Kokkadichcholai massacre can never be forgotten by anyone!

Kokkadichcholai massacre is one of the massacres that can never be forgotten in the history of Eelam Tamils. Not merely the Eastern Eelam, entire Eelam was startled by this massacre. The whole world was shaken up due to this brutal massacre. 29 years passed since this massacre committed with the intention of committing genocide on Eelam Tamils

Kokkaddicholai village is situated at the Munmunnai Southwest Divisional Secretariat in Batticaloa district. This is a very beautiful agricultural village where Kokkadicholai Thantnonrishwaram temple located.

This village was soaked in the blood by this massacre which is also remembered with the name of Prawn Culture Farm Massacre. Kokkaddicholai massacre is one of the cruelest genocidal atrocities orchestrated and committed by the former President J.R.Jeyawardene.

This massacre was committed by the government Special Task Force on 28th, 29th and 30th of January in 1987. More than 150 innocent civilians were barbarously murdered and 12 went missing in this massacre which soaked the entire Kokaddicholai area in blood. Air strikes were also launched while the Kokaddicholai area was being encircled by the government Special Task Force.

Those who were working in the Prawn Culture Farm located in between Makiladitivu and Munmunaithurai were firstly killed in this massacre committed by the government Special Task Force. Manalaru Vijayan, the veteran writer, wrote in his book stating that the Prawn Farm became blood farm on that particular day when this massacre committed. Many were barbarously clubbed and hacked to death. These innocent civilians were shot and killed. The bodies were later burnt on piles of old tires by the barbaric Special Task Force.

This bloody massacre which started at Prawn Culture Farm spread to the villages such as Mudalikuda, Munaikadu, llupadichenai, Thandiady and Mahiladitivu. The operations zone had been virtually sealed off. Several other innocent civilians who tried to cross by boat were killed when they were attacked from helicopters.

Deaths were door to door. Those who were brutally killed in this massacre were relatives. Several others killed in a same family. This massacre can never be forgotten in the history. This massacre became a scar in the Eelam history. Sri Lankan Special Task Force destroyed all those innocents except for a few individuals.

Many civilians who were arrested by the Special Task Force in this massacre had been barbarically murdered after being tortured, some of the survivors testified. It is much better to state that 29 years passed since the justice for this massacre is yet to be gained rather than stating that 29 years passed since the massacre took place. 29 years passed since the Kokkatticholai massacre took place same as the investigations on the genocidal massacres committed against Eelam Tamils are being dragged on.

This massacre brought the cruel face of the Sri Lanka to the bright light in the international arena. The late parliamentarian Joseph Pararajasingham drove the international attention by voicing justice against this massacre committed on Tamils. This massacre was internationally spoken due to the indeavors made by Joseph Pararajasingham. Therefore the JR government staged a drama show.

The commission appointed by JR found that the commanding officer negligent in controlling his troops and recommended that he be removed from office. The commission also identified Sri Lankan military as responsible for mass murder. But, JR government gave promotion to the military officers who are responsible for this massacre instead of punishing them despite the presidential commission recommended that those officers would be punished. Thus, JR government encouraged the genocide on Eelam Tamils.

The remembrance of Kokkatticholai massacre is observed annually in Eelam and around the world. This remembrance event is held today at Kokkaticholai hall in Batticaloa. In addition, special prayers for the souls of those who were barbarically murdered rest in peace are observed in the temples.

This massacre was well orchestrated and committed with the intention of wiping out the Tamils from their native Batticaloa soil. Kokkatticholai massacre is the military operation with a political motive. This well-orchestrated genocide committed by the genocidal Sri Lankan government is continued as the unhealed scar in the hearts of Eelam Tamils.
