What Happened To Those 6000 Persons Out Of 18,657 Who Had Surrendered?

( November 1, 2014, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) In or about June 2014 the Sri Lankan Army has announced that all those who have been either captured by the Army or surrendered before it at the brink of the war would be released 100% from its custody. The Sri Lankan Government initially has in its official report said that the Army had captured 18,657 people as prisoners of war and the said figure has been later reduced to 12,000 persons only for some reasons known to it and therefore the parents of the prisoners of war who have entrusted their sons and daughters on the assurance of their earlier safe return, have been taken aback and they have come to realize that the Government has failed to keep its promise and as a result the parents of the prisoners of war are in utter despair and consternation and await in the fond hope that their sons and daughters would return home safely and we also come across the aggrieved families having laid complaint before the Presidential Commission To Investigate Into Complaint Regarding Missing Persons to find out and secure their sons and daughters. The Natham.com Tamil web site has published a picture on 6.6.2014 which is inserted below and the said picture has purportedly been captured in a mobile phone. We find the 6 persons and a minor boy who are the ones among 22 persons found in the other pictures.
