Lankan jailed for sexually abusing Canadian boy
The parents of a young boy who was sexually assaulted by an immigrant say the pain of the attack still resonates with their son. He just wants to put it all behind him, lead a normal life, the boy s mother told the Standard-Freeholder. He feels like his freedom was taken away.
Through a Tamil interpreter, Vijitharan Yoganathan from Sri Lanka Tuesday learned of his 90-day jail sentence for sexually assaulting a young Cornwall boy in the fall of 2006. The parents of the assaulted 13-year-old boy said they d hoped for a stiffer sentence, or at least not an intermittent one.
Yoganathan s pregnant wife and some 16 members of Cornwall s Tamil community attended the sentencing, which included a three-month conditional jail sentence, followed by 12 months probation for the 25-year-old.
That a young boy is taken in broad daylight, forcibly confined and sexually assaulted is despicable, said Judge Bruce MacPhee while handing down the sentence.
Yoganathan s wife, who wept openly, appeared relieved to learn the jail sentence will be served on weekends, allowing her husband to continue his work at a Cornwall manufacturer, and support their child, who is expected this summer.

Tigress,
Medical shortage is obviously created by the war between the GOSL and the LTTE, and because Wanni hospitals are flooded with injured combatants. Tiger sympathizers chose to ignore that fact, chose to separate the issues when ever it is convenient. Medical shortage is a common problem to all the Sri lankan hospitals, and we are trying to do our best, while trying to stop weapons smuggled in in the guise of medicine.

day dreaming.
The only ones day dreaming have been some Sinhala so called 'Buddhists' trying to steal the entire island for 60 years.
We will never let you have our homes, leave on your own or we will make you leave, those are your only options.
You may sit there and hoot believing your victories on paper and that spewed out from your various spokespeoples rear ends, but you are no closer to achieving your grand scheme. |

| Mahinda's policy is to reduce the Tamil population of Sri Lanka either with bombs or by sickness. I hope the IC takes note. |

Revy,

Your home is where you can live in peace and harmony with your family and friends. At a higher level, land does not belong to people. But the people belong to the land..you should be able to make your home where ever it is better for enriching the lives of you and your children. |

This is an unfortunate situation but is not uncommon in a war scenario .
LTTE is also complicit in this scenario. They have been for years using govt supplies to turn and attack the gvt . Also they are quite capable of smuggling weapons but would not spend a penny to buy medicines or food for the people they control . The govt has to spend the money to cloth and feed the people the LTTE is controlling at the same time .
that said I am not for any real civillians sufferring due to lack of meds etc .
