A nation that is bordering on spiritual bankrupcy, the leadership of the country must rise up to doing ‘the right thing’ s and bring to justice the perpetrators.

There is no doubt that UTHR(J) is a neutral organization that does not support either the LTTE or the GOSL. I have been a keen reader of its reports since 1990. This particular report is a masterpiece. When UTHR(J) critizes the LTTE in its report GOSL uses the report for its advantage and hails UTHR (J). But now it is silent. Even the Island newspaper wrote editorials praising UTHR(J), but now not a word about the latest report. Interestingly, Uthayan newspaper which is a pro LTTE paper hails the latest report!

People like #2 can never be convinced even if the evidence drops down on them like a ton of bricks .. (sarcasm)??

UTHR are more credibe than any other organisation in SL governmental or nongovernmental. Hence the ability to believe in them. They speak against injustice whether by the GOSL or LTTE. The GOSL uses their reports whenever it suits them, now lets see what they say.

Not just the ‘culture of impunity’ but also the state ‘culture of patronage’, promotions and incentives to the suspected ‘killer’ officers and soldiers in the security forces are traditional cultures in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lankan governments used military against early Tamil peaceful struggles. Those are the days when Tamil democratic leaders started failing to deliver. Since those days we are witnessing enormous level of cultures of impunity and state patronage in Sri Lanka. Sinhala police and military officers got away with murder, rape and day light robberies. Sinhala politicians got away with murder, robbery and racial instigation especially during the 1958, 1977, 1983 anti-Tamil communal riots.

It is not an over statement. Never and not a single member of Sri Lankan Sinhala political and security establishment had been strictly interrogated, charge sheeted, punished under law.

This evil racist cultures and acts of re-arranging goal posts and parameters paved way for the Velupillai Pirabakaran clan to enter the field. LTTE is the child of Sinhala culture of impunity. Sinhala culture of impunity is the mother of LTTE.

Does the civilized Sinhalese ladies and gentlemen bother to care? Does the civilized world bother to care? > Ms. GANGA

Now Government cannot hide any more. If they want to keep any crdibility they should bring these Police officers including Kotakadeniya to the Courts and let the law of the land prevail. they should show they are different to LTTE and Ranil W’s governemnt.

Well if UTHR says it then it MUST be true… (sarcasm)

I’d be interest to see the so-called evidence they have or are they simply stitching together statements to fit their own mold of what they think happened. As this case is being prosecuted I think we should refrain from the conjecture till the evidence is actually presented.

Because it is UTHR that is publishing this report it is believable. They have named names, they must have the facts. The UTHR are not tiger supporters, in fact the tigers have a bounty on them. Will there be justice?
