Ethnic Cleansing By Decree: The Evicted Tamils of Trincomalee


By Dharman Dharmaratnam

The Mahinda Rajapakse administration issued an Extraodinary Gazette notification today that Mutur East and Sampur are now declared a High Security Zone. It announced a Special Economic Zone in the area under the Board of Investment Law. This would have a land area of 675 square kilometers (260.5 square miles). The 51,450 Tamils who fled Mutur East and Sampur late last year would not be allowed to return. The Government has taken steps to appropriate all private land in the area in an attempt to change the ethnic character of the Trincomalee district. No international wire service nor the BBC covered this news at the time that I draft this opinion piece. The contrast with the earlier coverage of the eviction of Tamils from the Colombo district could not be more stark. The latest gazette notification has grave consequences for the future of the Tamil community in Sri Lanka.
