Group: Rebels Recruiting Children Soliders |
2005-01-15 |
Tamil Tiger rebels have forcibly enlisted more than 1,000 child soldiers since agreeing in 2003 to release and rehabilitate child fighters already among their ranks, the U.S.-based group Human Rights Watch said Friday. The report came a day after the U.N. Children's Fund said the rebels forcibly recruited three tsunami-affected girls living in camps after the Dec. 26 disaster, although two of the three were later reunited with their parents. |
