பிரிட்டிஷ் துணைத் தூதுவரின் கிளிநொச்சி விஜயம் ஒத்திவைப்பு பாதுகாப்புக் காரணம் நிமித்தமாகவா?

கொழும்பு,மே 3

இலங்கைக்கான பிரிட்டிஷ் துணைத் தூதர் லெஸ்லி கிரேக் இன்று கிளிநொச்சிக்கு மேற்கொள்ளவிருந்த விஜயம் ஒத்திவைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளதாக பிரிட்டிஷ் தூதரக வட்டா ரங்கள் தெரிவித்தன.

துணைத் தூதர் இன்று கிளிநொச்சி சென்று விடுதலைப் புலிகளின் அரசியல் துறைப் பொறுப்பாளர் சு.ப.தமிழ்ச்செல்வன் தலைமையிலான குழுவினரைச் சந்தித்துப் பேச்சு நடத்துவார் என்று முன்னர் அறிவிக்கப்பட்டிருந்தது.

பிரிட்டிஷ் பிரதித் தூதுவரின் விஜயம் பிற்போடப்பட்டுள்ளதாக நேற்று மாலை தூதரக வட்டாரங்களால் தெரிவிக்கப்பட் டது. ஆனால் அதற்கான காரணம் வெளி யிடப்படவில்லை.

பாதுகாப்புக் காரணங்களுக்காக வன்னி செல்ல வேண்டாம் என அரசுத் தரப்பு அறி வுறுத்தியதன் பேரிலேயே அவர் விஜயத்தை ஒத்தி வைத்தார் என்று தகவல் ஒன்று தெரி வித்தது? எனினும் அத்தகவலை ஊர்ஜிதம் செய்ய முடியவில்லை.

கடந்த மாதம் 23ஆம் திகதி நோர்வே தூதுவர் ஹான்ஸ் பிரஸ்கர் வன்னி செல் லத் திட்டமிட்டிருந்ததும் அரசு தடை விதி தால் நிறுத்தப்பட்டதும் தெரிந்தவையே

COLOMBO (AFP) - Britain has frozen aid to Sri Lanka in a bid to pressure the government to improve its human rights record, officials said.

Prime Minister Tony Blair's special peace envoy, Paul Murphy, is also planning a visit to Sri Lanka, a former British colony, in bid to help salvage the moribund peace process, diplomatic sources said.

Murphy last visited in November and held talks with President Mahinda Rajapakse as well as the leadership of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in the rebel-held town of Kilinochchi.

However, a visit by a group of British diplomats to Kilinochchi Thursday for fresh talks with the Tigers was cancelled after the Sri Lankan government told them to put off the visit, official sources said.

The British High Commission spokesman declined to give details, but said the planned meeting with the Tigers was "connected to the peace process."

Sri Lankan officials said Colombo asked the envoys to delay the visit due to security considerations. Last month, the government made a similar request to peace broker Norway's top envoy Hans Brattskar.

London's concern over the escalating violence in Sri Lanka was discussed in the House of Commons on Wednesday, when both the Colombo government and Tamil Tiger rebels came in for heavy criticism.

A freeze on foreign aid to Sri Lanka was announced by Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for International Development Gareth Thomas, who said half of Britain's financial assistance to Sri Lanka was being withheld.

A High Commission spokesman said Britain's debt relief to Sri Lanka this year was three million pounds (5.9 million dollars), but half of it was being withheld because of rights concerns.

"The high commissioner (in Colombo) urged the Sri Lankan government to respond to and address our concerns," Thomas said in London Wednesday. "Further debt relief payments cannot be made until that happens."

The Norwegian-backed peace efforts began unravelling from December 2005 when the Tamil Tigers and government forces began their latest wave of fighting, ignoring a truce put in place in February 2002.

More than 4,800 people have been killed in fighting since December 2005, according to Sri Lanka's defence ministry.

Britain has banned the Tamil Tigers since 2001 and has stepped up moves to block foreign funding for the guerrillas, while at the same time mounting pressure on Colombo to clean up its rights record.

More than 700 people have "disappeared" in the past year and security forces and para military units have been accused of extra judicial killings, abductions and extortion.
