Murder 22nd
August, 2000 Around
10,30pm UNP supporters in three vehicles were engaged in pasting election
posters. Supporters
of the former Minister, Mr. Mahipala Herath arrived in several vehicles
and opened fire upon the UNP supporters at the Molagoda area, between
Mawanella and Kegalle. When the UNP supporters fled in one vehicle, the
road was blocked and the vehicle was fired upon again. Mr.
U.G. Chathura Kumara, aged 19, was murdered in this attack. Two persons
were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Kegalle Hospital. Three other
persons were admitted to the Rambukkana hospital. Nihal
Anura, Lasantha Dharmasena, Kadawattiye Neil, Imtiaz and Kegalle Ranjith
were identified among the assailants. The Jeep belonging to Imtiaz, the
Land Cruiser of the Ranjith Bakery and the truck belonging to Inoka of
Kegalle were also identified as having taken part in the incident. The
Government death squad included some 40 persons. 4th
of September, 2000 Around
4.30pm, after the handing over of nominations, a group of UNP supporters
set off for Akkaraipattu from Ampara. At a junction they were fired upon
by members of the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (a constituent party of the
ruling People's Alliance). Several UNP candidates were also among the
persons who came under attack. UNP
supporter Mr. A. Mohamed Mustafa, a small businessman and father of three
children, was murdered in this attack. Two persons who were injured in the
shooting were admitted to the Ampara Hospital. Another person, who was in
critical condition was transferred to Kandy Hospital. Two other persons
were also admitted to the Akkaraipattu Hospital. Nine vehicles were
damaged in the attack. In
protest against the Government brutality, all shops, Government offices
and schools in Akkaraipattu were closed down on the 5th of September,
2000. Over
200 complaints of elections related violence have been reported to the
Elections Commissioner so far. The majority of these violations have been
committed by members of the ruling People's Alliance Government. These
incidents will be posted to this page shortly. [Large
