400 rehabilitated LTTE cadres to be released
A batch of 400 ex-LTTE cadres is to be released to mark Dipawali on October 26, after having rehabilitated them with language and vocational training.
Most of the 11,000 former LTTE members surrendered during the last stage of the war in May 2009 have already been released.
The Ministry of Rehabilitation and Prison Reforms said the process of rehabilitation had been quicker than expected with the programme coming to a conclusion before the originally set December 31 deadline.
