we welcome this humanitarian gesture even though we dont accept your policies. However this should not be like the pardon given to Tissainayagam who is still under bars.

Hope these children turn out to be useful citizens. Dont let the disunity among the Sinhala politicians be an example to them.

Who are no more a threat to the country is released. Who is still a threat to the national security is jailed .
I don't see any problem with that...

A good gesture. After years of being brain washed, 1 year rehabilitation may not make them good citizens. They need unobtrusive monitoring, understanding and continued support to ensure that they do not drift back.
