Sri Lanka rejects Channel 4’s concocted news
Sri Lanka today flatly rejected Britain’s Channel 4 documentary titled No War Zone – the killing fields of Sri Lanka to be aired in Geneva at the next session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) scheduled to begin later this month as “concocted lies, half-truths and speculations” to embarrass the country at the summit
A British channel has come out with a documentary featuring the pictures of the alleged cold-blooded killing of LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran’s 12-year-old son, which was on Tuesday dismissed by Sri Lanka as “lies, half truths and numerous forms of speculation”.
The Channel 4 documentary titled ‘No War Zone: The killing fields of Sri Lanka’ is to be aired in Geneva at the next session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in March.
Sri Lankan army today dismissed as “lies, half truths, rumours and numerous forms of speculation” the pictures featured in the documentary.Commenting on the pictures, military spokesman Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasooriya has said,
“This is not the first time such unsubstantiated allegations are leveled against the Sri Lankan forces. Interestingly, these come up as we near UNHRC meeting and die down thereafter.””No substantive evidence have been presented for us to launch an investigation” he has said.
“Unfortunately, it appears that the parties who float such baseless allegations never want these to be investigated or solved. They want to keep them as mysteries in order to tarnish the country’s good image as and when it suits their agendas.”Wanigasooriya stressed that if the Channel 4 was interested in having these investigated, it should cooperate with credible evidence and the army will institute a probe.

CH4 documentary is timed to be shown at the time of the UNHRC conference with our arch enemy USA (hypocrite) tabling a resolution against SL for the second time with India (the hypocrite and traitor) also voting with USA against us. It is paid for by diaspora Tamils with their millions of dollars accumulated wealth obtained by dubious means. This is corruption unworthy of true and honest journalism.
VP and his wife and 2 sons refused to surrender along with the hardcore LTTE, on the orders of VP, the LTTE leader. They died fighting with weapons in their hands and wearing suicide vests of bombs.
The fleeing Tamil SL citizens, who were held by the LTTE as a human shield ( a war crime), were mowed down by machine gun fire by the LTTE. Some died and most were wounded. Some were killed by LTTE suicide bombers. Under 7000 of the 400,000 SL Tamil hostages died. Their rescuers, the SL army in the Humanitarian Operation also died and some were wounded. The SL army did not kill the Tamil hostages they were rescuing. This is utterly untrue and a damnable lie concocted by the TNA and the diaspora Tamils to deceive the world community.
Mr Mahinda Rajapaksa was chosen by the late Tamil leader, Veluppillai Prabahkar to be the leader of the Sinhala nation. At the elections in 2005, Prabakhar ensured Mr Rajapaksa’s victory.
By doing so, Prabahkar demonstrated an intuitive belief that Mr Rajapaksa was the only sinhala leader who could deliver the aspirations of the tamils which is primariliy Ealam.
Mr Prabahkar’s dream is about to come true.
Keep dreaming Oscar ! (LOL)
