Shavendra and Gotabhaya, Sarath’s “war crimes” stories further confirmed

Wednesday, 26 December 2012 

It has once again been proven that a large number of Tamil civilians were killed in the Tamil genocidal war. An article published in The Island newspaper on the 23rd states that a large number of civilians were trapped in a narrow 2 kilometer stretch of land in Mullavaikkal.

It was Major General Shavendra Silva, who is now Sri Lanka’s Deputy Permanent Representative in New York, who was in-charge of this area where there were a large number of trapped civilians. Therefore, the war crimes charges leveled against Silva have been further proven.

It is clear that Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and Sarath Fonseka were also directly involved in the genocide. It is said that Silva who commanded the 58th Brigade was to be removed from the post since he did not follow orders.

The article states that Gotabhaya Rajapaksa had given direct orders to Silva. Although there have been various court verdicts given on cases, it is clear that Gotabhaya Rajapaksa had given the orders to Shavendra Silva to kill the LTTE leaders like Pulidevan, Nadesan and Ramesh when they had tried to surrender carrying white flags, as Fonseka had stated to The Sunday Leader newspaper.

The article published in The Island newspaper on the 23rd proves that Gotabhaya Rajapaksa had given orders directly to Shavendra Silva. Therefore, Fonseka’s statement to The Sunday Leader newspaper has been re-confirmed.

Balachandran assassinated on Gotabhaya’s orders by Major General Kamal Gunaratne

On July 14, 2012 we revealed that LTTE Leader Velupillai Prabhakaran’s 14 year old son, Balachandran Prabhakaran was killed by the commanding officer of the 53rd Brigade, Brigadier Kamal Gunaratne on a directive by Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa when Balachndran had surrendered to the army.

Therefore, the expose has also been confirmed in the above mentioned article.
