They did not disregard the international humanitarian laws and even the soldiers at the front lines are well aware about those values - not to kill even an enemy who is fighting for life.

Already, suffering from internal hemorrhage, Priya was carried by a stretcher to the nearest Medical Dressing Station (MDS) where she was given immediate treatment.

Then she was transported in an ambulance for over eight km to the main MDS where the military doctors of the TF-1 gave her treatment for the abdominal injuries.

Giving top priority, the teenage female cadre was airlifted to the Anuradhapura General Hospital for further treatment as she was badly injured. She was later transferred to the National Hospital - Colombo, for further treatments. Priya now awaits a new begin of freedom and life with the same 'foe' she was earlier forced to fight with. Destiny has pronounced well as Priya was saved and given a new hope of life by the same people whom she was taught (by LTTE) 'cruel' and 'aggressive' to her community.
