A commemoration ceremony was held at the Ampara Police Superintendent’s office today in memory of the 652 police officers killed by the LTTE in 1990. They were from Akkaraipattu, Kalmunai, Samanthurai and Pottuvil. The police officers who had surrendered to the LTTE were taken to the Rupaskulam Forest in Thirukkovil and shot dead.
