Emerging pattern of SL judicial proceedings needs perusal

[TamilNet, Monday, 11 June 2012, 19:26 GMT]
When gunmen killed the Changkaanai temple priest in 2010, the commander of the occupying Sinhala military in Jaffna, Maj. Gen. Hathurusinghe, first accused former LTTE cadres, later said SL Army gun borrowed from corrupt troops was used by former LTTE carders, and subsequently all the arrested - two SLA personnel and two alleged former militants were released by the courts. A pattern is now seen in producing cases in the courts related to the murder of two Eezham Tamils, a UK deportee and a Canadian citizen in Trincomalee and in Ki'linochchi. Media in Colombo is busy in highlighting the SL prosecution version of personal motivation, once again involving SL military personnel in one case and former militants in the other, to exclude the responsibility of top SL military command. 

The anxiety seen in the SL prosecution to come out with a bundle of contradicting evidence and the agitation seen in the SL government-run or regime-supporting Colombo media in attacking alternative media that comes out with ground facts, are just because the cases involve two Western countries with the presence of a large Tamil diaspora. 

It became important that the genocidal military establishment of Sri Lanka and the abetting establishments have to be exonerated.

Just a few days before the Ki'linochchi murder of the Canadian citizen, 28-year-old Sivarooban Sivagnanam, returning from Qatar was brutally slayed by a squad at Vathiri junction in Jaffna, very near to a SL military camp. May be because he was a West Asian returnee, no 'international' or Colombo media took any notice. The victim posthumously escaped from some woman coming into his case and some 'former LTTE cadres' also escaped from getting arrested.  Full story >>
