The Sri Lankan President’s decision to appoint a notorious alleged war criminal, Major Genral Shavendra Silva, as Commander of the Army is immensely damaging to the country and marks the end of any reconciliation process, given the allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity against him.
Shavendra Silva
In January this year the International Truth and Justice Project published a 137-page Dossier on Silva which showed there was more than enough evidence to charge him with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Instead he has now been promoted to the most powerful job in the army just months before important elections.
“This is a man who has shown his willingness to violate international law,” said ITJP Executive Director Yasmin Sooka,“his promotion will spark fear throughout the country but especially among the hundreds of thousands of Tamils who suffered immense loss in 2009 when Silva allegedly oversaw attacks on civilian sites”.
Shavendra Silva has also never been held accountable for his role in crushing the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) or People’s Liberation Front uprising in the late eighties during which there were credible allegations of summary executions, enforced disappearances, torture and sexual violence, and the detention of thousands of Sinhala youth. Some of the violations occurred in Matale where Silva was based, serving under Gotabaya Rajapaksa who commanded the first Gajaba Regiment there.
“After so much bloodshed Sri Lankans need to hold their leaders accountable in order to stop the repeated cycles of violence. Silva’s promotion however sends a message of total impunity,” added Ms. Sooka.
Silva’s appointment also throws into question US assistance to the Sri Lankan Army which is subject to Leahy Laws which prohibit the U.S. from providing military assistance to foreign security force units that violate human rights with impunity. The appointment could also potentially impact Sri Lanka’s recent resumption of deployment of UN peacekeepers. Peacekeeping deployment was put on hold for most of 2018 while more stringent vetting arrangements were put in place to ensure soldiers who had fought in units (such as Silva’s 58 Division) in areas where alleged war crimes took place in 2008-9 were screened out.
“I imagine there has been intense diplomatic lobbying to stop Sri Lanka taking this step – with all the consequences explained. It’s striking an own goal for any country to take this step and frankly disheartening particularly for the Rule of Law,” added Sooka.
“I very much hope Sri Lanka’s allies will now take a principled step and ensure Major General Shavendra Silva is not granted a visa to travel abroad even on official duty.” (ITJP)

This is such a disgusting appointment. Sri Lanka has signaled to the rest of the world that suspected butchers, are given top postings in this country, and that human rights violations are not an issue. This man has blood on his hands, and has been rejected visas by other nations barring him from entering their countries. Do we really need a man like this to represent us? Are we so short of decent military officials? Whatever happened to appointing a man of honor and integrity, and not stoop to appointing a man who has 137 pages full of reasons why he is a butcher, war criminal, and scoundrel? Sirisena has appointed him just before the elections, and we can be sure
he has devious reasons.
This is an embarrassment to our country, and we should all be ashamed.

“137 pages full of reasons why he is a butcher, war criminal, and scoundrel?”
137 pages with fabricated stories by ‘Koti Diaspora’. ‘Para Demalu’ have been very good in fabricating stories and misleading the International Community. ‘Para Demalu’ who are the descendants of slaves who have been living in the Land of Native Sinhalayo and Vedda Eththo came out with the biggest lie in history saying that North and East of the country is their ‘Traditional Homeland’. These ‘Para Demalu’ became citizens of this country because of British Rule after 1815.

CT,
According to Para-Sinhala Para-Budddists, Sri Lanka, actually the Land of Native Veddah Aethho, is a Para-Sinhala Para-“Buddhist” Land, but in fact is an insult to Buddhism and to the Buddha.
Your news item, if true, is another piece of data, to the substantial body of data accumulated , especially accumulated over the past Century.
In a nutshell, Para-Sinhala Para-“Buddhism “ practices hate, the philosophy of Mara, who opposed Buddha, compared to Maitri, compassion of Buddhism.
Wonder why there are hardly any Tamil Buddhists in Sri Lanka?
Read, Buddhism Betrayed in Sri Lanka by Dr. Stanley Thambiah, published about 26 years ago,

Amarasiri,
Both Vedda Eththo and Sinhalayo are Native people in Sinhale and they are relatives.
Ranaweera et. al. say:
“The haplotypes and analysis of molecular variance revealed that Vedda people’s mitochondrial sequences are more related to the Sinhalese than the Indian Tamils’ sequences.”
—
Demalu who are related to Indian Tamils are ‘Para’. These ‘Para Demalu’ became citizens of the Land of Native Sinhalayo and Vedda Eththo thanks to British colonial ‘Awajathakayo’.
—
Like those ancient Greeks who believed that the sun goes round the earth ‘Koti Diaspora’ guys want to cling to the idea that Sinhalayo have their origin in India despite overwhelming scientific proof that Sinhalayo evolved in this island. Can tell the truth to the donk*y but cannot force the donk*y to accept the truth.

Don’t blame the army for mistakes of politicians. Whatever the duty given to them, they will carry out without questions.

What you should look at is their courage and dedication to complete their missions.

They can’t decide, what missions they can and can’t undertake.

The job requires them to block all their emotions and feelings. These are distractions in their profession.

They saved you and me by selling their souls. What right do we have to judge them?

Shavendra Silva was earlier appointed Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN to give him diplomatic immunity from prosecution for war crimes.
Even now he is barred from entry to many countries.
The future of Tamils in the northeast has been made worse now due to this appointment – troops will now not desist from human rights violations and repression, and will assist the ‘saffron brigade’ in their activities in the northeast.
Does Sirisena think that this appointment will help all votes of armed forces and their family members to go to the candidate with past career in the army.

The War Criminal president’s only objective of appointing the War Criminal, Savage Indira as his Rapist Army Commander is to continue to be devil to Tamils who brought him hoping to get justice. He knows this will strain the country’s economy, Country’s relationship with International community. Why did this happen? It is Because Sinhala Politicians’ only operating mode is “even if they lose their nose, if it is ominous to Tamils that is fine” for them.
Lankawe has become more Evil Empire than one time USSR. It is reinventing the communism because of the political destruction done the political parties who took over the power from Britain.
1989 Gorbachev dismantled the world evil the USSR system. Deng Xiaoping gave a main turn to China’s communism hoping to turn around the China’s economy. Cuba is struggling to shrug it off, with passage of Castro. In Lankawe, in 1960s, the world renowned Socialist Party, LSSP bit the dust and merged into Sirimavo antisocial movement. The evil motive Colombo media kept the Sinhala Mahajan in dark from all these from 1948.
JVP’s murders were, so far only matched by Appe Aanduwa’s murders, but no other. Sinhala Mahajan, after 1980s, always has been paying their due respect to JVP’s murders. Until recently there was no hope that JVP can be a third force in Lankawe Politics. Mahajan tested UNP, They tested, LSSP, They tested SLFP, they are testing Slap Party. But without any satisfaction, they want to test now JVP. So the scene on the Galle Face Green, yesterday is a different story. Yesterday’s message clearly said that Lankawe moves on the opposite direction to the world. Modaya Mahajan who prefers to vote opposition party seems confused as no one to vote after SLFP-UNP merged Yahapalanaya. There is no opposition party; all are ruling parties.

Filthy Front Admirable,
Before you were born, Pilimathalawa put his Nephew’s children and wife’s head in wooden motor and grinded because Ehelepola has gone to drink white’s urine. You didn’t get to drink even the Malle Urine of Tamils when British Whites ruling the Ceylon. Anton Muttukumaru was the first Ceylonese Commander of the Army. Jeyam Jeyam ran out of Brasilia with one leg shoe from airport when Yasmin Sooka filed her case against him. Now you left the bitchy Lankawe to Middle East desert, with your women, seeking Wahhabi Arabian Malle Urine to drink. How do you wash your women in desert land because it is not sure what they are doing and they are making? All 40% of the Foreign Remittances are come from 15% Tamils. The rest 85% is making only 60%. Then the countries real income is coming from Up Country Tamils’ blood. Instead of talking through all holes you have, wash the women properly in the night so in day, they can wash properly Arabian Moonas for some foreign exchange you badly need. Otherwise, for their loan, Chinese are going grind your Kottaipakku and give it their women to drink. OIC wants your Aanduwa to allow Hezbollah and Zarhan to bomb all Tamil Churches and flood with their blood, otherwise they are going to send you and your women back home. So additionally you start wash the Lankawe Moonas too, with Arabian Moonas.
(Moda Front Admirable, do your works properly before Wahhabis chop off your head and your women heads. That will save Mangala again and again falling down on American’s legs to have them rescued. We are fine in Whites’ lands. Unlike Wildlife Sanctuary, SinhaLE Lankawe or Wahhabi desert lands there is democracy. Further the whole world now knows who the Sinhala Buddhists are. Don’t show too much your Peetal mouth)

Shavendra crushed two terrorist uprisings, JVP and LTTE. He deserves a cabinet position.

That is the very reason as to why this coward should be investigated by UNHRC.

Shavendra: Alleged war criminal, eh? So the author is saying that if the authorities feel that someone should get a position, it should be cancelled because he is an alleged something or the other.
.
The outcry of the terrorist supporters here shows that Shavendra deserves more than what he got. It also shows how money can talk (in this case money of Tamil terrorists) goes to affect the decisions taken by international bodies like the UN.
.
I did not like some of the things that Appaya has done. But this one I love. And for this single fearless decision I will give my vote for Appa if he ever contests the Presidential elections.
.
Shavendra was our great hero and the hero of so many beautiful ladies when he was in action. Weeven had SS fan club. He rewrote the annals of war due to his creativity in fighting the most brutal terrorists in the world.

So according to this [edited out] organization any army officer who fought the LTTE is a war criminal. What a joke . Shavendra is a war hero and fully deserved this promotion. He has not been convicted of any crimes, hence there is no justification to deny him this appointment. I applaud the president for making this appointment.
I am curious why Yasmin suka is bringing up JVP related issues from the 80s when she never brought any of this up all this time. What a joke.
