So, human rights violations have spread to Ukuwela as well?

'Soldiers abduct a lady teacher' - usual news! Is this a new job given to these soldiers, at the public's expense?

Triump of Evil... is for Good people to do nothing. At this important juncture, Sri Lanka needs such actions badly..

Whatever said Mervyn has introduced a new concept of punishment although the chaps who abducted the teacher and got caught should have been whipped too!

Idle minds are devils' workshops!

Wow this is true unity against evil. If the whole country is united, we can expel such rowdies out of this country.

Leslie Tuesday, 24 August 2010 12:02 PM

A more fitting punishment would have been to castrate the soldiers.

One tree-tying event does not justify others, wife, mother, sister notwithstanding.

This is a after effects of the war. We may hear more of this type if thing in the future.

Ruwan Ferdinandez Tuesday, 24 August 2010 11:07 AM

What kind of law-of Land will you apply if the woman these rats were trying to abduct was your wife or your mother? Petty politics don't always make sense pal.

Jayasiri Tuesday, 24 August 2010 10:35 AM

Sri-Lankan justice! People do not want to let the law of the land handle the form of punishment because the abductors have the blessings of politicians who are in power.

Smart Aleck Tuesday, 24 August 2010 10:21 AM

Three Cheers for Mervin and his Tree Treatment!
