LTTE not entitled to cemeteries - SL commander

Responding to resolutions taken by various Pradeshiya Sabais earlier in the week to restore Maveerar Thuyilum Illangal - martyr cemeteries - in Kilinochchi, Jaffna Security Forces Commander Mahinda Hathurasinghe said that a 'banned terrorist organisation' like the LTTE could not lay claims to tombs or monuments.

According to Tamilwin, the security around the Thuyilum Illam lands was intensified overnight after the decision, including by barbed wire and increased troop presence.
