets to protest this tax problem. Once that is fixed Jaffna is next to heaven !!!  O'dear.. solo.., solo..., solo..., I can't simply believe !!!!!

Solo, you have deliberately forgotten about cold blooded killings in "peace" time but really well remember army killings during "war" time. Solo, there is the huge difference in the times and a person like you who has visited only twice during last 3 years cannot reliably claim that you know the ground reality there. The reality is that the LTTE does not let the army or the government to implement any process, law enforcement or any other. This particular incident is a good example that anybody who got a tiniest brain inside the skull can understand what is going on in Jaffna, Sri Lanka.

It is better to be quiet if you are not sure. As soon as one opens his mouth, he displays his brain level to the audience!

Visit kadirgamar.net, hopefully we can all help stop future LTTE criminal activities.

If the LTTE does not let the Army to implement any law enforcement or any process in Jaffna , the Army is there for doing nothing ?  Why should they be there occupying vast area of farmland forcibly abducted by chasing the civilians,
and wasting lot of taxpayers money as their wages. The only reason they are there to show the international community & innocent sinhala people that they are in control but virtually they are not. Do you agree?

at least the students of these principals are still sane and brave I regret i am not with them at this point  in a corner of the protest meeting . I want to tell these Tamils who support the LTTE and rationalize or deflect the criticism of the killings,
have you asked  
1)if the ltte is not killing, isn't it a great loss to the society and shouldn't  they have to organize the protest them self in a massive way?
2) if they kill these  people, shouldn't they put these people at least through their own  court system and give them a fair chance to explain what is the rationale of their action ?

the other participants wanted to talk about the past atrocities of the opposite parties
what is the benefit of discussing it in this forum ? it is just jabbering

some one try to pretend to be the gentleman and demand  solving the fundamental problem
without knowing the problems need to be solved.

if LTTE is the sole reps of Tamils and wanted to solve the problem

1) have they ever asked the Tamils what are the problems and which one are their priorities?
   it seems like killing the enemies and serving the masters(west through Norway) and pleasing the supporters are the priorities and solely decided by Bala Prabha and Pottu.
for almost thirty years nothing else happened in the Tamil society.
are they realy talk about the fundamental problems in the peace meetings for last 2 to 3 years or even the ones befor that?

2) LTTE wants (they say) Tamil eelam but  ready to accept alternative solution.
    did  any Tamils organized any protest against this idea ever ?
  didn't this mean that no Tamils want Tamil eelam?
  or they are just herd of sheep just follow the leading sheep ?
in the later case do the sheep really deserve a separate country or just a sheep pen ?

3) Tulf was side lined by LTTE terrorism for the reason that it didn't deliver the results or relieves to the Tamils in 20 years, now LTTE has surpass the arbitrary time limit it imposed and worst still
it push back the progress of the Tamil area more than 20 years backward. they were able to kill the leaders of the TULF for their failure because they were among the people , whom they represented may be partially, but we cannot do that now because the sole reps are hiding in the bunkers from the solely represented due to the fear of same fate of tulf leaders.
isn't it time these supporters of the terrorists use, if they have, the brain?

I  think not only the poets but even the profound genius are born not made.
