VIDEO GAME

UBISOFT'S "GHOST RECON PREDATOR"

Please write/email UBISOFT to publically change the venue of this video game to a fictitious location !!

Thank you for your support !!

Dear Ubisoft,

It’s recently come to my attention that your company is on the verge of marketing one of your newest video games, Tom Clancy’s “Ghost Recon Predator” in November 2010, which venue is Sri Lanka, an island nation that has been living under the iron control of oppression for decades and had a brutally violent finish to a three-decade civil war in May 2009.

I cannot imagine that intelligent people such as yourselves cannot be aware of the past and present political situation in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan government, as well as the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam), are righteously accused of grave war crimes, i.e. genocide upon the Tamil people, which to this day have not been resolved, much less sincerely addressed.

Please allow me to enlighten you briefly: Up to more than 40,000 innocent, unarmed civilians were ruthlessly slaughtered during the final phase of the civil war in May 2009 in the Vanni, Mullivaikal. Helpless civilian men, women and children and humanitarian aid workers, who were ordered by the Sri Lankan security forces to go to a designated NFZ in the Vanni, were viciously targeted by the Sri Lankan military and executed. Now I don’t know about you, but it gets my tear flow going each time I write about it, read about it or see the horribly mutilated bodies of these innocent victims.

There are many of us fighting to save Sri Lanka’s people from their tyrannical government. We are fighting for justice and liberation of the Tamil people of Sri Lanka who have been persecuted and targeted victims of a totalitarian regime for far too many years, as well as the Sinhala who are friends and supporters of the Tamils and who are accused by the Sri Lankan government of being traitors. We are fighting for the Sri Lankan government to be held accountable, tried and charged for the atrocities of their war crimes committed against the Tamil people. Since the SL military so valiantly defeated and annihilated the LTTE, and there are few LTTE survivors out there, they, however, cannot be tried.

Thousands of Tamils and Sinhala, who were courageously speaking out against the tyranny, have been abducted, never to be seen or heard from again. There were those brave souls who were simply executed one day or one night…To this day, there are still thousands of IDPs in camps, held against their will, who have lost everything. Most have lost many loved ones and friends. Many are still searching for their families. Those people, who have finally been freed from camps, are currently being forced off their lands, which the Tamils have occupied for thousands of years, in order for the government to build new military bases, military housing and industrial complexes. China is investing billions into Sri Lanka. Tamil children have no schools and have to sit outside under trees while being taught with armed security forces planted firmly behind them.

The Sri Lanka Campaign for Peace & Justice, as well as Amnesty International, is currently in the process of presenting a signed petition to the United Nations to hold the Sri Lankan government in contempt of international criminal court for their lack of cooperation for a transparent unbiased investigation into the accused war crimes.

Without further ado, I respectfully demand in the name of the Tamil people all over the world, that your company change the venue of your new video game “Ghost Recon Predator” to a fictitious island name!

Tom Clancy did not write a book about the “Ghost Recon Predator”, and it is completely uncalled for to have this war game’s setting designated as Sri Lanka.

UBISOFT'S "GHOST RECON PREDATOR"

The people of Sri Lanka are fleeing their country in droves in hopes for a better life, to achieve a measure of safety for their families and to have the opportunity to start over. We who support them in their quest for justice and liberation want to help them get their country back and live in a democratic society. Sri Lankans have been in a living hell for decades and it’s not over. They live in fear 24/7, and all the PR about tourism and the wonderful things the government is doing is just that, PR for the benefit of the international community.

Sri Lanka’s citizens have been so gravely traumatized from decades of abuse and war that it is utterly and completely inhumane, insolent and disrespectful for Ubisoft to even consider naming Sri Lanka as the venue for its “Ghost Recon Predator” video game. It can’t always be all about the profits. As human beings you must have compassion for those who are voiceless, and you must consider and realize the effects of your actions upon a people who have suffered unspeakable and unimaginable pain and loss.

Ubisoft must publically change the venue of Tom Clancy’s “Ghost Recon Predator” to a fictitious location and setting.

Thank you,

Heike Winnig
