‘Tamil girls in camps abused by troops’
According to 25-year-old Vany Kumar, who was locked up in a refugee camp for four months, along with many who escaped the horrors of the civil war, not only military guards traded sex for food with Tamil women but prisoners were also being made to kneel for hours in the sun, the Observer reported.
“It was a concentration camp, where people were not even allowed to talk... Girls came to wait for their relatives and military officers would come and touch them, and that’s something I saw. The girls usually didn’t talk back to them, as they knew that in the camp if they talked anything could happen to them... It was quite open, everyone could see the military officers touching the girls”, she said.
Kumar, from Essex, was released from internment in September, but she has waited until now to reveal the full scale of her ordeal in the hope of avoiding reprisals against friends and family held with her.
