As part of the ongoing militarisation of the Tamil homeland, the Sri Lankan Army conducted a “beauty culture workshop” in Kilinochchi last week, in what they claimed was to “introduce the best practices in beauty culture for young ladies,” according to the Security Forces Headquarters in Jaffna.
The latest event is a continuation of the military interference in day-to-day lives of Tamils in the North-East.
The workshop was reportedly organized by Colonel DMVV Dissanayakeato, the Colonel Admin and Quartering of 55 Infantry Division, Major General RKNC Jayawardena, General Officer Commanding of 55 Infantry Division.
The continued presence of the military in the homeland and their intrusion into the daily lives of Tamils have been repeatedly criticised by international organisations, civil society groups, and local politicians. Despite the criticism, the military continues to invade several different aspects of civil life in the North-East, where tens of thousands of troops remain stationed.
The Tamil North-East remains one of the most miltiarised places in the world, per capita.
