Mannar bishop condemns killing of former LTTE policeman

The Bishop of Mannar, Rayappu Joseph condemned the killing of a former LTTE police officer by unidentified gunmen on Wednesday night, and called on the international community to ensure an end to extrajudicial killings.

"[The latest killing] is an apparent bid by the gunmen to create a fear psychosis among the war-ravaged people in the North once again," the Mannar bishop was quoted as saying by Colombo Mirror.

“It is incumbent on the part of the international community to put a stop to all these extra-judicial activities and ensure justice for the Tamil people," the bishop added.
