A refugee from the camp said that over 1.3 lakh Lankan Tamils were brutally killed in the heavy shelling by the Lankan army. “Though the figures of the international agencies and the Lankan government contradict each other, the fact remains that our friends and relatives were killed,” he said.“Even though the war is officially over, there are several thousand Tamils still in holding camps. They should be allowed to return to their land and live free,” he said.
