Despite pledges made by UK Foreign Secretary William Hague just a few weeks ago to tackle rape as a weapon of war, the asylum application of a Sri Lankan Tamil woman has been rejected by the UK authorities despite grave concerns regarding her safety in Sri Lanka.
William Hague
Jonathan Miller of Channel Four has reported that the woman (whose identity has been protected for her safety) who arrived in UK in 2010 has been kept in detention since last November, when she was placed on a fast-track deportation route due to overstaying her visa.
Despite a judge ruling in favour of a judicial review, subsequent appeals have been rejected due to her former involvement with the LTTE, despite serious concerns of being seriously abused by Sri Lankan authorities upon her return.
The woman has claimed that she was taken away from her home in 2009 and brought to a military base where she was tortured and raped repeatedly by six men over a course of three weeks.
Channel Four reports that Expert Evidence provided by a clinical psychologist at Kings College has concluded that her claims of rape are credible and that she is suffering from PTSD. The expert has further noted she poses a suicide risk.
In his report Miller has quoted a Foreign Office Spokesman who was aware of this specific case as stating, “We attach great importance to ensuring that vulnerable survivors of sexual violence are dealt with sensitively throughout their asylum or immigration applications… Where, in an individual case, a person raises material issues about safety on return, the Home Office will review it.”
The Global Summit to end sexual violence in conflict was held in June and was hosted by Hague and Angeline Jolie. During the event, pledges were made to specifically investigate claims that Tamil asylum seekers are being deported despite availability of evidence of being abused by Sri Lankan authorities.
Sri Lankan government boycotted the summit and is yet to endorse the Declaration of Commitment to end sexual violence in conflict that has already been signed by 155 countries including Cambodia, Burma and Nigeria. It has been reported that Sri Lanka has not endorsed it due to fears concerning the possibility of its content being used against Sri Lanka at the international inquiry by the UN Human Rights Office on alleged abuses of human rights and international humanitarian law during the final phases of the conflict.

Dear Tamil separatist impersonating a Veddha,
Rape is not a joke it is a very serious matter. That’s what I wrote in my post to you of July 6, 2014 at 10:21 pm.
Every time you write, your propensity to Lie gets exposed. What made you skip over the first sentence? Reading difficulties?
Re “I never knew those rape victims filming the act while being raped”
Your ignorance and deceit cannot be covered by your sarcasm.
The legal system of ANY COUNTRY demands proof of Rape.
Re “Probably those rapes were meant to exorcise GG Ponna’s Nawalapitya speech”
Again the Cowardice ingrained in you surfaces.
Ponna’s Hate speech at Nawalapitiya triggered the First Tamil Sinhala Race Riot of the 20th Century but it has no relevance here.
You ran away from that discussion but if you want to restart it on this webpage too, you are welcome to try.
BTW is Blacker (who has a Tamil mother) active on this page?
Hiding and attacking is a Hallmark of a Coward.

The braggart is hiding behind a faceless “Javi” which may or may not be his name. Most probably “Javi” is phony, judging from the freedom with which he writes Filth and Gutter language on a public platform such as CT.

“also operate from this ideological platform and draw inspiration from a Sri Lankan role model Anagarika Dharmapala”
“In the case of Thiru, a 25-year-old Sri Lankan Tamil facing deportation and showing increasing signs of trauma while in detention at the Brook House immigration removal centre at Gatwick, a doctor’s medico-legal report in January said: “My professional opinion, from the physical and psychological evidence presented to me, is that there is nothing in the clinical picture to suggest a false allegation of mistreatment. On the contrary, [he] displays clinical symptoms and observed features which in my opinion are highly compatible with a history of torture.””

Dear Anpu,
I don’t wear a mask that hides my ethnicity, Nationality or Religion. I am a Sinhalese, a Sri Lankan and a Buddhist and have declared that many a time. The only thing that you cant find about me are my personal details that can be used to trace me and where I live. The reason for that is the safety of my family and myself because my writings are hitting hard at the Virulent Propaganda of Rabid Tamil Separatists.
The Tamil in a Veddha Mask is wearing a mask that hides all of those things by impersonating Lanka’s Aborigines, but strangely you don’t find that objectionable.
Re “you are the big joker and liar”
I can say the same thing about you and anyone else for that matter. But saying it and proving it are two different things.
You and the other separatists who have tried to challenge what I write failed consistently because what I write is the TRUTH and is backed up by authoritative references. Hence until you prove me wrong, hurling untenable accusations makes you the Liar and the Joker.
Please note that I have no intention of weaning you from your separatist viewpoint. But What I write is meant to show up the deceitful propaganda that you and the others are shamelessly propagating. But I must say that so far, I have not found you to be a Rabid Separatist like the others.
My writings will give the Rational Reader enough material to prevent them from being hoodwinked by the Distorted Trash that gutless people like Thiru write.
Thiru attacked Dr Rajasingham Narendran on June 28, 2014 at 4:45 pm because he could not tolerate what Dr RN wrote.

In a reply addressed to me and Umberto Gui On June 29, 2014 at 7:10 am Thiru issued an OPEN Challenge.
“Let anybody capable of scientific thinking and analysis tell me where I went wrong in the analysis”
He was trying to impress the Readers in to believing that he wrote the truth. I called his BLUFF and wrote a reply on June 29, 2014 at 12:54 pm.

Now let’s see how your charge stands up.
The Tamil Separatist impersonating a Veddha asked (July 6, 2014 at 4:37 pm)
Does rape constitute a joke?
My response was
Rape is not a joke it is a very serious matter. But claiming rape in the absence of evidence (medical or otherwise) is a joke.
Now please explain how that is RACIST?
You see Anpu throwing accusations is easy proving them is not.
Claiming Rape when all evidence has been destroyed can be done by anybody (whether virgin or male). Especially by someone who is a prospective economic refugee of an affluent country.
How many of these rapes have caused pregnancies?
How many babies have been born to the “Raped” victims?
With the claimed preponderance of rape, which is claimed to be taking place commonly even today, it would be very strange indeed not to have Tamil single mothers bringing up Sinhalese fathered children, unless of course all those who were raped were barren.
PTSD develops after a terrifying ordeal that involved physical harm or the threat of physical harm. The person who develops PTSD may have been the one who was harmed, the harm may have happened to a loved one, or the person may have witnessed a harmful event that happened to loved ones or strangers. (National Institutes of Health)
A person need not even be a VICTIM in order to develop PSTD. Hence unless supported by other evidence, PSTD in itself proves nothing about the truthfulness of the Rape claim.
I have responded to that COWARD Tamil in a Veddha Mask who addressing another fool like himself says “Have you noticed, the virtuous Sinhala/Buddhists believe Rape is joke and demand proof”
The Lying Fool tries his Lying antics when I have specifically said Rape is not a joke it is a very serious matter. The joker has no guts to address me and is seeking help from a foul mouthed gutter snipe!
BTW both your links lead to the same article and I cannot find what you say about Thiru there.

Dear Anpu,
The Guardian report is mainly centered around the so called “Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict” Hence my previous post answers the question about Thiru.
But this was no global summit to end sexual violence in conflict as non of the presenters at that sham summit, took up for discussion any of the Global players against whom documented evidence is available (even in the public domain). How Mr William Hague and Ms Angelina Jolie sat through that so called “Global Summit” without squirming beats me.
It was a finely choreographed attack on Sri Lanka to advance the Tamil Separatist agenda.
It was hilarious to read the following about the CORRUPT Ms Yasmin Sooka, who by the way was a dignitary at that conference.
“A report this year by Yasmin Sooka, a member of the Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales, found that “abduction, arbitrary detention, torture, rape and sexual violence have increased in the postwar period”
Ms. Yasmin Sooka together with her colleagues Mr. Marzuki Darusman and Mr. Steven R. Ratner have EXONERATED the LTTE from the war crime of using Human Shields despite the overwhelming evidence that says otherwise.
They have done this by giving the ICRC IHL Rule 97 a diagonally opposed interpretation to that of the ICRC itself.
They have succumbed to monetary or political pressure that they could not resist.
Ms. Sooka and her colleagues are CORRUPT. Using her or her reports or those of her colleagues at any conference, strips that conference or “summit” of all credibility, despite the attendance by other high profile personnel.
Kind Regards,
OTC

The rajapaksa’s are known to be vindictive, and many journalists who are killed, kidnapped or missing, proves that this woman, who has accused the troops of a crime, may be telling the truth.

“Rape victims in England don’t stand a chance so where will these Tamil women get a hearing.”
You may be right however independent.co.uk reported the following news item on 10 January 2013:
“Prosecutions are mounted against 2,910 individuals, resulting in the convictions of 1,070 rapists who committed an average of 2.3 offences each. The figures suggest that just one major sex crime in 38 leads to a conviction for the offence.”
Was Independent news paper lying?
” They will need forensic reports to prove that a crime was committed.”
Thanks for your information. I never knew that the rape victims need forensic reports to prove that a crime was indeed committed. It is indeed a difficult task.
You must be very pleased with your own argument/defence for the rapist. You must be relishing your moment of glory. Its time to pat on your own back.
“Thyey are getting wiser by the day about the LTTE and the British Tamil Forum because their funds are n ot coming in.”
In fact you wish no rapist should be held accountable for their crime.
Truth manifests in mysterious ways. Therefore hold your breath.

Dear Peace Lover,
Great observation that you made when you wrote
“in the meantime the sinhala women keep giving birth to children born to their masters in the middle east”
That gives rise to the very pertinent question,
How many Tamil women claiming “Rape” have given birth to their rapist’s children?
Re “didnt include Tamodayas wife as she was sterile!”
Was STERILITY the reason that all the Tamil victims of “Rape” failed to conceive and bear children of their rapists?
If not then what? Bogus claims?
