The United Nations has accused the Sri Lankan military and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) of recruiting child soliders.

The international body says thousands have been kidnapped from their villages and forced into the 25-year conflict.

The government says it has been taking steps to help child soldiers who were captured or surrendered on the battlefield.

David Hawkins reports from a rehabilitation centre in Ambepussa in central Sri Lanka.

  • People in SriLanka ????????

    Every time a bomb went off we wondered who would be dead !

    That comfort of not having bombs planted in Busy streets itself is agift of the Lord !

    I live in Wellawatta and thank god there is LTTE no more !

    I am the one who face the music over here !

    Thosewho are crtical on this issue sit in the comfort of abroad and send money to these animals to kill my own kids and the innocent in the neighbourhood !

  • annaa..sri lankan govenment is there to satisfy sri lankan pples needs.but not the need of international meadia!!..our pple in sri lanka come first, ..our pple in sri lanka don`t trust inter:media..sorry! we rules!!

  • why don't you freeking sla internasionl midia to looked after war zone and than talk about who done genoside who and who have child soldiers who rep INTERNASIONALY GIRL

  • There will be peace, prosperity and democracy for the first time in the North and the East, and freedom from terror. And for this, our people will owe forever a debt of gratitude to our soldiers who died fighting the kind of war that nobody has ever won in this kind of situation.

  • Ok Try Again.

    Want same Fuck ?!

  • i find it very funny when tamil tiger supporters in th west complain of human rights abuse by sri lanka to their white masters, when the fighters they use to fund and support killed fo many sinhalese and muslims villagers in the eastern province. its a good lesson for u diaspora....no body supported u bcos LTTE broke every internatinal HR laws.

  • Sri Lanken brain washing Tamils youths.

    Sri Lankan State Terrorism killed over 20,000 civilians in the last four days of the war. They killed 35,000 babies and woman to capture 7,000 tiger soldiers. Other countries that sponsor state terrorism like Cuba, Iran, China, and Russia blocked the rest of the world from charging SL Gov with war crimes. This doesnt mean its the end of it.  Rajapacsa brothers will pay. There is no other choice but to take up arms again.

  • gOVERNMENT OF SRI LANKA = TERRORIST ORGANIZATION

    LEADER = OSAMA BIN RAJAPAKSE

  • i know that amnesty international and human rights watch, they have both said that both sides have been guilty of violating human rights. that sounds right to me, since nobody's perfect. but i know the sri lankan president says that those organizations are over-exagerrating what the govt. has done. can either of you help me to know what's true?

  • Stop telling lies to the world.We did not kill thosands of tamils.Search it from the google.anayone can see the truth.

    Now its over.LTTE is over.
