Dear friends, It has been nearly three years since the terrible events that surrounded the end of the civil war in Sri Lanka. We still don't really know what happened but our best guess is that around 40,000 people were killed - the majority by the Sri Lankan Army shelling hospitals and "safe zones", that both the Government of Sri Lanka and the Tamil Tigers committed appalling war crimes, and that responsibility goes all the way to the top. The families of those that died, and those that were tortured, still have not seen justice done - and that is creating more victims. For as the perpetrators of these terrible crimes continue to get away with murder, so a cul…

10:05:00 AM | Posted by Sri Lanka Guardian Weakening Tamil Politics | by Gaja Lakshmi Paramasivam ( 02 March 2012, Melbourne, Sri Lanka Guardian) I write in response to the article in Sri Lanka Guardian ‘Enragement over UN-India stand results in Sumanthiran-effigy in Jaffna’ ’ by P. Sivakumaran. In the article ‘Three Sri Lankas – Sinhala, Tamil and English’, I discussed the way I would identify myself as an individual. Most of us are supported in this through various positions we hold in family, community and society. Tamils are known to be strongly committed to structures and due processes and status is allocated as per our investments in the…

The couple were walking along the road between Borella and Fort when the van stopped and forcibly took them and fled, according to complaints lodged with the Borella Police.

The Conclusion of the long drawn out war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) organization has been welcomed by all sections of Sri Lankan society in particular and the international community in general. Even as war ravaged Sri Lankans breathe a collective sigh of relief and attempt to get on with their lives in a post – war scenario ,it is important to note that the armed conflict’s end does not necessarily mean the national question generally referred to as the “Tamil problem” has been satisfactorily resolved. Among the many aphorisms attributed to the Prussian soldier and military theorist Carl Von Clausewitz the most famous one defining war s…

முடிந்தால் யாராச்சும் தமிழில் மொழி பெயர்க்க முடியுமா? What is Lobbying? What is the difference between advocacy and lobbying? Although most people use the words interchangeably, there is a distinction between advocacy and lobbying that is helpful to understand. When charity organizations such as TRO advocates on their own behalf, they seek to gather resources for a community, whether they appeal to individuals or to national governments about their actions, projects or ambitions. Lobbying refers specifically to advocacy efforts that attempt to influence legislation i.e. law making by the European Parliament. What is the difference between grassroo…

With civilians still suffering and the government revising casualty figures, we need a real inquiry into the Sri Lankan conflict Conor Foley guardian.co.uk, Thursday 16 July 2009 15.30 BST The government of Sri Lanka must be hoping for a similarly credulous reaction to its decision last week to parade the five doctors who witnessed the bloody climax of the country's civil war in May and now claim that they deliberately ove…

Rape and Murder of a Young Mother in Mannar: Ida Camelita, Kantharasa Jeyamalar, Bahiya Ummah, Ehambaram Nanthakumar Wijakala, Sinnathamby Sivamani and now Mary Madeleine share something awful in common.

Neighbors saw three Sri Lanka military personnel near their house around the time of murder but, while the soldiers have acknowledged that they…

- Rajasingham Jayadevan - Tamils all over the world are agitating against the tragedy facing their brethrens in the current war efforts in the north of Sri Lanka. Discounting the LTTE influence, there is real feeling amongst the Tamil people. The anger and frustration within the diaspora Tamil civil society has never been reflected in the scale experienced in the recent years. The tragedy is of course, the government of Sri Lanka projected to finish is operations against the LTTE by the end of December 2008. The Army Commander Lt General Sarath Fonseka’s retirement too was tied to this projection. When the deadline became unachievable, his term too has been exte…

Who Makes War Against Children? Dr. Paul Newman for Salem-News.com Article by Dr. Paul Newman of the United Nations Human Rights Council. (GENEVA) - On the 24th of February, 2013, a panicky letter addressed to the President of the 22nd UN Human Rights Council was sent by Ambassador Ravinatha Aryasinha urging him to stop the screening the of the Channel 4 documentary ‘No Fire Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka’, co-sponsored by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Perhaps the Sri Lankan delegation forgot that it is Geneva, where there is ‘Right to Freedom of Press’, not Colombo, where anyone against the ruling class can be bumped easily. T…

Our mendacious President declared in India that everyone has a right to protest in a democracy. But Tamils are questioned over religious functions and protesters are ducked in dirty engine oil, locked up or disappeared. He claimed to be performing a Suprabhata Seva for Venkateswara. But that seemed farcical given how many Hindu temples have been destroyed by his army. Claiming “a private visit” he reportedly met the head of RAW, Alok Joshi. http://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/who-will-speak-for-tamils-at-unhrc/

Are they western or universal values? by Our Political Editor in Colombo (August 04, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) A scholarly debate has begun in the Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka after the last official visit by Nirupama Rao, who relinquished office as Secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs on 30th July this year. The subject is of great importance not only to diplomats but also to all students of political science. It is whether democracy and human rights are Western values that need not be practiced in developing economies like Sri Lanka? The person who has propounded the new theory is none other than the most powerful person in the c…

Why, the New LTTE Leader Kumaran Padmanathan (KP) Represent the Sri Lankan Government as the Spokesperson? So through lack of awareness, lack of concern or simply because it suites a particular argument to hold on to power, President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his brother Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, is misleading the general public in Sri Lanka by allowing Kumaran Padmanathan to be their spokesperson. They used all available means, printed media, electronic media and the public meetings to mislead the educated and the un-educated people saying that the “dead” LTTE bogy is trying to raise its head again, but use the present LTTE leader to mislead the people. The …

Ranjini was found to be a genuine refugee before ASIO decided last week she is a security risk for Australia. But the government won't tell her why, and now she's facing a life in detention. IT SHOULD have been cause for unbridled joy. Having fled the trauma and tragedy of life in Sri Lanka, Ranjini had been found to be a refugee, married the man who would be a father to her two boys and begun a new life in suburban Melbourne. Now she was pregnant. Instead, confirmation of the pregnancy last Saturday only compounded her feeling of complete and utter despair. It came two days after Ranjini was told, without warning, that she had been deemed a threat to Aust…

The Colombo Telegraph found the related leaked cable from the WikiLeaks database. The cable is classified as “CONFIDENTIAL” and recounts details of a meeting US Ambassador to Colombo has had with President’s advisor and brother Basil Rajapaksa on October 4, 2006. The cable was written by the US Ambassador to Colombo, Robert O. Blake. Under the sub-heading ”President is Keen on Human Rights” Blake wrote “Basil told the Ambassador that the President genuinely seeks the help of the Co-chairs, and the US in particular, to improve Sri Lanka’s human rights capability by lending experts, assisting with inquiries, and building up the indigenous Human Rights Commission (HRC)…

Will New Evidence of War Crimes Tip the Scales Against the Sri Lankan Government On June 14, the British television network Channel 4 broadcast a stunning hour-long documentary presenting footage of horrific abuses allegedly committed by Sri Lankan troops during the last months of the country's war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. The images are graphic and profoundly disturbing. They include the execution of naked, bound prisoners; soldiers laughing and making macabre sexual jokes about women who appear to have been raped before they were executed; and images of bodies in field hospitals and refugee camps, which eyewitnesses said had been deliberatel…
