UNICEF says the Karuna group is conscripting children

UNICEF says the Karuna group is conscripting children, with 30 cases verified in one week in June alone.

"What we have seen is recruitment by a new faction, the Karuna faction, with fairly significant numbers recruited between the months of April and June," said JoAnna VanGerpen, the UNICEF representative in Sri Lanka. "It was off in July but now we're hearing new reports again of recruitment. This is a very unfortunate development."

Ross from Human Rights Watch says it is very worrying that the government apparently is complicit in the Karuna group's conscripting of children.

"The fact that abductions appear to be taking place in Batticaloa area by the Karuna Group, and the camps in which these children who are abducted have been taken are in areas of government control, that is government involvement in this activity," said Ross. "And that's what we're concerned about."
