Switzerland must deny accreditation to the Ambassador designate for Sri Lanka, C.A.Chandraprema, because of his membership during the late eighties of a death squad responsible for the murders of hundreds of people, including human rights lawyers, journalists, university students and school children.
Chandraprema
C. A Chandraprema was known as “Thadi Priyantha” at the time and was a key member of the People’s Revolutionary Red Army or PRRA, one of many shadowy armed groups working with the military to target suspects during a Sinhala youth uprising that saw 40,000 killed. PRRA routinely issued death threats to journalists and human rights activists, including staff from Amnesty International, whose reports at the time accused PRRA of being involved in executions and enforced disappearances.
Chandraprema was arrested in Sri Lanka in 2000 in connection with the 1989 assasinations of two human rights lawyers – Charita Lankapura and Kanchana Abhayapala. A senior ex policeman in custody had named Chandraprema as the alleged assassin in an affidavit which is publicly available online. However Chandraprema was released after the Attorney General decided there was no legal grounds to proceed. Since then he has been protected by his links to all the major political parties in Sri Lanka.
“It is the ultimate irony that a man who has never been properly investigated for his alleged role in the murder of brave human rights lawyers should sit in the Human Rights Council,” a body intended to protect the rights of victims and human rights activists said ITJP’s Executive Director, Yasmin Sooka. “Sri Lanka has a past record of intimidating and threatening activists who attend the Human Rights Council – it is simply not safe to have a man like this heading a diplomatic mission in Geneva.”
In recent years Chandraprema became a newspaper columnist. In 2012 he authored a hagiography of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa that denies all the allegations of war crimes committed by the Sri Lankan army against Tamils in 2009 which are meticulously documented in a series of United Nations investigations.
“Unpunished state criminatilty is the obscene underside of Sri Lanka’s celebrated democracy,” said Bashana Abeywardene, coordinator of Journalists for Democracy in Sri Lanka. “The truth has been buried to such an extent that an alleged former member of a death squad can be proposed as the country’s representative to the United Nations and nobody even protests.” (ITJP)

It shows who Gota and the Rajapaksa’s are. They have no scruples, high standards, respect for the law, and any thug or murderer is fine, as long as they will do their bidding. Hope this criminal does not get accreditation, and that he will be finally rejected…..crooks, racists, liars and murderers, all part of this new government.

Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / February 4, 2020
He is being sent as the permanent representative to UNHCR in Geneva and not as ambassador to Switzerland. Therefore action to reject his nomination can be made only by UN. What Switzerland can do is to deny him visa to enter their country. It is a pity that a murder accused is being sent to uphold human rights. Remember what happened to Shavendra Silva when he was sent as deputy permanent representative to UN at New York. Despite being accused of war crimes, UN did not reject him and even USA did not bar him from entering their country.
/
Thondamany / February 4, 2020
First of all Switzerland need to be squeaky clean.
On the other hand if a visa is denied, UNHCR must get the hell out of Switzerland and establish themselves elsewhere.
Why deny Chandraperuma as he has been a Buddy of A
Rajitha Senaratne if he is an ex – PRRA man.

The proposed Genveva envoy is a member of the death squad. However, he is also a member of the tribe currently in power, the Rajapaksa tribe. The tribal rules and appointments are above the other rules and the constitution.
Therefore, this appointment is in keeping with the tribal rules.

It’s not the first time the Rajapakse regime has shown 2 fingers to the world. If an alleged war criminal was appointed as the UN Representative & another with a similar track record is the Head of State, what is to be expected?
We have yobs, thugs & cronies of all sorts appointed to high offices in Govt. & Diplomatic positions. This is just one of many. The current regime was democratically elected by a majority, therefore, there is no option but wait 5 years for an opportunity for a regime change. Even then, the prospect of a change for the better is doubtful. Most likely, it will be the same wine (if not worse) in a different bottle. God save SL but I don’t believe in god either. Its just a comforting thought.

The connection between Rajapakshas and Ranil Wickramasinghe is becoming clearer and clearer. In order to wipe out the JVP terror during the eighties, Ranil with advice from the military hierarchy created ‘Praa’. He was JR’s blue eyed boy and carried out his Master’s instructions. Chandraprema appears to have been close to Wickramasinghe then. They not only wiped out the JVP terrorists but also innocent Sinhalese in the process. Gota having lead this terror campaign in Matale, was well versed in crushing terrorism. He put this into practice in 2009 with the backing of his brother, when the LTTErs were annihilated using the same terror tactics. Both Tamil terrorists and innocent civilians died in the process, as did the Sinhalese in the eighties. Wickramasinghe and Rajapaksha are like two peas in a pod. One won’t hurt they other, as each has many skeletons in the respective cupboard. Chandraprema knows that very well.
Several thousand innocent civilians blood has been shed in this thrice blessed land of Buddhists.

But then JVP Prince Anura forgot all those sacrifices and not only helped Dr Rani to grab the Government after 30 years in wilderness .

One reason that led to large scale destruction of life is the lack of military and police intelligence. This could be said about the JVP, LTTE, and recent Muslim extremism.
If these armed organisations were neutralised during their incubation period the loss of life and destruction could have been avoided or minimised.

During the orientation in Mulivaikal , Mr Pirahaparan’s most important Instruction to the LTTE pups was to swallow the Cyanide before surrendering to the Soldiers..
–
Is that correct Native?.
–
Srilankan Army released 12,000 LTTE fully trained and active Cadres after Nanthikadal,
They are all now in Yarlpanam, supporting Devananadan , Pathmanadan or Vellala party ex CM Wigneswaran.as I understand.
–
So where did Ms Sooka get that 40,000 disappearing when 12.000 were released?.
Do you get the point?.
–
May be the real figure is 40 or 400 Max ,
They are the true Blue (or is it Red) LTTE Cadres who acted according to their conviction after the Orientation and swallowed the Capsule.
–
BTW, You always express your sadness about th ealleged treatment of Mr Pirahapan by the Srilankan Soldiers on the Banks of Nanthikadal.

May be those Photos were taken after Mr Pirahaparan had consumed his Capsule..

This book is like an ordinary level students essay.There was no historical grasp at all of that convulsive era.
The foolish reader has now forgotten that this same Chandraprema was a part of the Ranil Wickramasinghe propaganda team in early 2000 and even wrote a book praising Ranil to the sky called Green Revolution or some such title.

It seems like the Tamil Diaspora has “run out of steam”, so in desperation they are paying outfits like ITJP large sums of money to generate bad publicity for Sri Lanka. They are going after this guy for events that occurred 31 years ago. Whether the events actually occurred is another question, as there was only 1 witness. By the way, readers should be aware that Sooka was a guest speaker at the 2013 Global Tamil Forum, a pro-LTTE outfit.

This is a failed state, period, and there is no necessity at all to be finding fault with such appointments.

There is something to go by. Nothing was proceeded against the man by the AG of the day due to insufficiency of evidence. So he is a clean man. He can turn round and say, “Look! I was suspected of wrongdoing and now cleared by the AG. So is there anything against me?”. I wonder why all this did not come out much before because if it did he could never have been a member of standing in the fourth estate. At the same time one can point out that birds of a feather flock together. SO? I leave it at that.
