LTTE air wing: How it began and what it means October 2005 shooting down of UAV should have set off alarm bells Repeated Sunday Times disclosures were buried in denials By Iqbal Athas An incident in the skies over Wanni in October 2005, just months after it came to be known that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had built an airstrip and acquired light aircraft, seems the first occasion when the guerrillas demonstrated their air capability. Yet, the implications of this encounter, strange enough, were buried in denials both from the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). These came after an Israeli built Searc…

Bastille Day honors the rebellion that sparked the French Revolution On July 14, France celebrates the anniversary of the day revolutionaries rose up against the monarchy and seized one of its most potent symbols. July 13, 2020 When angry commoners stormed the Bastille in Paris on July 14, 1789, they struck a blow against one of the monarchy’s most forbidding symbols. The infamous prison no longer exists—it was destroyed in a bout of revolutionary fervor a few months later—but its legacy can still be felt in celebrations across France on Bastille Day, or la Fête Nationale (the national holiday), the anniversary of one of the defining moments of …

He that Steals an Egg will Steal an Ox. By the time this piece appears in print on Sunday 13th, Parliament would have decided on the CJ issue; to either vote for her impeachment or obey the courts’ determination that the Parliamentary Select Committee’s finding is null and void. If Parliament chooses to impeach the CJ, it would be a brazen violation of the Constitution and will kill any semblance of democracy the country has maintained despite the curtailment of the press, buying of MPs, election violence, and many cabinet members being implicated in murder. The Sixth Amendment fiasco of 1983 that disfranchised Tamils and provoked Tamil militancy seems unnecessary …

An asylum and immigration tribunal on Monday upheld an appeal by a Sri Lankan refugee known only as Mr LP. The ruling is also intended to offer guidance for similar cases in the UK.

Despite many expecting a ‘naming and shaming’ in the content of the UN report on Sri Lanka, UN sources in Geneva state that the names of individuals accused of perpetrating the alleged abuses during the final phases of the conflict in Sri Lanka were never intended to be published in the report. Sources told Daily Mirror that the names of the accused were never intended to be included as part of the report as the OISL (OHCHR investigation on Sri Lanka) was a human rights investigation and not a criminal inquiry. It was pointed out that in the case of Sri Lanka; comparatively few lists were submitted to the investigation panel and that too through zonal investigation …

Nearly 2,500 drivers have been hit with fines for using road lanes reserved for London 2012 Olympics VIPs, transport bosses have said. Transport for London figures show that £312,000 has been paid by drivers who were caught driving in the Games Lanes, despite being given a six-day period of grace when they were first introduced. Only warnings were issued in that time to give drivers a chance to get used to the idea. The 30 miles (48km) of lanes, used to transport athletes, officials and the media, were brought in on July 25. But last week, London mayor Boris Johnson admitted that many of the lanes had been “turned off” because they were not needed because so …

The Eelam Tamils have trod a careful path wondering if the new government can change their fate.

In 1990, Mahinda Rajapaksa was arrested at Colombo airport trying to smuggle dossiers on the "disappeared" out of Sri Lanka to the United Nations in Geneva. Rajapaksa, then an rising politician from the country's south, worked to organize the mothers of the "disappeared" during an insurrection of 1988-90, when more than 16,000 people went missing. Today, Rajapaksa is Sri Lanka's sixth president, leading a government accused of egregious human rights abuses. Since fighting between government forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam resumed in full vigor in mid-2006, civilians have become the primary target - not just in direct clashes but in the insidious "dirty w…

India is not likely to make a response to the contents of the report of the United Nations high commissioner for human rights on Sri Lanka, as it mainly waits for the language of the resolution being drafted by US and western nations. On Wednesday, the landmark report on the last few years of Sri Lanka’s civil war was tabled in Wednesday, which called upon the setting up of “hybrid” courts with international and Sri Lankan lawyers and jurists to probe and address human rights violations by security forces and Tamil tigers. Incidentally, the UN human rights commissioner Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein said that the report does not conclude that a “genocide” had been committed …

Intellectuals for Human Rights (IFHR) in its report for this year said the Human Rights situation in Sri Lanka has suffered a major setback in the first 10 months with the rule of law, individual liberty and the independence of the Judiciary having received an unprecedented beating. According to the report issued yesterday to coincide with United Nations Human Rights Day, 148 females were murdered and 408 raped during the period under review, but only 10 cases had been filed in courts. The rise of the extrajudicial killings and inhuman torture clearly indicates the lack of respect of society for legal procedures and the rights of the citizens. It symbolizes the lawles…

“The Cardinal never even visited our church or spoke to our children. He came directly to the Navy Head Quarters for the meeting and left soon after. On my way to the meeting, it was pouring with rain. As I was exhausted when passing my old home, I asked a Navy officer there if I could take shelter from the rain there as it was where I used to live. He refused and told me that I’d better continue on my way,” said a village elder in desolation. “Whatever they (the Government) are offering you, please accept, as I will come forward as your guarantor,” said His Eminence Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith to the people of Mullikulam, at the outset of the meeting[1] held …
