Lankan News Replies

Karuna Amman, the Sri Lankan warlord jailed for entering Britain on a falsified visa and diplomatic passport, will not be prosecuted for war crimes and is likely to be deported soon. The former Tamil Tigers leader would not face further charges, the Crown Prosecution Service said yesterday.

Karuna, 45, whose real name is Vinayagmoorthy Muralitharan, has been accused by human rights groups of forcing teenagers to serve as child soldiers, torturing prisoners and killing hundreds of civilians.

He was released from prison last Friday after serving three months for immigration offences. Karuna, whose wife and children live in London, was transferred to a Home Office detention centre.

The Metropolitan police`s war crimes unit has been investigating allegations against Karuna since before Christmas. The police refused to comment yesterday on reports that its officers were denied permission to travel to Sri Lanka to examine evidence against Karuna, who defected from the Tamil Tigers and sought sanctuary with the Sri Lankan government.

The British high commission in Colombo said: `We are deeply concerned that Karuna and his faction have allegedly been responsible for murder and abductions and are still believed to be involved in intimidation and child recruitment.`

The Sri Lankan high commission in London and Karuna were both unavailable for comment yesterday.

Learn to lie properly, less you be called a Singlecellese.
Muslims should keep quiet for now.
You people will bend according to the wind and no one trust you one bit. On top of everything you do not even know how to lie well. Must be a bunch of losers.
