| Kuruna had openly threatened the Sri Lankan media several times in the past. There is public concern over his involvement in some of the violent anti-media campaign.
Guardian correspondent was threatened several times by Karuna’s man Julian since publication of the news. ‘We will kidnap your children in Zurich, and even kill your parents who are in Thirukkovil at the moment and I demand you to stop publishing anything adverse about our Leader Karuna Amman. We will not hesitate to kill you even spending millions because you are writing badly about our leader.”
When Guardian correspondent asked him how many people Col. Karuna had killed when he was with the LTTE, Julian replied: “We will kill all your family members. It is the ultimate target of our leader.”
Veeman is Sri Lanka Guardian correspondent based in Zurich. He is writing for Tamil media for the past several years. He is now working for Sri Lanka Guardian Tamil medium web site -‘Ilankai net’.
Julian’s threatening remarks have been recorded by Guardian correspondent.
