One day about 40 of them came home and burnt down the shop and my house which was adjoining it. I had to jump from the second floor of the building, when I was seven months pregnant” she said.She also explained how repeated attempts to make a complaint at the Police station proved futile.“ OIC Tissa Gunathilake did not even take our complaints down, that was the extent to which he used Maheepala Herath’s political influence” she said tearfully. A section of her story was published on Tuesday July 30.The village comprises many victims of rape, gang rape, slavery and extortion among many other crimes, who are unwilling to speak out in fear of reprisal.The victims who are speaking out are either victims who have nothing more to lose, or the ones brave enough to face the consequences of such revelation.A female who could not speak from birth showed her left hand when inquired as to who the father of the child was. Villagers described how she was allegedly raped by ‘ Athakota’ previously. She has not married and continues to suffer as a result of the crime.Other villagers who were allegedly raped or gang raped fear social consequences and want to bury their past.“I used to hug my children when I heard screams, this happened very regularly. I could hear females scream; sometimes there were many men who sang songs when this was happening. They bring three wheelers and turn on loud music on other days. It was a party for them” a mother of two living below the alleged  “rape centre” told us.The alleged rapes had taken place in the village dispensary right above her house. The perpetrators had used the dispensary to satisfy their canal needs, out of which some of the stories were detailed in these pages on Tuesday July 30.Each and every villager we randomly spoke to, told us that Athakota was acting under the patronage of Chief Minister Maheepala Herath, his son Kanaka Herath and current Deputy Minister H.R Mithrapala.“They came in Mithrapala’s black Pajero when they attacked our house the second time” Sirikumar told Daily Mirror.- <a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/33170/noori-under-reign-of-terror-a-deaf-and-blind-police-force" target="_blank">http://www.dailymirror.lk/33170/noori-under-reign-of-terror-a-deaf-and-blind-police-force</a></blockquote>
