கனடாப் பாராளுமன்றத்தில் இலங்கைப்பிரச்சனை பற்றிய கருத்துக்கள் Hon. Albina Guarnieri (Mississauga East—Cooksville, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, recent attacks on civilians by the Sri Lankan armed forces have reached a level of atrocity. In Mannar, navy troops lobbed hand grenades into a Catholic church where hundreds of refugees were huddled. Last week the Sri Lankan army raided a Tamil home, leaving the family hacked to death, with their seven and nine year old children hanged and disembowelled in a manner aimed to terrorize the local population. When will the government protest the latest wave of military atrocities in Sri Lanka? Mr. Deepak Obhrai (Parliamentary…

Indian and Eelam Tamils are Hindu terrorists: Musharraf. [ Gjd;fpoik, 27 bnrk;gH 2006 ] [ fpU;zg;gps;is ] Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf says he is against use of the term Islamist terrorists or "Islamo-fascists" as such labelling can then be used for other terrorist outfits as well, like the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka who are Hindus. "Does one call terrorists in Sri Lanka Hindu terrorists? Why is Pakistan's bomb called an Islamist bomb? Why is India's bomb not called a Hindu bomb and that of Israel as a Jewish bomb?" Musharraf asked. "Pakistani people are certainly for fighting terrorism, but they somehow are not happy with relations with the United S…

LONDON (AFP) - Amnesty International said on Tuesday that there were armed groups roaming camps for displaced people in the eastern Sri Lankan district of Batticaloa, and kidnapping residents. Citing its own sources, which it did not identify, Amnesty said that some of the groups were part of the Karuna faction -- a breakaway rebel group -- and their presence in the camps were tolerated by Sri Lankan authorities because of the group's help in the military campaign against Tamil Tiger rebels. The London-based human rights group's warning came as government security forces continued their offensive into a Tiger stronghold that extends from Batticaloa to the neigh…

No one knows how many thousands of people died in Sri Lanka in 2009, the year that marked the end of a decades-long struggle between the Sri Lankan government and the secessionist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (known more commonly as the Tamil Tigers). Certainly, it was one of the bloodier conflicts that the world has witnessed in recent decades. But no one outside Sri Lanka really seems to care. After years of bitter conflict between the two sides, one that witnessed the inaugural use of the suicide belt in the 1980s, the Sri Lankan government launched a no-holds-barred offensive against the Tigers in the latter years of the last decade, resulting in enormous carn…

Young Lanka caught between delusion & a deity RADHIKA RAMASESHAN Kandy, July 25: In a seminar hall at the prestigious Peradeniya University in this former capital of Sri Lanka, students, teachers and Buddhist clerics assemble to answer queries from visiting Indian journalists. Most of them expectedly relate to the over two-decade Sinhala-Tamil conflict and, with no resolution in sight, what this means to a generation that has grown up after the 1983 ethnic riots. Tania Ekanayake was born that year. The trouser and shirt she wore, instead of the regimented, mostly black coloured full-length skirts slit a wee bit on the back, marked her out as a member of…

EU says Tamil Tigers 'terrorists' Tamils in Europe are a source of funds for the Tigers The European Union has decided to add the Sri Lankan separatist group, the Tamil Tigers, to its list of banned terrorist organisations. The decision taken by ministers in Brussels means Tamil Tiger assets in the EU's 25 states will be frozen. Recent violence in Sri Lanka has destabilised a ceasefire signed four years ago with the government. Washington earlier took similar action against the Tigers, saying it wanted to cut off their access to arms and money. Correspondents say Europe's Tamil diaspora is a valuable source of funds for the Tigers. Th…

12 surprisingly high-paying part-time jobs Making ends meet can be difficult, even with full-time work, particularly if you live in a big, expensive city like Toronto or Vancouver. Time magazine has just published a list of part time jobs “that pay lots of money,” something we have also done in the past, so we thought we would revisit the topic by sharing a couple from Time’s list (to be honest, some of their jobs don’t actually pay all that well) along with our own previous list, to give you a veritable cornucopia of part-time job options. Maybe your hours have been cut, or maybe your bills are already covered but you want more cash for vacations, shoes and ga…

By Nirmala Kannangara Controversy surrounds over how an owner of a small telecommunication centre became a millionaire within a short span of six years. Complaints have been lodged recently with the Commission to Investigate Bribery or Corruption against the leader of the National Freedom Front and former Minister of Housing and Construction Wimal Weerawansa. After the complaint was lodged, startling revelations have come out how Weerawansa is enjoying a super luxury life and questions have been raised as to how the former minister accumulated such a vast wealth within no time when his sole income was the ministerial salary and the other perks a government minister is e…

Naar verwachting zal de EU de procedurele fout direct herstellen door een nieuw besluit. Het Hof haalde eerder om dezelfde formele reden een groep Iraanse vr…
