Two New Witnesses Claim They Independently Saw “The White Flag Incident”

By Frances Harrison –

Frances Harrison

Two eyewitnesses have come forward for the first time to support allegations that the Sri Lankan army executed two Tamil Tiger rebel leaders after they surrendered, carrying a white flag, at the close of the island’s civil war in 2009.

Their accounts cast fresh doubt on the Sri Lankan government’s claim that the rebels were killed by their own supporters and add to a growing body of evidence of war crimes allegedly committed by the Sri Lankan military during the conflict.

Last week, The Independent published photographs of the 12-year-old son of the Tamil Tiger chief eating a snack after being captured by the Sri Lankan army. Shortly afterwards, he was shot five times in the chest, probably at very close range according to a forensics expert.

The two new witnesses in what has become known as “the white flag incident” can testify they independently saw from different vantage points the Tamil Tiger leaders accepted into the custody of the Sri Lankan military and escorted from the front line, alive.

One witness, who did not want to give his name fearing retribution against his family in Sri Lanka, worked as a bodyguard to the Tiger political leaders. Badly injured in the last month of the war, he surrendered to save his life and says he reluctantly became an informer for the Sri Lankan army.

Now in London, he says he was taken to the front by members of the Sri Lankan military on the morning of 18 May 2009, and positioned behind an earth embankment. His job was to confirm the identity of the Tamil political leaders as they walked towards the army carrying white flags. He says it looked like a well-organised surrender with hundreds of soldiers, including senior officers with bodyguards, present.

The second witness, a government teacher, also now in London, says he was press-ganged into service for the rebels in the last months of the war. Hours before the incident, he says he also surrendered, knowing that the war was over and it was his only chance of survival. After being searched, he says he was held with others in a derelict building close to the front line. From this position he watched several groups of Tamil Tiger leaders and their relatives walk out of the war zone towards the Sri Lankan army, carrying white flags.

He admits he was surprised to see the leader of the Tiger political wing,  Nadesan, his Sinhalese wife and the head of the Tiger Peace Secretariat,  Pulidevan, in the first group. Officially the Tigers did not hold with surrender, issuing all recruits with cyanide capsules to wear around their necks to use in case of capture.

Both witnesses say Sri Lankan soldiers went out to greet several groups of surrendering rebels and escorted them over a bridge across a lagoon to waiting vehicles on the other side.

The former bodyguard waited for more than an hour until the military put him in the back of a pick-up truck and drove him away. Along the road he spotted soldiers taking photos on their mobile phones of corpses lying on the ground. As they went past, he recognised Pulidevan and Nadesan’s bodies. Photographs have since appeared on websites abroad showing the two Tiger leaders’ half-naked corpses, with bullet wounds and burn marks on their chests.

The “white flag” incident also involved approximately 40 other rebels believed to have negotiated a surrender with the Sri Lankan government. None of them have been seen since.

Tamil Tiger rebels conducted a vicious campaign of terror for a separate homeland for decades, using suicide bombers to kill civilians and scores of politicians, including a President and an Indian Prime Minister.

Pulidevan and Nadesan were two of the most senior rebels to surrender. In the hours beforehand, they used satellite phones to send messages to diplomats, journalists and peace mediators to ensure top Sri Lankan officials, including the country’s President, knew of their intention to lay down their arms. They had been assured that their surrender would be accepted if they raised a white flag.

However, the Sri Lankan defence ministry’s website lists Pulidevan and Nadesan as killed by troops of the 58th Division on 18 May 2009.

Sri Lanka’s government holds that the Tiger leaders were shot in the back by their own people, and say the army never executed any individuals.

Allegations the Sri Lankan army and rebels  committed war crimes at the end of a brutal war are widespread. According to United Nations investigators, the last months saw repeated and deliberate government shelling of hospitals, food queues and safe zones for civilians.

    Dear Frances

    Thanks a lot for the info.

    You seem absolutely obsessed with the last 3 days of a 30 year long conflict.

    When you have some time off, please find out why the God Mother of all female LTTE cadre Adele Balasingham still live in freedom in London. Obviously, that woman inspired much death and destruction.

    Further, see whether you could start an accountability process in the UK. Into millions of Sterling raised in the UK by LTTE and then transferd to VP’s war chest in Vanni, Sri Lanka. To destroy life and property in Sri Lanka. And boy, destroy they did for 30 long years. While you did nothing.

    Why were the world’s worst terror outfit, the LTTE, allowed to congregate in UK at all?

    Please let us know why your former employer BBC referes to LTTE killers as rebels, while calling 7/7 bombers of London nothing but terrorists. Classic British hypocrisy?

      Ben please round up rest of the war criminals and take them to ICC, Adele will follow you. Be a man.

          Ben Hurling you are absolutly correct in your statement, but my worry is while Nadasen and Pulidevan advocating the LTTE caders not to surrender instead to take the cyinide capsule hung around their neck in case of capture.Look at the double standerd of these saviours of tamil people.They are all corrupt as Rajapakshas and tere is no differnce between them.

          “I am for rounding up all who commit crimes and punishing them severely and swiftly”

          I don’t believe in punishing the perpetrators. It does not help build trust between people.

          The idea is to name and shame the culprits.

          Perpetrators should be allowed to trade Confessions for their earned amnesty. No question about not rounding up the clever dicks. It worked in South Africa.

          The process should cover all war crimes committed since 5th April 1971.

          The state should account for every single person who lost his/her life, severely injured, tortured, ……… in the conflict.

          There are more, we will deal with them some other time.

      Yeah, let’s just find a fault with somebody else so that we can avoid talking about the issues that pertain to us, shall we? Ben Hurling, you may not realize that it is not Frances Harrison who will have to live among the murders depicted in those photographs. You better pray to who ever the deity you believe in that none of your loved ones will cross paths with one of these monsters.

      Those subhumans have completely rendered useless the brave sacrifices thousands of other soldiers made over the years. There were countless acts of brotherhood and friendship by other soldiers. But none of that will ever be talked about because all that is been overshadowed by the ruthlessness act of these butches. Like a parasite whose well being depends on the host, Ben Hurling is only intersted in the well being of the Rajapaksas but not the country or its citizens.

      Members of the armed forces, who conducted themselves professionally, should be furious with the butches, who wasted a glorious victory, and political tools trying to defend that animal behavior. Citizens of the country should be furious that a chance for peace and prosperity is being wasted by an incompetant leader who is brining shame to this country that we will have to carry for generations to come.

      But instead, we are all mad at Frances Harrison.

        I am no fan of corrupt Rajapassa clan. I can’t wait to see them gone.

        Agree with you. Sri Lankan Armed Forces and Police have been committing serious HR violations since Independenece with total impunity. Both SLFP and UNP have been looking the other way. It suits their short term needs.

        Things got worse during the Ealam wars. I am horrified by the killing of Ramesh despite his brutal track record. These elements with in law enforcement are a source of deep shame to all Sri Lankans. I fully support punishing these criminals severely and swiftly.

        My problem is with Western hypocrisy. West is largely responsible for nourishing the LTTE over 30 years. By allowing fund raising. And by allowing propaganda to operate from their soil. Specially UK. Sri Lanka had to beg to gain any intelligence of real value against the LTTE. Weapons we neeed badly from Western suppliers never came.

        Vioelent, ethno-tamil nationalists have now rebranded themselves after Ealam war 1V debacle. They call themselves BTF and TGTE etc. And are plotting to do the same again. Guess, who is jumping to protect them? Likes of Frances Harrison. These people really think Sri Lankans are idiots.

        6000 soldiers were killed in action during the last phase of Ealam War 1V. Thousands now sit on wheel chairs for life. Frances never mentions these things. Why? They are not heroes? Only UK soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan are? Sri Lankan soldiers do not have families that grieve and weep?

        Please get Frances to answer my question. Very simple. Why are blood thirsty LTTE called “Rebels” and 7/7 bombers in London are called terrorists by BBC? What’s the differnce?

    “Last week, The Independent published photographs of the 12-year-old son of the Tamil Tiger chief eating a snack after being captured by the Sri Lankan army. Shortly afterwards, he was shot five times in the chest, probably at very close range according to a forensics expert.”

    The writer by publicizing this unsubstantiated claim shows she has her own sinister agenda. On closer examination of the photos, 2 things are troubling. The bunker shown in the first two photos is too clean and neat to believe it was during the final moments of the fighting that Balachandran was sitting there. It appears the photos were taken much earlier. Further a close examination of the hairline on the forehead in the first two photos with that on the photo of the dead body is markedly different. There is more hair in the first two photos almost covering the forehead.

    The killing of Balachandran is heinous. Exploiting the poor innocent boy’s death for politics is unpardonable.

    During the final days of fighting Prabakaran, Pulidevan and Nadesan held thousands of innocent Tamil civilians as human shield to protect themselves and killed many of them when they tried to escape – substantiated by several hundreds of Tamil eye witnesses now in the diaspora free from LTTE intimidation.

      Very good observation. I also noticed that top two pictures of pair of shorts he was wearing has a different color and also black stripe is on left of top two pictures and on right of the last picture. He looked older in the last picture. I feel time difference is at least not 2 hours should be at least a year. therefore bunker picture was taken by the LTTE. last pictures was taken after his death.

      The independent is trying to fool every body.

          question is whether he shot him self or not. Those pictures does not
          show that army captured the child. I am sure that bunker was a LTTE bunker. I am not saying army did not killed him. No body can say that child was captured by the army and killed from those pictures.

            “You are rendering an invaluable service to humanity by constantly demonstrating the inherent limitations of the human intellect lest we take ourselves too seriously and kill each other.”

    Nice! Rajapaksa and his brother are bad. But evidence from a man who worked with a brutal terror organization? Brainwashed to believe , they were right in killing thousands of innocent people. Why were the tigers not attacking the law makers who were proper gating ethnic divides? Why kill innocent Sri Lankans. We want Tamils with us as Sri Lankans we always did. We protected our near and dear friends when ever they were attacked and they would do the same for us. Terrorists are different. This man security guard or not he was a terrorist . His word is garbage. Terrorists lie just like the Rajapaksas

    I have heard from sources that Nadesan’ s wife- a Sinhalese- who was leading the group with Nadesan, Pulithevan, VP’s son Charles Anthony, carrying a white flag, in a loud voice told the army personnel ahead that she was a Sinhalese in Sinhala. The reply was in utter filth, calling into question her character. The group was thereafter fired at.

    Although, this is the essence of the purported white flag incident, the circumstances surrounding this incident are not clear. The war was yet being intensely fought and the real intentions of the LTTE were unclear. Attempts at suicide bombing were anticipated, because of past experience. The soldiers were as tense as the LTTE cadres. It was potentially an explosive and nerve racking situation, where each side feared the worst from the other. No one in Colombo, New Delhi , London or New York, could have been in control of the situation and given orders. No one could have told the soldiers to risk their lives. Events were bound to unfold, dictated by perceptions of fear rather than any vindictiveness or malice. Rational reactions cannot be expected in such circumstances from any party to a war. It was each one to himself and each side to itself, trying to save their own lives. It is foolish and futile trying to judge such unfortunate events out of context of the circumstances and many years after they occurred.

      Nadesan & Co may have got what they deserved karmic ally speaking. Yet this is a selective and adversarial form of defence ignoring all requests for 3rd party monitoring of the surrender for the powers that are apparently in appreciation of past gullible and delusional good times at the Mt Lavinia Hotel and other places with even greater expectation of rewards for a better things to yet come?!

      RN,

      The surrender was an event negotiated and agreed to by several parties inside and outside Sri Lanka. As such there was no cause for tension or nervousness on the part of the SL military but the LTTE party understandably would have been very tense as they were the surendees. The decision to kill the lot appears to have been taken by Gota. It was a war crime and there should be no escape from this charge for those who made the decision and for those who carried out the dastardly deed.

        The surrender or any thing else negotiated with the tigers holds no water. These fellows word was garbage, they were untrustworthy, after all they were killers. They killed good people like Neelan thiruchelvam and many others. These are kind of like their own . How do you trust that, with. The white flag , they would not have a suicide bomb kit hidden some where. Would any of you risk your life? So why should a soldier? Because they are poor?

        Have you been in the circumstances I have outlined or those close to it? Have you spoken to individuals who survived the hell, the last stages of the war was? Have you been surrounded by armed men, who have no idea of what awaits them and are in fear as much as you are? Have you faced a rampaging mob in a riot?

        If not, you do not know what you are talking about. Fear is not only felt, but it can be smelled in such circumstances. As I have said no agreement reached outside the immediate war zone or orders arising there from, would have had no effect on what could possibly transpire. This was the reason Vijay Nambiar- the retired army officer in the UN, was reluctant to accede to the persistent demands of Marie Collins, the journalist. I do not blame Marie Collins. Although, she was a seasoned veteran who had reported from war zones, her human instincts dominated. Her efforts were however futile given the circumstances.

      Very good point, last hours of war was very incentive as we heard the both side feared one another.LTTE cant be trusted even they have come with a whit flag. Their history is such that they cant be trusted upon.One example was how they massacred nearly 500 police men in the east after they surrendered to the LTTE.

      I totally disagree.
      There is no point in a pathetic cover up for murderous soldiers, officers and war criminals who are US citizens/residents sitting in Colombo.

      Palitha Kohonna as the Foreign Secretary was involved directly in direct negotiations with UN officials and Eric Solheim regarding the white flag surrender, with Basil and Gota Rajapakse in the loop. He had admitted it and video/audio footage is available courtesy of Al Jazeera.

      If it was so dangerous for both parties then the GOSL should not have lied to Norway, UN and others.

      FYI, Nambiar called KP from the Amman airport in Jordan and confirmed of the arrangements. Cannot divulge other evidence in our hands in this forum. There will be a day and a forum where credible and acceptable information/evidence be made available, with witnesses as well. It is nonsensical to make an argument that trigger happy and nervous soldiers shot hundreds of surrendering soldiers of the LTTE, women and children as well as innocent civilians.

      You or the war criminals can try the “MY LAI” defense, which did not work even for the US soldiers/officers. Good luck to the State Terrorist.

      Trying to make lame arguments is showing the true colors.

      Even IPKF soldiers did not try that defense and they too got away with murder and rape. Now the GOSL, GOI and SLA are constructing memorials all over the country for the same Indian murderers and rapist. lol.

      By the way Charles Anthony died in the battle field and not while surrendering. You have heard it wrong.

      Killing surrendering officials or civilians is War Crimes.
      Excuses won’t be tolerated by international or US courts as well as any tribunal. Unless it is another “Silva Tribunal” or Rajapakse acolyte court.

      Pullithevan, Nadesan and others were not fighters but were involved in and as peace negotiators with the Rajapakse GOSL (twice or Thrice) and with the UNF government whose negotiators were US born Milinda Moragoda, G L Peries, and Rauf Hakeem. Now they are all doing the lap dance on the Rajapakse brothers and sons.

      Dr Rajasingham:

      Your account of this madness during those final hours appear duplicitous. Available information shows the cynical attitude of the regime that it indeed planned to execute those surrendering (SR) in the white-flag case.

      When Nambiar wanted to be the UN witness to receive those surrendering, Mahinda Rajapakse and Palitha Kohona both assured that that was not necessary as the army was dsiciplined and all the SR had to do was to show the white flag and walk towards the army’s position, which they did. And now evidence has emerged that they were actually taken into custody and was summarily executed thereafter. Does that indicate madness or calculated?

    This is inconsistent.

    If the first batch of surrendering LTTEers were killed on 18 May 2009, why did Balachandran surrender on 19 May 2009? They had communication equipment and knew what happened to the first batch of surrendering Tigers.

    I always wonder why that court jester of bygone yore, Dayan Jayatilleke, never mentions such things. How could a diplomatic “victory” at Geneva possibly be complete without mention of the porno corpse collection a la Sri Lankan Army?

    On the other hand, we have another clown in resident, Herr Blockhead, who has actually justified the above behavior along the lines of “we were only 18 or 19 and most of us had never seen a naked woman before”.

          I can assure you I have received no payment for my opinions. If the GoSL were to pay everyone who feels like I do, they’ll have to pay over every rupee in the country.

        I doubt your mother would agree with such an assessment, Blacker. Then again, have you figured out which tourist is your father? As an aside, desecrating corpses is very much a war crime.

          “Then again, have you figured out which tourist is your father?”

          This is bit below the belt.

            Nothing is too far below the belt for this Hitler-worshipping bigot who believes that Muslims and Jews should be wiped out from the world, Native. Be proud of your allies on this forum. In fact, I am told he reaches below his belt quite regularly whenever CH4 publishes some pix of dead men and women :D

            Heshan/Lester/etc, coming from someone who was fathered by a pariah dog, your insults are snot to be wiped off. Like most of your ilk, you have nothing but insults in place of arguments. I guess it’s in the blood ;)

        Of course we know the regime and you don’t give a shit. Can I also say that the way the regime is being dragged into in the international arena is what this regime deserve?

          Let them get what they deserve. If they walk away free will you also agree that that’s what they deserve? my point is no one is going to be dragged into a court over the deaths of murderers, terrorists, and other sundry vermin, so if that’s your plan, good luck. You’ll need it.

    The Singhalese are convinced that their soldiers are war heroes. No amount documentary making or book writing is going to convince them otherwise. Dirty war or not. The Forces are on the ground in Tamil areas. They have the ability to make life, heaven or hell for the people in those regions. This is the harsh reality of the situation. Agitating the army only makes thing s worse for the war affected. Frances is not helping, only reopening old wounds.

    “The Singhalese are convinced that their soldiers are war heroes. “

    Sinhalese believe anything just as their Tamil brethren’s faith in LTTE and what VP said.

    Both are two irredeemably stupid people.

    dear maam,
    your little bit of late exposure on the ‘white flag case ‘ cannot hold water. mainly, your informants were former tiger rebels who have had privy to killing the army, the tamil citizens and innocent muslim and sinhalese villagers who lived in the borders of the main conflict towns. further, that they seeked protection or turned informants to save their bloody skin does make them very uncredible witnesses,
    now in london living a cosy life probably under aliases does make them nothing but lap dogs. this kind of genre killed and miamed thousands of innocent civilians in villages, wwhilst praying in mosquess and temples, when fast asleep in theis abodes etc, etc.
    the army was invovled in the protection of all citizens and the rebels of any kind eleminated to free this country.
    in war, you kill or get killed, the two scum heads whom you have mentioned, i my opinion have had an easy death.
    the next time you feel like writing about the late war, which is history now,please make sure your facts are credible and so are your witnesses. please dont’t make your self a sissy!
