"What we have is an unlawful process. And that makes it vigilantism, that makes it vengeance, but it doesn't make it justice". For Amnesty International KP's rendition is a human rights violation. Prof Gunaratna, a close advisor of Sri Lanka's defence secretary, disagrees. In his eyes, the abduction was legitimate and necessary: "There was no other way to do this. KP was the biggest human rights violator". "The government is already planning to bring a number of other people home", he adds. The Tamil community is concerned that Sri Lanka is using the help of other 'friendly' countries to abduct exiled community leaders in a similar way. Though no longer open, the war between the government and the Tigers endures.
