Forced child recruitment a looming crisis in Vanni

Amidst continuous allegations by the UNICEF on 1,591 outstanding cases of LTTE child recruitment up to end May 2007, civilians fleeing the non-liberated areas in Vanni are testifying about increased abductions and forced recruitment campaigns by the terror outfit.

The latest was recorded when five Tamil civilians including three children urged protection from the security forces against the LTTE treachery experienced in the non-liberated patches north of Mannar.

The Tamil family originally from the non-liberated Vidattaltivu area, included three children (two boys and a girl), between the ages of 09 to 17.
