The cells were 8ft in height & 4ft in width with provision for a toilet however captured LTTErs have affirmed that at times upto 15 prisoners had been shoved into a single cell. The VIP POW cells shown to foreign emissaries & NGO heads were a mere whitewash to hide the actual actual prisoner cells that the actual LTTE were maintaining deep in the woodlands of the Wanni manage by Ratnam Master a member associated with the LTTE military intelligence while Gobi was held in charge associated with the captured military personnel.
What is noteworthy about the penitentiary-cum do-it-yourself torture step was that the LTTE used it to do-it-yourself torture their own & many of individuals who had been tortured & killed were Tamils & LTTE members who the LTTE pecking order felt did not tow the line. So a lot for democracy in Tamil Eelaam! Many of these were Tamils who had been accused by the actual LTTE associated with being Government informants. A simple "doubt" or rumor sufficed to end up chained to a single of the actual 24 fortified cells. The structure of the actual cells & fortification of its access & denial of escape was extremely well thought out & far much more sophisticated than the prison chambers operate by Hitler, Pinochet or Pol Pot.
The military lost 26 associated with its brave troopers (18 navy & 8 army) captured over different periods but who were summarily executed in twos on 16th January 2009 prior to the fall of the actual LTTE in May 2009. This was just one instance of the actual LTTE eliminating POW during a time it was trying to pull rabbits from all corners of the actual globe to save itself from annihilation. Nevertheless this act associated with executing POWs goes down as a clear offence under the Geneva Convention since the actual LTTE had used diesel mixed with sugar to ensure no traces associated with bones remained to be identified. It was only after the capture associated with an LTTE enemy supervisor of the actual Vallipunam do-it-yourself torture holding chamber who facilitated the ultimate identification associated with the lifeless military personnel. LTTE's eliminating associated with POWs does not second its cruelty in eliminating its own cadres not necessarily in any penitentiary chamber. A great example is how 50 LTTE injured women cadres were all put into a bus served tea & after locking all doors bombs were fixed killing all 50 associated with these ladies on 8 May 2009. These examples are just a few & whereas example after example have been available internationally the worldwide bodies & authorities did little to stop any of the actual carnage that took place in Sri Lanka throughout 30 years of LTTE terror. If the actual LTTE is responsible for the carnage the world is accountable for the actual silence in watching these atrocities acquire place year in & year out.
Most international laws & conventions primarily hold the STATE as the actual responsible entity for protecting international laws, conventions & the rights associated with the actual individual. It is the actual lack of accountability & international punishment when armed groups start to commit atrocities, acts associated with do-it-yourself torture & cause untold suffering that has increased terrorism globally. Human rights groups & Governments enjoy hollering in opposition to States & accusing it of abuses but what have they done in opposition to terrorists like the LTTE for their offenses & acts of terror that has spanned three decades?
