I hope Gota won't be angry with me:))))
Well, did you say anything bad about Mallavi 'victory' or Muhamalai 'victory' by Veerayas? Or did you say anything bad about MR or his brothers, or their wives? or their servents? or their dogs? |

E. Lamaya,
No man, I was wondering why this happened to me:)))
I wasn't listening to the TRUTH yu utter here all the time, I was always believing the PUNNAKKU given by defence.lk.
I was even cheering when SLA captured those Madhu, Thunukkai and Jeewan base toilets. Still no invitation.
Why god why:))) |

Bail refused for journalist Tissainayagam
TamilNet, Tuesday, 26 August 2008, 10:53 GMT
The Colombo High Court Monday refused bail for Sunday Times columnist J.S.Tissainayagam when he was produced in court for the first time after he had been indicted by the Attorney General on three counts under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) and Emergency Regulations (ER), for printing, publishing and distributing the magazine 'North Eastern Monthly' during the period from June 1, 2006 to June 1, 2007 and for making payments or collecting funds from a non-governmental organization to run the said magazine, legal sources said.
Tissainayagam accepted the indictment served on him in the open court.
Thereafter the Defense Counsel Nalin Laduwahetti made an application to court to enlarge his client Journalist Tissainayagam in bail. The Defense Counsel said in his submission that his client Tissainayagam was arrested during the first week of March this year when he went to the Terrorist Intelligence Division (TID) office to see the two suspects Jaseeharan and Valarmathi who had been working in his office and arrested by the TID on March 6.
There were no records that he had attempted to evade the investigation. All fifteen prosecution witnesses listed are police personnel and therefore there would not be any interference with the witness by the suspect.
The Counsel further brought to the notice of the court that his client has been suffering from a rare eye disease and needs regular medical treatment.
State Counsel Sudharsana de Silva objected to the bail application. He argued that the High Court has no jurisdiction to allow an accused charged under the PTA on bail.
The High Court Judge Ms Deepali Wijesundara upheld the objection by the State Counsel and refused bail for Tissainayagam. The Judge further directed the Superintendent of Prisons to produce the suspect before the Prison hospital and provide necessary treatment.
The court fixed the inquiry in the case for September 9.
this is a classic example of misuse of power by state against tamils. |

The Sunday Leader earlier cited a research paper published by the British Medical Journal, which warned that due to errors inherent in normal casualty reporting methods, the death toll from Sri Lanka's war may be higher than 300,000 - opposed to the earlier estimate of 60 to 70 thousand.
With the government's own figures, nearly 16,000 people - of whom just fewer than 2,000 were civilians - have been killed in the past two years of conflict. This year alone over 600 security forces personnel have laid down their lives, in 'return' for the military claiming to have killed some 6,300 LTTE cadres in the same period.
The month of July has been the bloodiest yet, with the government claiming to have iced 1,017 terrorists for the loss of 106 soldiers' lives. These figures were revealed by the Prime Minister to parliament, before the entire government took off on election campaigning work.
The most worrying part of the Prime Minister's statement was that he said 622 - six times the number killed - soldiers were 'injured' in battle. This is not a military that counts a scratch on the arm or a broken toe as an injury. A lot of these soldiers, aged 18 and up, have been hurt so badly that their lives have been effectively shattered.
The stats
Also, if the government claims that nearly 12,000 Tigers have been killed between 2006 to date, surely at least a similar number must also have been maimed?
The Prime Minister's numbers for those killed last month however did not tally with our own records of news releases from the Defence Ministry.
The Ministry doles out the odd news story of a soldier who 'laid his life for the motherland' or 'made the supreme sacrifice' every so often, scattered amongst the banner headlines of all the hundreds of terrorists it is killing every week. The total number of soldiers admitted killed by the military itself in the month of July was just 55, almost half the 106 that Ratnasiri Wickremanayake claims were killed.
