Preventing Post-LTTE Violence in Sri Lanka
The Sri Lankan government offered a comprehensive and far-reaching reforms package after the defeat of the two Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna insurgencies by the security forces. The state should therefore offer the same package in a continuation of its policy after the defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam to prevent political violence.
When the government violates the rights of the people, insurrection is for them the most sacred of rights, the imperative of duties.
— Rohana Wijeweera, Leader of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP)
