Traitors should be subjected to severe punishment - JHU

COLOMBO: The Jathika Hela Urumaya in a media statement yesterday signed by its Media Secretary, Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe urged the Government to take stern action against the three suspects who were arrested on February 06 with a large haul of fire-arms and confessed of their direct link with the LTTE organization.

The three suspects who were arrested in the areas of Athurugiriya and Dematagoda, according to their own confessions to the Police, have stated that they have posed themselves as duly accredited journalists and have undergone training in a Tiger camp at Kilinochchi under Kittu Amman, the closest assistant of Pottu Amman, the Head of the LTTE spy network, the JHU statement pointed out.

These suspects who have served the cause of LTTE terrorist separatism for personal benefits, are traitors to the very letter on a par with those who ruined the nation throughout its history.

They deserve no mercy and they should be dealt with under the Prevention of Terrorism Act and subjected to severe punishment since impaling was the punishment for such offenses during the ages of our ancient kings, the statement emphasised.
