Malaysia told to rethink support for Sri Lanka

Human rights group Proham says there is evidence of human rights violation during the Tamil Tigers conflict and Malaysia should not lend their support to Sri Lanka

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia should reconsider its support to Sri Lanka’s stand that others should not interfere in its domestic affairs.

In a statement, Persatuan Promosi Hak Asasi Manusia (Proham) said that an UN independent panel has found credible allegations of human rights violation during the final stages of the nation’s civil war.

“The panel had also recommended that UN secretary-general, Ban Ki-Moon establish an independent team to investigate into the alleged violations,” Proham chairman Simon Sipaun said.

In May 2009, the Sri Lankan government, led by president Mahindra Rajapakse declared an end to a 25-year civil war after crushing the Tamil-led rebel group, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

The army took control over the entire island by wiping out the rebel group’s leaders including its leader, V Prabhakaran.

However, the Sri Lankan government’s actions drew criticism from various nations including the European Union, claiming government troops had killed civilians in the process.

The Sri Lankan government, which had dismissed the claims, then tabled a resolution at Human Rights Council office in Geneva for a non-interference in its internal affairs in 2009, which Malaysia supported.

According to UN figures, about 7,000 ethnic Tamil civilians were killed between Jan 20 and May 7, when government troops pushed the rebels into a small area in the island’s north-east region.

Simon reminded the Malaysian government that it had previously taken a strong stand against the apartheid regime in South Africa and the human rights abuse happening in war-torn Palestine.

“Malaysia needs to play an active role in the council by being consistent in our policies.

“With the recent call by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak for a Global Movement of Moderation, it is important that Sri Lanka’s reconciliation process is done based on the fundamentals of accountability and justice,” said Simon.

இலங்கைக்கு ஆதரவளிக்கும் நிலைப்பாட்டை மலேசியா மீள்பரிசீலனை செய்ய வேண்டும் என மலேசிய மனித உரிமைகளை மேம்படுத்தும் அமைப்பான Persatuan Promosi Hak Asasi Manusia (Proham) கோரிக்கை விடுத்துள்ளது.

2009ம் ஆண்டு ஜெனிவா மனித உரிமை பேரவையில் இலங்கை போர்க்குற்றம் தொடர்பில் குற்றச்சாடுக்கள் சுமத்தப்பட்ட போது, அது அந்நாட்டில் உள்ளூர் பிரச்சினை என மலேசியாவும் ஒதுங்கிக்கொண்டது. எனினும் தற்போது இலங்கை மீதான குற்றச்சாட்டுக்கள் நிரூபிக்கப்பட்டு வருவதால் மலேசியா தனது நிலைப்பாட்டை மாற்றிக்கொள்ள வேண்டும் எனவும் இலங்கை போர்க்குற்றங்கள் தொடர்பில் சர்வதேச விசாரணை தேவை எனவும், அந்த அமைப்பின் தலைவர் Simon Sipaun கோரியுள்ளார்.

தெ.ஆபிரிக்காவில் மனித உரிமைகள் மீறப்பட்ட போது அதற்கு எதிராக மலேசியா குரல் கொடுத்துள்ளதையும் அவர் சுட்டிக்காட்டியுள்ளார்.

UK film gives powerful evidence of Sri Lankan War Crimes: Tamil Canadians call for an emergency debate in Parliament

Toronto: Following the release of “Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields” in the UK, Tamil Canadians are demanding an emergency debate in Ottawa on an international war crimes investigation in Sri Lanka. The film, produced by Channel 4 News, exposes eyewitness footage of extra-judicial killings of prisoners by Sri Lankan government forces, the carnage of deliberate bombings of civilian hospitals and the bodies of female Tamil fighters who appear to have been sexually assaulted.

The film’s release comes at a time when a United Nations report on the Sri Lankan conflict concluded that allegations of the Sri Lankan government committing war crimes and crimes against humanity were “credible.” The report determined that as many as 40,000 innocent civilians were murdered. Despite the grave implications of the United Nations report, the Sri Lankan government continues to insist that they followed a ‘zero civilian casualty policy.’

The Sri Lankan Government expelled all foreign media in order to engage in a war without independent witnesses, said Krisna Saravanamuttu spokesperson for the National Council of Canadian Tamils. “With the release of “Sri Lanka’s killing fields”, there now exists inexplicable evidence—for the world to bear witness to—of a deliberate and systematic scheme targeting tens of thousands of innocent civilians.”

In 2009, Canadian Tamils staged historic demonstrations where tens of thousands of people called on the international community to intervene and stop the violence in Sri Lanka.

“There are over 300,000 Tamils in Canada who fled persecution from Sri Lanka,” said Saravanamuttu. “The Canadian Tamil community trusts that all members of parliament will come together in a non-partisan way to demand an end to impunity by calling for the establishment of an international war crimes tribunal”

The National Council of Canadian Tamils (NCCT) is a grassroots organization, composed of elected representatives from across Canada that serves to organize Tamil-Canadians on a democratic and cooperative basis.
