Ministerial Statement: Humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka

Madam Deputy Speaker, I wish to update the House about the grave humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka.

As members would recall, I delivered a Ministerial Statement on Sri Lanka on 5 February.

At that time, I said that the long-term security and prosperity of Sri Lanka would only be achieved through a political solution or settlement that met the legitimate aspirations of all Sri Lankans.

THE sign on the army spokesman`s wall rang the first alarm bells.

Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara had pinned his statement of faith to a map used to brief journalists visiting Sri Lanka: `It`s the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press,` it began. It went on to say the soldier, not politicians, `ensures our right to Life, Freedom and the Pursuit of Happiness`.

A THOUSAND amputees were among the wounded and dying waiting to be rescued from a beach in northeast Sri Lanka yesterday, according to aid agencies.

Frightened Tamil families, the latest victims of the country`s 26-year civil war, were hiding in makeshift trenches as they came under artillery fire while waiting to be evacuated from Puthumathalan beach.

Last week the International Committee of the Red Cross removed 460 injured and their families from the area, using local fishermen to carry the wounded on wooden dinghies to the Green Ocean ferry leased for the operation. The ferry was due to return last night to rescue more of the injured.

Tissainayagam: always agitated against violence, fought for justice for oppressed
[TamilNet, Friday, 20 March 2009, 12:16 GMT]
In statement made to the Court Friday, senior Tamil journalist J.S. Tissainayagam who has been held in detention for more than a year under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), said: `I was and am still an advocate against terrorism. I have criticized terrorism in whatever form. I never advocated violence, my objective was to generate non violent means of resolving the conflict, my research, writings and work was towards achieving this.` Many international rights groups have called for the `unconditional release of Tissainayagam, who has been subjected to arbitrary court adjournments and is suffering ill health. First anniversary of arrest and imprisonment of Tissaianayagam fell on 7th March.

AUSTRALIA`S counter-terrorism laws have suffered another blow, with the dropping of terror charges against three Melbourne men accused of being members of the Tamil Tigers and providing funds to the Sri Lankan group.

Commonwealth prosecutors yesterday told the Victorian Supreme Court they would not be proceeding with nine terrorism charges from the criminal code against Aruran Vinayagamoorthy, 61, Sivarajah Yathavan, 38, and Arumugam Rajeevan, 48.

PAKISTAN is a country in chaos. The extremist threat is growing, the grip of the fragile democratic government loosening, and the economy is in tatters. The army, a nest of nationalist suspicion over the aims of nuclear rival India, is severely compromised

There are very real worries the country could soon collapse.

This brazen attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team is only the latest marker of Pakistan`s downward spiral. Like the bomb that flattened the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad last September or the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the strike yesterday is a clear sign Pakistan is the world`s most dangerous hot-spot.

Sri Lankan defense sectary failed to pass the Lie Detector test. His false propaganda against LTTE is exposed to the International community. Rajapaksa brothers on genocidal war against Tamils .
