Tamil Tigers free 22 child soldiers
Tuesday, April 01, 2008

COLOMBO: Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tigers Monday said they had released 22 child soldiers and disputed figures from the United Nations Children’s Fund that the rebels still had hundreds of under-age fighters.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) said they were also trying to locate families of 20 children still within their ranks. The guerrillas accused UNICEF, which lists several hundred children in LTTE ranks, of not updating its database. The rebels said another 41 child soldiers remained within their ranks but could not be released because most of them did not have parents or guardians.

Over the last two decades, the Tigers have promised to free children from their rank and file, but they have been accused of failing to take concrete action.

“Thugs attack Birmingham army cadets”
Mar 31 2008 By Tony Collins

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “AN army cadet instructor in Birmingham claims his young charges are being targeted by stone-throwing thugs who are angry at the uniform they wear.

Sgt Billy Mazella of the Army Cadet Force, based in Washwood Heath, claimed they were having to put up with systematic abuse by gangs of local youths, who seemed to target the cadets because of events in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The incidents of stone-throwing, vandalism and verbal abuse have escalated during recent months following the removal of a CCTV camera near their hut in Washwood Heath Road.

They mirror events in Peterborough where personnel from RAF Wittering have been ordered not to wear their uniform in public following months of verbal attacks, believed to be linked to current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sgt Mazella, aged 20, who became a cadet eight years ago, said potential recruits were being put off because the thugs targeted open day events attended by the would-be ‘squaddies’ and their parents.

He said: “The cadets and myself regularly get bricks, stones and even fireworks thrown at us as missiles.

“Our vehicles have been damaged and also our parade grounds at times.

“For around six months there was a camera on a lamppost outside the detachment facing towards a block of flats which are always the source of the trouble. But, since the camera has been removed the trouble has progressed and is now really bad.”

The instructor, one of three with the Washwood Heath detachment, said the offenders appeared to be Asian who are aged as young as ten.”
