Now, it is time to release all the suicide bombers, black tigers.
Becuase, in Sinhale, Only Tamils have human rights. Sinhala people should just obey the Tamil needs.
These politicians are worse than the worst robbers in Sri Lanka

Come on Rambuttan,
That is unfair. It was a cheap hotel and infested by Prostitutes located in the red light area.
Who asked you to try to go into the next room?
Media Minister Keheliya Rambukkwella, who returned to the country this morning from Melbourne, Australia, is going to sue the hotel he stayed at in Melbourne for the injuries that occurred due to a mishap at the hotel four months ago.
Addressing a press conference in Colombo the Minister said I am going to take legal action against Hotel Como in Melbourne, where I was injured while staying at the hotel, as the hotel should be held responsible for the accident.
According to media reports Minister Rambukwella was injured in February this year after he fell from a balcony while trying to alert the hotel staff that he got locked out while on the balcony. The mishap occurred while he was on a private visit to Australia and he was admitted to a hospital in Melbourne where he had to undergo several surgeries. (SAJ)

The United States has said that unlawful killings by security forces and government-allied paramilitary groups are a major human rights problem in Sri Lanka, often in the predominantly Tamil areas.
The 2011 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices published by the U.S. State Department stated that The major human rights problems were unlawful killings by security forces and government-allied paramilitary groups, often in predominantly Tamil areas, which led many to regard them as politically motivated, and attacks on and harassment of civil society activists, persons viewed as Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) sympathizers, and journalists by persons allegedly tied to the government, which created an environment of fear and self-censorship.
Releasing the report today at the State Department Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said these human rights reports United States Government makes clear to governments around the world that they are being watched.
'We are watching and we are holding you accountable,' she said adding that the U.S. makes clear to citizens and activists everywhere: 'You are not alone. We are standing with you.'
The report also stated that the Sri Lankan government prosecuted a very small number of officials implicated in human rights abuses but had yet to hold anyone accountable for alleged violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law that occurred during the conflict.
'Official impunity for a wide range of human rights abuses, particularly in cases of police torture, corruption, and attacks on media institutions, was a problem.'
The report recognized that although enforced and involuntary disappearances continued to be a problem, the number of such disappearances appeared to have declined from previous years.
The Report recognized the government's plans to relocate and expand several prison facilities and its collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to modernize the prison system.

Children were kidnapped, brain-washed then put into action as fighters or suicide bombers.
Can we hold them responsible for their actions??? No. |

Six held plotting to smuggle Lankans stranded in Togo
May 25, 2012 04:21 pm After six Sri Lankan men arrived in the African nation of Ghana to crew a large fishing vessel, they realized they were being watched. The revelation caused them to flee north by land, from Ghana s largest port, towards the border with Burkina Faso, an area known for its crocodiles.
There they were arrested and accused of plotting to fill that fishing boat with Sri Lankan migrants currently stranded in neighbouring Togo, and help them complete their haggard, blackmarket journey to Canada.
The would-be passengers were some of the 209 Sri Lankan migrants who fled their homeland following a long civil war by paying smugglers to take them to Canada, but after travelling through India and Ethiopia were abandoned in Togo in November. They were taken into custody and kept in an open sports stadium in Lom , Togo s capital
After all Africa is tamil's home land ne! |
