Sri Lanka’s Rehabilitation Program: The Humanitarian Mission Two
Sri Lanka launched its first terrorist rehabilitation program with the defeat of the Tamil Tiger terrorists also known as the LTTE2 in 2009 - “its time to launch ‘humanitarian mission 02’, to get them back on track with their normal lives”.3 The state considered the terrorist detainees as “misled by the terrorist leadership into engaging in terrorist activity” but nevertheless, “citizens”. The way forward was to rehabilitate the former terrorists with a view towards reintegration into civil society. The multifaceted rehabilitation program was geared towards supporting the rehabilitees to come to terms with their actions within the terrorist movement in a safe environment. The program also studied how terrorist cadres and their leaders denied basic liberties and manipulated their followers during training.
