(Lanka-e-News -08.Jan.2012, 11.55PM) While the powerful politicos of Sri Lanka are also on a rape spree , yesterday alone there had been three cases of rape committed on three teenage girls , according to police reports. One victim is only 13 years old and the rapist is as old as 62 years.
Hungama police of the Gotambaragama district had arrested this 62 year old criminal who had committed this brutal sexual assault .
The second case has been reported from Thanamalvila Police district inThivulara district – the Thanamalvila police had received a complaint that a teenager , 14 years old had been a victim of rape.
The third case of rape had been reported from the Matugama police division – another 15 year old teenager had been raped at a recreation Hall . The Matugama police has received a complaint in this regard.
It is to be pointed out with regret that despite the rape crimes in society spiraling in Sri Lanka with alarming rapidity , the regime or the religious organizations or non Governmental Organizations have not seriously addressed or focused on this issue.
It is also unfortunate that there is no one to question as to how MaRa is going to make Sri Lanka the much hyped Asia’s miracle when rapes are being committed with gay abandon not only on foreign tourists , but on teenagers too in Sri Lanka.

Dogs looking up for some fun.
DUBAI: The Sri Lankan government has sparked the ire of animal rights activists after it said it was looking into the possibility of killing some three million stray dogs in the country.
“It is simply destructive and does not fit with our beliefs as a country, especially when there are many other alternatives that we can achieve with the dog situation,” Mariana Novpichatne, a Colombo-based activist told Bikyamasr.com via telephone.
