[Marxism] Sri Lanka's camps developing like Nazi concentration camps



*Food parcels were thrown to people after making them run like dogs, and two
children were killed in the melee in the barbed-wire camp at Menik Farm,
Vavuniyaa. A 12-year-old boy on Monday and a 7-year-old boy on Tuesday were
crushed to death in the melee, media sources in Vavuniyaa said. Meanwhile,
around 300 Tamil youth from several camps in the area were forcefully taken
by the Sri Lanka army, in the name of arrest, amidst protests of family
members on Tuesday. Recently, 60 people have died of sickness in the camps,
the sources further said. A total of 154,368 Vanni civilians are in
captivity by the SLA up to Wednesday and out of them, 90, 181, were captured
after 20 April.*

“The pattern is typical of the Nazi concentration camps, questioning the
credibility of all the ‘international guardians’ who wanted the civilians to
end up in camps in the name of the freedom of movement of people”, said a
Tamil official in Vavuniyaa.
