A Guy called TOYOTA has published an Open letter to President and in this letter he is asking for that, Please read the replies in Page 2.
So I put those questions for the people who are asking for a sorry from SL leaders.
Clear ?
it has no value as far as tamil people is concerned. what is the point of saying some empty words and acting contrary to that in reality ah?

Police brutality in Sri Lanka takes on a whole new meaning
A significant problem facing the average Sri Lankan citizen is the real possibility of being illegally arrested, illegally held long past the judicial period of 24 hours and brutally tortured to confess to a crime or crimes they have no knowledge of.
There is a huge list of arrests of this type which anyone from a western culture would dismiss out of hand as being unlikely if not impossible. In any civilised society the police would only arrest a person after making inquiries. That person would not be tortured or pressurised in any manner to make a confession and they would then appear before a court of law. If they wanted to make a voluntary confession, this would happen in the presence of a lawyer. If in the course of the arrest they were injured in any way, they would be offered medical treatment prior to being questioned.
None of this happens in Sri Lanka. The police arrest someone off the street, often beating them up in the process, then take them to a police station and torture them into making a confession. Could this happen in any civilised society? It does happen, on a daily basis in Sri Lanka.
Your article is great, showing the barbarism of Sri Lanka's police system. Even Sri Lanka's torture tactics are far more gruesome than in civilized countries (chili powder into orifices, nails into toes, sodomy, etc.)
The only thing I would add is that you failed to mention that ethnic minority Tamils face the brunt of this harassment and ethnic profiling as is evident in a government ordered 'census' of Tamils in Colombo last week, forcing hundreds of thousands of Tamils to register with the police

Berty Anna,
Can you talk about the compensation the LTTE is ready to give to the Sinhala people killed.
OK for 13, 83 July, and killed about 549 Tamils (or something closer)
then 75,000 for that, where in the world your compensation should go?
What ever the componsation is given to the Sinhalese are given 10 times to the tamils who got caught in 83 July. Please get the details from Central Bank.
Very little is done for the Sinhalese who got killed from LTTE there after

Excellent confession.... Truth is you don't know where you came from!
Lankan sinhalayas came from Orissa (got deported by the king)in North India
Excellent confession... We, Sinhalese know where we came from!!
So India is rightfully ours and India is our ancestral Land...
So we came first and not the Tamils!! Wooo hooo!
