(Lanka-e-News -24.June.2011,11.50PM) Following the disclosure by LeN yesterday that the video footage which reveals the actions of the SL Army was presumably sold by a State media personnel, more information on him had come to light.It is now known that this media personnel who was attached to a prominent State media Institution may have acted in excess of his powers in order to conceal his unscrupulous deals , and even during the war he had been selling the videotapes on the sly to AL Jazeera television service.
It is a rule of this State media Organization that even if a senior producer of a program is going out for videotaping an event he must of necessity take with him a cameraman. At the initial stages this culprit of a media personnel had been taking with him a cameraman , but later he had discontinued this practice alleging that he harbored suspicions about the cameraman, and he had therefore obtained permission to do the videotaping himself. A chief of the Institution who reposes confidence in him had granted the permission. However it is learnt that the permission granted is not in accordance with the laws. This media personnel had actually taken over these assignments during the war to himself solo in order that his secretive illicit business will not be detected. FullStory>>>

UN Dodges Sri Lanka Claim On Killing Fields, Ban Hasn't Seen, Silent on Prageeth
By Matthew Russell Lee
UNITED NATIONS, June 23 -- While Sri Lanka has yet to even respond to the UN on its Panel of Experts report on war crimes, the country's Mission to the UN has put out a response to the recent film “Killing Fields," entitled "Still trying to corner Sri Lanka." On June 23, Inner City Press asked for the UN's reply:Inner City Press: There has been a response now by the Sri Lankan Mission to the Killing Fields film.. it talks about the scene where Tamil civilians were seen pleading with the UN not to leave, which was Kilinochchi. And the statement by the Mission is: “At the time the UN had said that the demonstration was not genuine.” Is it possible to know from the UN if they agree with this or they deny this statement by the Sri Lanka Mission that the demonstration, which was one of the things he is supposed to be looking into; the UN’s own action, pulling out of Kilinochchi, did the UN leave because they thought that the demonstration was somehow not genuine, or is this a false statement by the Sri Lankan Mission?
