Huh huh huh
White van strategy wont work in vanni. huh huh huh:) [Media persons are attacked by a special squad under Army Commander Reveals Chief Opposition Whip in the parliament (Lanka-e-News, July 08, 2008, 7.30 PM) Chief Opposition Whip Joseph Michael Perera revealed in the parliament today (08) that the media persons who criticize security forces and expose the frauds in them are attacked by a special squad under Army Commander. Making a special statement on intimidations, abductions and killings of media persons, Mr. Joseph Michel Perera said that he received information from Army itself and challenged to arrest the culprits if he was wrong. The Chief Opposition Whip further pointed out that the state had so far failed to bring at least single culprit before judiciary who were involved in the spate of intimidations, abductions and killings of media persons and other people in Colombo and in the north and east. He said that by allowing these acts to proceed, the government had created a feeling that the government assisted them. Mr. Perera pointed out that Nishantha Gajanayaka, who was arrested after he was named by MP Lakshman Senevirathne as the person responsible for a number of abductions, was released on bail recently by courts and a senior Army official granted him personal bail. Pointing to the contradiction between the statements of the Inspector General of Police and the Police Media Spokesman on white van killer squads, the Chief Opposition Whip challenged the police to name and to initiate legal action on the journalists who got them falsely attacked to seek visa to leave the country. He said that if they failed to so, they were not suitable for the posts and he would inform through the parliament to the National Police Commission to remove them from the posts. Mr. Perera pledged to prove in the future that the current regime was emanating violence covering to war.] |
