Many are believed to be fishery folks, forced to provide labour in the barren stretch of land. Dozens of women and children are also believed to be further confined in petite spaces with worst living conditions of any nature.Military officials state that the precision air strikes on Tuesday(02), has caused grave damages to the LTTE and these sudden misinformation campaigns are used to conceal the true facts of its existing child soldiering farms in Mannar.Thus, the International community must urge the LTTE to facilitate humanitarian organisations and independent media sources from gaining verified claim from the area.Women and children were believed held captive in human farms, while the males provided labour through hardships in the military construction sites of the LTTE.Meantime, the SL Government urged the Co-Chairs to take necessary steps against the SLMM's sudden decision, to remove seven of its offices in the North and East, slackening the terror outfit to continue its freelance crimes against humanity and forcible conscription of child soldiers to its ranks.A government official said that it is imperative that both the LTTE and the SLMM take all measures to fulfil their obligations under International law to protect civilians in the Internally Disturbed areas. The official further said that "We have too often seen the SLMM agents fall short in its duties.""The security forces were flexible and pragmatic in all of its actions and the dedication to resolve this internal disturbance situation in the country is greater than ever"."Pro-terrorist agents under the LTTE payroll in Colombo are plummeting with harsh and unfair critics against the security forces. These allegations over the years have proven to be false with lack of accountability and ethical lapses" he further added.Meantime, Bishop Rayappu Joseph's reactions harping sympathy for a terrorist outfit has raised unsolved doubts within the general public. When, the Tigers wantonly shelled the holiest Roman Catholic shrine in Sri Lanka, namely, the Madhu Church on 20th November 1999, killing 38 refugees and injuring 60, Bishop Rayappu Joseph's reaction was not to accuse the Tigers of cold blooded murder and the desecration of that shrine, but to attack the Army personnel for having been there [Indian Express 21.11.99] and to accuse the Army of using the refugees as "human shields [BBC News 22.11.99].Meanwhile, the United Nations calls once more for a cessation of hostilities between the SL government and the LTTE outfit and resumption of peace talks and recalls the responsibility of all parties to the conflict to protect civilians and uphold international human rights and humanitarian law.Full text of the UN official press release:<img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20070103_01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
