No country should have to face what Sri Lanka is currently facing

          For defeating & destroying the entire ground force of the LTTE

       Sri Lanka is being accused of War Crimes & Crimes Against Humanity

      The International Excuse to interfere in Sri Lanka is “Accountability”

                   Where is the logic behind these accusations?

    Why did the very nations accusing Sri Lanka simply watch LTTE terror acts?

  Did the International Community allow Sri Lanka’s Governments to end Terror?

Did not the International Community always thrust Peace Talks & Ceasefires upon us
          to use LTTE presence to advance their own geopolitical agendas?

                           SRI LANKANs NOW SAY
                           WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH

                   Allow OUR PEOPLE to live & work in Peace!
If the International Community, UN/HRC, NGOs & Human Rights Organizations find this
               “Barbaric” & a “Chilling piece of footage” shown by Channel 4


                                                       This is the son of
                                                       Terrorist Leader Prabakaran
                                                       who gained notoriety by killing



  Why was the International Community silent when LTTE killed Children over 30 years?




                              June 2006, LTTE plants           Oct 1992, LTTE attacks
May 1987, LTTE dressed in     Claymore mine targeting
Sri Lanka army uniforms                                        Palliyagodella Village killing
                              bus. 64 civilians including      146 civilians including
butchers 33 student monks     15 children were killed          children

DO THESE CHILDREN NOT DESERVE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA COVERAGE?
Channel 4’s forensic pathologist described how Prabakaran’s son was shot dead,
                        That he died after the 5 bodyguards were shot with hands tied behind by not
                        Physically examining the body or even visiting the scene of the crime!




      Can Channel 4 forensic pathologist describe how these killings took place

        Can we know if these were “executions” & how these murders took place
                              by looking at these images




   April 1992 LTTE attacks a             June 2006, Kebettigollawa claymore on bus by
   village killing 56 Muslims            LTTE despite Ceasefire Agreement

           They were all ordinary women & children going about their daily lives
By forcing Sri Lanka to engage in peace talks/ceasefires the world allowed LTTE to kill
The Road to Freedom


The Eastern Province was liberated by Sri Lanka’s Armed Forces on 10 July 2007
(Liberating the East took a year to complete)

The Northern Province was liberated by Sri Lanka’s Armed Forces on 18 May 2009
(Liberating the North commenced on 5 March 2007)


Sri Lanka’s Armed Forces ensured Sri Lanka would never suffer another bomb, suicide
or assassination by the LTTE.
Only the people of Sri Lanka know how great this feeling is.


       LTTE’s last suicide attack on civilians was on 10 March 2009
 Since then the People of Sri Lanka have not feared to walk out of their homes.


                   SRI LANKANS WILL NEVER ALLOW
                  TERRORISM TO RAISE ITS UGLY HEAD.
ONLY LTTE
 HAS ITSELF TO BLAME FOR THE FALL OF THE LTTE



  LTTE was given 24 Hours to Lay down arms & surrender
                 on 2nd JANUARY 2009

               By Sri Lanka’s Head of State

             It was ONLY after LTTE’s refusal
         that Sri Lanka’s Military were ordered to
                 Militarily defeat the LTTE.


How many lives would have been saved if LTTE surrendered!
Channel 4 : Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields & its Sequels – The Facts

LTTE USING TAMILS AS HUMAN SHIELDS
• LTTE took Tamil Civilians from their homes to be used as human shields and was
firing at Sri Lankan army amidst these civilians. The UN was aware of this.
• The GOSL informed the ICRC to tell LTTE not to use Tamil civilians as human shields

TAMIL CIVILIANS RESCUE
• On 20 Apr 2009 - Over 42,000 civilians were rescued by Sri Lanka’s military
• On 21 - 22 April 2009 - over 60,000 civilians were rescued by Sri Lanka’s military
• Reception centers were set up manned by security forces personnel who could converse in
Tamil
• 175,000 personnel of the SLA have undergone local & international training to effectively be
mentally & physically prepared to handle hostage rescue operations alongside a military
operation against terrorism
• LTTE suicide cadre sent as a civilian blew herself up at the reception center to assist fleeing
Tamil civilians on 9 February 2009
• LTTE blocked entry/exit of Omanthai & Ulliyankulam preventing Tamil civilians from escaping
from March 2008 onwards.
Channel 4 : Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields & its Sequels – The Facts


FOOD & MEDICAL SUPPLIES
• Govt supplied food & medicine according to the numbers quoted by UN as only they were
allowed in the LTTE controlled areas.
• From January 2008 to early May 2009, 58,393 metric tons of essential items were sent to
Killinochchi and Mullaithivu districts in addition to 33,383 metric tons supplied to co-operative
outlets during 2008 up to January 2009
• Every month, five to 600,000 litres of fuel was sent to each district despite fear that it may fall into
LTTE hands.
• There were 900 government health staff in Mullaithivu and Killinochchi alone
• More than 20 litres of water per person per day was delivered and used

LTTE CADRES SURRENDERING
• Over 11,000 LTTE cadres surrendered to the armed forces. (almost all have been rehabilitated &
reintroduced to society.
• Of these surrendered LTTE cadres over 500 are child combatants of the LTTE. The Govt not only
took a policy decision not to prosecute them but also gave them education & enabled them to sit
for competitive exams & some have even qualified to do advanced level while others have been
taught vocational training to start a livelihood.
Channel 4 : Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields & its Sequels – Our Questions..

CREDIBILITY
• Why does Channel 4 refuse to part with the original video / documents if every item Is
authentic/verifiable and credible? How come various versions differ?
• Who is Peter Mackay (Prof. Rajiva Wijesinghe says he was not on the list of personnel
accompanying the UN convoy to the North. If his name was not included for what reasons was he in
a conflict zone?
• Why does Gordon Weiss contradict himself in C4 & in his own book the Cage? Which version is
correct?

 CIVILIANS
• Wouldn’t 294,000 Tamil civilians not have suffered miles of travel had the LTTE not forced them
from their homes? Shouldn’t the LTTE have first moved Tamils to safety before fighting with SLA?
• Hindustan Times (India) Heading of January 18, 2009 :
“ LTTE using Tamils as 'human shields': Jaya” – What is Tamil Nadu Chief Minister saying now?

AUTHENTICITY OF VIDEO
• C4 needs to admit that the “summary executions” shown have not been taken by a mobile phone
as metadata proves this.
• How did this person taking the clipping over a “mobile” phone charge it.
• Is it also a coincidence that the man shown tied to a tree with a knife pointing at him later shown to
be dead in an image also appears cropped in Gordon Weiss (former UN spokesman’s) book The
Cage. How did Gordon Weiss obtain this image? The video shoes men in slippers. Sri Lankan army
do not wear slippers while in combat!
Channel 4 : Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields & its Sequels – Our Questions..


FOOD & SUPPLIES
• If food & medical supplies were being denied by the GOSL what was the WFP truck doing in the
North?
• Did the LTTE suicide cadres not attack a ship carrying supplies to the civilians?

ACCUSATIONS OF GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING
• C4 is insinuating that the Sri Lankan army committed genocide of upto 40,000 civilians. Going by
this presumption, can C4 explain why the armed forces should take over 5 months to finish the
military operation while using hostage rescue tactics & snipers to rescue 294,000 civilians, why did
the military not shoot these civilians as well?
• When the US has been taking satellite imagery of the area, if the armed forces were firing &
Killing civilians – wouldn’t these have been caught by US satellite imagery? What is the reason for
these bogus allegations?

SURRENDER OPPORTUNITY
• LTTE were killed in a combat operation for which they were given notice and also offered the
chance to surrender by the Govt in January 2009. Why did the LTTE not take up this offer? The
Death of Prabakaran cannot be compared to that of Osama for it was not a combat operation. He
was in his hideout & US entered forcefully & killed an unarmed man & dumped his body at sea. The
crime was watched from start to finish by US President, his Generals & the US Secretary of State.
Are they not culpable for murder?
The US influenced West has failed Sri Lankans because ….

• The world refused to accept Sri Lanka was suffering from a Terrorist problem

• The world insisted Sri Lanka had an ethnic conflict

• The world ignored the fact that LTTE was killing its own people – Politicians, Academics,
intellectuals, even LTTE cadres or ordinary Tamils that went against LTTE dictates

• The world did not realize the futility of peace talks when the first failed & insisted on
holding 5 more peace talks, ceasefires even foreign moderated ones.

• The world was aware but ignored LTTE’s strategy of using peacetalks & negotiations as
breathing time to regroup & rearm.

• The world cared not about any of the heinous crimes upon innocent civilians carried out
by LTTE suicide cadres posing as civilians, dressed in Sri Lanka army uniforms

• The world watched while LTTE kidnapped Tamil children from poor Tamil families and
moulded them into killers. Despite, numerous international reports about LTTE child
recruitment nothing was ever done.
The US influenced West has failed Sri Lankans because ….


• The world allowed the LTTE to carry out their international network of illicit activities that ranged
from credit card scams, extortion, bank loan absconding, money laundering, Illegal narcotic
trade, illegal weapons smuggling, intimidation of their own people, hired killing & mercenary
activities. Only a handful of arrests have been made as whitewash.

• The world allows 32 LTTE front organizations to continue to collect funds. Though some are
banned these LTTE front organizations are influencing foreign MPs, UN Officials, Diplomats,
NGOs even international media.

• The world allowed LTTE to run international offices, hold events, carry out propaganda, open tv
stations & distribute newspapers despite LTTE being banned in their countries.

• The world allowed its MPs to meet with LTTE terrorist leaders & spokesman and these MPs
even attended LTTE events and spoke on “self-determination” ridiculing an elected Sovereign
government.
What is the Crime Sri Lanka has committed?

• To invade Iraq the US/NATO needed only to accuse Iraq of possessing WMDs

• To invade Afghanistan the US/NATO needed only an assumption that Afghanistan was
responsible for 9/11

• To forward the US Resolution against Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka stands guilty for:


       •    Ending Terrorism – Sri Lanka becoming the 1st country to do so
       •    Spending months to plan & execute a hostage rescue operation to free Tamil
           civilians kept as human shields by the LTTE.
       •    Sacrificing over 5000 of Government soldiers to rescue Tamil civilians
       •    Sending food & medical supplies for civilian numbers quoted by the UN
            (NOTE: LTTE ran a defacto Govt & ONLY UN & NGOs were working & living
            in LTTE controlled areas. Govt. went by UN estimates.
       •    Arranging IDP camps which came to be called “Internment Camps” though
            3 meals/social activities, educational classes, livelihood programs, banks were
            Opened to the Tamil civilians.
       •    Eliminating the LTTE including its leader Prabakaran though US President not
            only watched the killing of Osama but dumped his body to sea & only thereafter
            informed the world.
What is the Crime Sri Lanka has committed?


Is Sri Lanka to be punished for :

• Taking loans to build roads, railways, schools, hospitals, Government buildings all
destroyed by the LTTE over 30 years?

• Rehabilitating surrendered LTTE cadres and reintroducing them to society spending
millions of taxpayers money?

• Taking a Government policy NOT to prosecute over 500 child LTTE cadres & instead
teaching them to read & write, to sit for competitive exams, provide them vocational
training?

• Clearing landmines before resettling Tamil civilians

• Engaging Sri Lanka’s private sector & individuals in the development & reconciliation
exercise
What are Tamils being denied?


• Of the original 2.4m Tamils since close to 1m are now domiciled overseas there are less than 1.5m
Tamils in Sri Lanka. The first population census to be concluded shortly will give the exact number of
Tamils in Sri Lanka.

• Sri Lanka’s Sinhala population accounts for more than 14.8m of a total 20m population. Yet,

• Tamil is an official language (of about less than 10% of the Total population – earlier it was 12%)

• All Government circulars & official documents come in both Sinhala & Tamil.

• All birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates etc appear in both Sinhala & Tamil

• All COINS, CURRENCY & POSTAGE STAMPS appear in Sinhala & Tamil.

• All road nameboards on roads appear in Sinhala & Tamil.

• Tamil festivals are declared public holidays

• All Government events shown live have presenters speaking in both Sinhala & Tamil.

• Even the national lottery presented over tv has presenters giving the results in both Sinhala & Tamil
If Tamils had been discriminated against for EMPLOYMENT,
 explain how these top posts were held by Tamils?


 •    Ministers of State (including post of Foreign Minister who was assassinated by the LTTE)
 •    The Chief Justice of Sri Lanka
 •    The Inspector General of Police
 •    The Commander of the Armed Forces
 •    Chairman of the Central Bank
 •    Chairman of the State TV
 •    Heads of Government Department
 •    University Professors and Vice-Chancellors
 •    Ambassadors and High Commissioners
 •    Mayors & Public Officials

 (Alfred Duraiappah the Mayor of Jaffna was the first victim of the LTTE,
 killed by Prabakaran himself)



Tamils must accept that it is the LTTE that has denied them 30 years of development.
Ex: CIMA exams were one time dominated by Tamil children who did extremely well in Accounts.
Today the toppers are not Tamils.

Tamil Diaspora, Tamil Politicians must share equal accountability with the LTTE.

            BUT SRI LANKA DID END TERRORISM

         Animosity against Sri Lanka by the
           US influenced West is because
they fear other countries will follow Sri Lanka’s lead.

Sri lankans respond to channel 4 & the international community

  • 1. No country should have to face what Sri Lanka is currently facing For defeating & destroying the entire ground force of the LTTE Sri Lanka is being accused of War Crimes & Crimes Against Humanity The International Excuse to interfere in Sri Lanka is “Accountability” Where is the logic behind these accusations? Why did the very nations accusing Sri Lanka simply watch LTTE terror acts? Did the International Community allow Sri Lanka’s Governments to end Terror? Did not the International Community always thrust Peace Talks & Ceasefires upon us to use LTTE presence to advance their own geopolitical agendas? SRI LANKANs NOW SAY WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH Allow OUR PEOPLE to live & work in Peace!
  • 2. If the International Community, UN/HRC, NGOs & Human Rights Organizations find this “Barbaric” & a “Chilling piece of footage” shown by Channel 4 This is the son of Terrorist Leader Prabakaran who gained notoriety by killing Why was the International Community silent when LTTE killed Children over 30 years? June 2006, LTTE plants Oct 1992, LTTE attacks May 1987, LTTE dressed in Claymore mine targeting Sri Lanka army uniforms Palliyagodella Village killing bus. 64 civilians including 146 civilians including butchers 33 student monks 15 children were killed children DO THESE CHILDREN NOT DESERVE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA COVERAGE?
  • 3. Channel 4’s forensic pathologist described how Prabakaran’s son was shot dead, That he died after the 5 bodyguards were shot with hands tied behind by not Physically examining the body or even visiting the scene of the crime! Can Channel 4 forensic pathologist describe how these killings took place Can we know if these were “executions” & how these murders took place by looking at these images April 1992 LTTE attacks a June 2006, Kebettigollawa claymore on bus by village killing 56 Muslims LTTE despite Ceasefire Agreement http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Dndxi_1NFs They were all ordinary women & children going about their daily lives By forcing Sri Lanka to engage in peace talks/ceasefires the world allowed LTTE to kill
  • 4. The Road to Freedom The Eastern Province was liberated by Sri Lanka’s Armed Forces on 10 July 2007 (Liberating the East took a year to complete) The Northern Province was liberated by Sri Lanka’s Armed Forces on 18 May 2009 (Liberating the North commenced on 5 March 2007) Sri Lanka’s Armed Forces ensured Sri Lanka would never suffer another bomb, suicide or assassination by the LTTE. Only the people of Sri Lanka know how great this feeling is. LTTE’s last suicide attack on civilians was on 10 March 2009 Since then the People of Sri Lanka have not feared to walk out of their homes. SRI LANKANS WILL NEVER ALLOW TERRORISM TO RAISE ITS UGLY HEAD.
  • 5. ONLY LTTE HAS ITSELF TO BLAME FOR THE FALL OF THE LTTE LTTE was given 24 Hours to Lay down arms & surrender on 2nd JANUARY 2009 By Sri Lanka’s Head of State It was ONLY after LTTE’s refusal that Sri Lanka’s Military were ordered to Militarily defeat the LTTE. How many lives would have been saved if LTTE surrendered!
  • 6. Channel 4 : Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields & its Sequels – The Facts LTTE USING TAMILS AS HUMAN SHIELDS • LTTE took Tamil Civilians from their homes to be used as human shields and was firing at Sri Lankan army amidst these civilians. The UN was aware of this. • The GOSL informed the ICRC to tell LTTE not to use Tamil civilians as human shields TAMIL CIVILIANS RESCUE • On 20 Apr 2009 - Over 42,000 civilians were rescued by Sri Lanka’s military • On 21 - 22 April 2009 - over 60,000 civilians were rescued by Sri Lanka’s military • Reception centers were set up manned by security forces personnel who could converse in Tamil • 175,000 personnel of the SLA have undergone local & international training to effectively be mentally & physically prepared to handle hostage rescue operations alongside a military operation against terrorism • LTTE suicide cadre sent as a civilian blew herself up at the reception center to assist fleeing Tamil civilians on 9 February 2009 • LTTE blocked entry/exit of Omanthai & Ulliyankulam preventing Tamil civilians from escaping from March 2008 onwards.
  • 7. Channel 4 : Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields & its Sequels – The Facts FOOD & MEDICAL SUPPLIES • Govt supplied food & medicine according to the numbers quoted by UN as only they were allowed in the LTTE controlled areas. • From January 2008 to early May 2009, 58,393 metric tons of essential items were sent to Killinochchi and Mullaithivu districts in addition to 33,383 metric tons supplied to co-operative outlets during 2008 up to January 2009 • Every month, five to 600,000 litres of fuel was sent to each district despite fear that it may fall into LTTE hands. • There were 900 government health staff in Mullaithivu and Killinochchi alone • More than 20 litres of water per person per day was delivered and used LTTE CADRES SURRENDERING • Over 11,000 LTTE cadres surrendered to the armed forces. (almost all have been rehabilitated & reintroduced to society. • Of these surrendered LTTE cadres over 500 are child combatants of the LTTE. The Govt not only took a policy decision not to prosecute them but also gave them education & enabled them to sit for competitive exams & some have even qualified to do advanced level while others have been taught vocational training to start a livelihood.
  • 8. Channel 4 : Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields & its Sequels – Our Questions.. CREDIBILITY • Why does Channel 4 refuse to part with the original video / documents if every item Is authentic/verifiable and credible? How come various versions differ? • Who is Peter Mackay (Prof. Rajiva Wijesinghe says he was not on the list of personnel accompanying the UN convoy to the North. If his name was not included for what reasons was he in a conflict zone? • Why does Gordon Weiss contradict himself in C4 & in his own book the Cage? Which version is correct? CIVILIANS • Wouldn’t 294,000 Tamil civilians not have suffered miles of travel had the LTTE not forced them from their homes? Shouldn’t the LTTE have first moved Tamils to safety before fighting with SLA? • Hindustan Times (India) Heading of January 18, 2009 : “ LTTE using Tamils as 'human shields': Jaya” – What is Tamil Nadu Chief Minister saying now? AUTHENTICITY OF VIDEO • C4 needs to admit that the “summary executions” shown have not been taken by a mobile phone as metadata proves this. • How did this person taking the clipping over a “mobile” phone charge it. • Is it also a coincidence that the man shown tied to a tree with a knife pointing at him later shown to be dead in an image also appears cropped in Gordon Weiss (former UN spokesman’s) book The Cage. How did Gordon Weiss obtain this image? The video shoes men in slippers. Sri Lankan army do not wear slippers while in combat!
  • 9. Channel 4 : Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields & its Sequels – Our Questions.. FOOD & SUPPLIES • If food & medical supplies were being denied by the GOSL what was the WFP truck doing in the North? • Did the LTTE suicide cadres not attack a ship carrying supplies to the civilians? ACCUSATIONS OF GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING • C4 is insinuating that the Sri Lankan army committed genocide of upto 40,000 civilians. Going by this presumption, can C4 explain why the armed forces should take over 5 months to finish the military operation while using hostage rescue tactics & snipers to rescue 294,000 civilians, why did the military not shoot these civilians as well? • When the US has been taking satellite imagery of the area, if the armed forces were firing & Killing civilians – wouldn’t these have been caught by US satellite imagery? What is the reason for these bogus allegations? SURRENDER OPPORTUNITY • LTTE were killed in a combat operation for which they were given notice and also offered the chance to surrender by the Govt in January 2009. Why did the LTTE not take up this offer? The Death of Prabakaran cannot be compared to that of Osama for it was not a combat operation. He was in his hideout & US entered forcefully & killed an unarmed man & dumped his body at sea. The crime was watched from start to finish by US President, his Generals & the US Secretary of State. Are they not culpable for murder?
  • 10. The US influenced West has failed Sri Lankans because …. • The world refused to accept Sri Lanka was suffering from a Terrorist problem • The world insisted Sri Lanka had an ethnic conflict • The world ignored the fact that LTTE was killing its own people – Politicians, Academics, intellectuals, even LTTE cadres or ordinary Tamils that went against LTTE dictates • The world did not realize the futility of peace talks when the first failed & insisted on holding 5 more peace talks, ceasefires even foreign moderated ones. • The world was aware but ignored LTTE’s strategy of using peacetalks & negotiations as breathing time to regroup & rearm. • The world cared not about any of the heinous crimes upon innocent civilians carried out by LTTE suicide cadres posing as civilians, dressed in Sri Lanka army uniforms • The world watched while LTTE kidnapped Tamil children from poor Tamil families and moulded them into killers. Despite, numerous international reports about LTTE child recruitment nothing was ever done.
  • 11. The US influenced West has failed Sri Lankans because …. • The world allowed the LTTE to carry out their international network of illicit activities that ranged from credit card scams, extortion, bank loan absconding, money laundering, Illegal narcotic trade, illegal weapons smuggling, intimidation of their own people, hired killing & mercenary activities. Only a handful of arrests have been made as whitewash. • The world allows 32 LTTE front organizations to continue to collect funds. Though some are banned these LTTE front organizations are influencing foreign MPs, UN Officials, Diplomats, NGOs even international media. • The world allowed LTTE to run international offices, hold events, carry out propaganda, open tv stations & distribute newspapers despite LTTE being banned in their countries. • The world allowed its MPs to meet with LTTE terrorist leaders & spokesman and these MPs even attended LTTE events and spoke on “self-determination” ridiculing an elected Sovereign government.
  • 12. What is the Crime Sri Lanka has committed? • To invade Iraq the US/NATO needed only to accuse Iraq of possessing WMDs • To invade Afghanistan the US/NATO needed only an assumption that Afghanistan was responsible for 9/11 • To forward the US Resolution against Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka stands guilty for: • Ending Terrorism – Sri Lanka becoming the 1st country to do so • Spending months to plan & execute a hostage rescue operation to free Tamil civilians kept as human shields by the LTTE. • Sacrificing over 5000 of Government soldiers to rescue Tamil civilians • Sending food & medical supplies for civilian numbers quoted by the UN (NOTE: LTTE ran a defacto Govt & ONLY UN & NGOs were working & living in LTTE controlled areas. Govt. went by UN estimates. • Arranging IDP camps which came to be called “Internment Camps” though 3 meals/social activities, educational classes, livelihood programs, banks were Opened to the Tamil civilians. • Eliminating the LTTE including its leader Prabakaran though US President not only watched the killing of Osama but dumped his body to sea & only thereafter informed the world.
  • 13. What is the Crime Sri Lanka has committed? Is Sri Lanka to be punished for : • Taking loans to build roads, railways, schools, hospitals, Government buildings all destroyed by the LTTE over 30 years? • Rehabilitating surrendered LTTE cadres and reintroducing them to society spending millions of taxpayers money? • Taking a Government policy NOT to prosecute over 500 child LTTE cadres & instead teaching them to read & write, to sit for competitive exams, provide them vocational training? • Clearing landmines before resettling Tamil civilians • Engaging Sri Lanka’s private sector & individuals in the development & reconciliation exercise
  • 14. What are Tamils being denied? • Of the original 2.4m Tamils since close to 1m are now domiciled overseas there are less than 1.5m Tamils in Sri Lanka. The first population census to be concluded shortly will give the exact number of Tamils in Sri Lanka. • Sri Lanka’s Sinhala population accounts for more than 14.8m of a total 20m population. Yet, • Tamil is an official language (of about less than 10% of the Total population – earlier it was 12%) • All Government circulars & official documents come in both Sinhala & Tamil. • All birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates etc appear in both Sinhala & Tamil • All COINS, CURRENCY & POSTAGE STAMPS appear in Sinhala & Tamil. • All road nameboards on roads appear in Sinhala & Tamil. • Tamil festivals are declared public holidays • All Government events shown live have presenters speaking in both Sinhala & Tamil. • Even the national lottery presented over tv has presenters giving the results in both Sinhala & Tamil
  • 15. If Tamils had been discriminated against for EMPLOYMENT, explain how these top posts were held by Tamils? • Ministers of State (including post of Foreign Minister who was assassinated by the LTTE) • The Chief Justice of Sri Lanka • The Inspector General of Police • The Commander of the Armed Forces • Chairman of the Central Bank • Chairman of the State TV • Heads of Government Department • University Professors and Vice-Chancellors • Ambassadors and High Commissioners • Mayors & Public Officials (Alfred Duraiappah the Mayor of Jaffna was the first victim of the LTTE, killed by Prabakaran himself) Tamils must accept that it is the LTTE that has denied them 30 years of development. Ex: CIMA exams were one time dominated by Tamil children who did extremely well in Accounts. Today the toppers are not Tamils. Tamil Diaspora, Tamil Politicians must share equal accountability with the LTTE.
