Bring justice to Jaffna students without leaving room for communalists – SSU

October 27, 2016 

Two students of Jaffna University were shot dead by police while the students were riding a motorbike and five police officers who were on duty at the time were arrested and remanded.

However, statements made by the police regarding the incident show there is an attempt to conceal the true facts on the incident and the delay in investigations has allowed communalist groups in the North as well as in the South to use the incident as a cat’s paw to spread communalism states a communiqué released by the Socialist Students’ Union (SSU) with the signature of its National Organizer Rangana Devapriya.

The communiqué demands the government to prevent the attempt to sweep the incident under the carpet and take legal action against all those who were involved in the undemocratic act.
