ஒட்டுக்குழுக்களுக்கு மறைமுகாமாக ஒத்தாசை தந்த கோத்தா - விக்கிலீக்ஸ்

ஈ.பி.டி.பி., கருணா குழு கீழ்வரும் தமிழ் மக்களுக்கு எதிரான செயல்களில் ஈடுபட்டன - 18MAY 2007 - அமெரிக்க தூதுவராலயம்

-- கொலைகள்

-- ஆள் கடத்தல்

-- பணம் பறித்தல்

-- விபச்சாரம்

"நாங்கள் செய்ய முடியாததை அவர்கள் செய்கிறார்கள்" - கோத்தா

The leading summary paragraphs follow:

Paramilitaries such as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)-breakaway Karuna group and Eelam People's Democratic Party (EPDP) have helped the Government of Sri Lanka (GSL) to fight the LTTE, to kidnap suspected LTTE collaborators, and to give the GSL a measure of deniability. The GSL, which denies any links to paramilitary groups, has recently touted its efforts to improve its human rights record, such as the re-publication of procedures on arrests and detentions and the appointment of a "One-Man Commission" to investigate reported disappearances.

However, these efforts so far appear aimed more at improving Sri Lanka's image abroad and have yet to produce concrete improvements in the human rights situation. Outside the capital, the incidence of human rights abuses has continued, including extrajudicial killings, abductions, child trafficking, extortion, and prostitution.

President Rajapaksa's government, strapped for cash, has cut direct payments to paramilitaries initiated by former President Kumaratunga and instead turns a blind eye to extortion and kidnapping for ransom by EPDP and Karuna. While many of the charges against the government have been made in public fora, a growing number of trusted Embassy contacts, often at personal risk, have described in detail the extent of the GSL's involvement with paramilitary groups.

On Gotabaya Rajapakse's, a US-citizen, criminal activities the cable says, "Defense Secretary Gothabaya Rajapaksa has authorized EPDP and Karuna to collect the money from Tamil businessmen. This may account for the sharp rise in lawlessness, especially extortion and kidnapping, that many have documented in Vavuniya and Colombo. Even though EPDP and Karuna are each comprised nearly exclusively of ethnic Tamils, the crimes that they commit are almost always against other Tamils."

பொன்சேகா வெல்வதை அமெரிக்கா விரும்பியது மகிந்தாவை விட 22 June 2010

US Ambassador in Colombo Patricia Butenis in her cable January 22, 2010 said that if then Opposition Leader Sarath Fonseka won the election ‘US could expect that his new government would be interested in moving forward more quickly than the Rajapaksa government’, the WikiLeaks revealed.
