As the civil war in Sri Lanka drew to its bloody end in 2009 the government of this island nation removed its protection from UN officials and employees, who, along with other international observers, were forced to leave the conflict zone. President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his inner circle wanted, it seemed, a war without witness.
The end result was the deliberate slaughter of an estimated 70,000 innocent civilians. However, many survivors, and some who died, were able to capture on camera the horrifying conclusion to the war and the cruel deprivations of the internment camps that followed. Today, through their images and testimony, Rajapaksa stands accused of war crimes.
In Sri Lanka’s Secrets experienced journalist Trevor Grant presents the shocking story of the final days of this war, alongside the photographs and eye-witness accounts of many Tamils, including Maravan, a social worker who fled to Australia by boat after being tortured by soldiers seeking his folio of photographs.
What reality? The judgment is based on accounts of ex-LTTE cadres, LTTE sympathziers who are either politicians in Sri Lanka or activists in foreign countries which have no understanding on the typical life of Tamils in Sri Lanka and self righteous people who have blood on their hand.
the typical life of Tamils in genocidal Lanka is mass rape, murders and disappearances, Tamils want freedom from NEO Nazi Sinhalas
