There is a entrenched tradition in the island in which violence and persecution of Tamils by state agents, the public or prisoners or a collusion of all enjoys impunity furthering and consolidating the genocidal intentions and actions of the state and their minions. There have been numerous instances of massacres of Tamils who are unlawfully detained in prisons by Racists Sinhalese jailers and prisoners. A Sinhala assistant jailor and Sinhala inmates in the Sri Lankan prison of Anuradhapura have brutally assaulted three Tamil political prisoners, one of them a pastor and another a 60-year-old man, causing serious injuries to them on Wednesday, said Northern Provincial Councillor Ms Ananthy Sasitharan, who described the attack as a targeted racist assault on Tamil inmates at the prison. The Tamil political prisoners are suffering in the Sri Lankan jails. The racist jailors subject them to psychological harassment by putting Sinhala narcotic criminal prisoners in the same cells. The Tamil prisoners are not being treated as human beings in the SL prisons, she said urging immediate international pressure on the Sri Lankan government. tamilnet/art.html?catid=13&artid=37426
