Rehabilitation centres for Jaffna
The Government has taken necessary steps to establish two
rehabilitation centres for both men and women in Jaffna to rehabilitate
those surrendees who suspect that they may be killed or abducted.
Another category of people who get arrested on suspicion have to be
kept separately from normal prisoners and rehabilitated to make them
useful citizens.
The related Cabinet Memorandum submitted by Minister of Social
Services and Social Welfare for establishing two Rehabilitation Centre
for surrendees and/or arrested on suspicion was approved by the Cabinet
Meeting this week.
A new court complex is scheduled to be opened in Jaffna October 24,
2007.
The vacated court complex could be converted as one centre. A well
established Youth Council Centre could also be used as a second
Rehabilitation Centre. |
