BBC (world service) had a programme on the camps yesterday, 11th September. It made the point that people come to a refugee camp for shelter, and are free to leave whenever they wish.
The camps in the Paradise Isle are prisons, concentration camps. Their "crime" is to belong to a minority ethnic group. The suffering of those who suffered most during the war is made to continue. Thousands and thousands are incarcerated - the rains have set in and, with that, disease - in order to identify a few LTTE cadres.
It is a strange way of winning hearts and minds, one that will not be forgotten, much less forgiven.
