Colombo Telegraph is in possession of video footage that show members of the Special Task Force (STF) of the Police Department or Sri Lankan Army in cahoots with those who have perpetrated violence against Muslims in Kandy district.
The video clearly shows the assailant humiliating his victim, bragging about what he did, while STF/Army personnel look on and laugh.
He is heard saying ‘It is because of what I did to you that you now find yourself on the streets, isn’t that so?’
The STF/Army officers present do nothing to apprehend the thug who has just confessed to his crimes in their presence. They only laugh.
Watch the video below:

Quite right SM! The SInhala masses, who are suffering under massive economic inequality and DEBT CRISIS due to the Bondscam at Central Bank, Fake Development projects of Mahinda Jarapassa, and Ranil’s neoliberal and neocon. economic reforms, find Muslims as scapegoats for the crimes of the Great Sinhala rulers – Ranil, Mahinda and Sirisena. Same thing happened in 1983 when JRJ did his neoliberal project. The fact is that Ranil is selling the country to foreign interests and people are fighting among themselves, because they are powerless against the corrupt politicians and their foreign backers including IMF that work for Global 1 percent.
Ranil has completed his partner in crime – Mahinda Rajapaksa’s and Goon Gota’s project of Divide, Distract and RULE. ..

Sir do you know that Muslims in this country speak Tamil at home and practice many Tamil traditions but still think that their forefathers are Arabs and Arabs will help them?
Do you know that before the arrival of Portuguese there were no so-called Muslim in N-E of the country but today these people encroach not only temple lands but also the cemetery of Tamils?
My comment about Saudi accepts these Tamil speaking Muslims is nothing wrong but in reality, Arabs treat Asian Muslims as shits go and see in the Middle East.

When Tamils here massacred there was a guy called Karu-Nai-Nidhi ruling TN ..to please the imported Italina woman he crushed all uproar…demonstrations with iron fist.
The solution here is atleast after this Muslims must realise there are not special people but converted hindus few hundred years ago and join with N-E Tamils in politics.If they still believe the sweet words of their Muslim leaders and Ulamahs who are living in stone age …their futute is dark.
Else tomorrow even lorry load of thugs enter Caliphate of Kaththankudy and attack all with the blessing of Sinhala security

Actually, the Sinhala, Tamils and Muslims are Paras from South India.

So the Para-Sinhala, Para-Tamils and Para-Muslims are Paras from South India., and should be sent back to their homeland Southern India, including cholan, a remnant of the Para-Chola invaders.
Mitochondrial DNA history of Sri Lankan ethnic people: their relations within the island and with the Indian subcontinental populations.

When they came for the Tamils , the Muslims did not keep quiet but joined in the anti Tamil dance and took part gleefully , stating that despite speaking Tamil , following Tamil customs and culture and having Tamil ancestry , they are not Tamils but Arabs/Moors( sic) . Now the anti Tamil dance is over and their former Sinhalese dance partners do not want to dance with them but beat them up and they are blinking and crying ” why are you beating us” after all we greatly helped you to kill more than 300000 innocent Tamils chase 1.2 million of them to the west and India and destroy Hindu temples and grab lands, especially in the east , where we still want to grab and steal lands”. We thought you will divide the victory spoils with us and give the east to us on a platter but now don’t want to but everything for you. Please don’t beat us go and beat up the Tamils again. We are not Tamils but Arabs. Look at the way we dress and behave now. Just like Wahhabi Salafist Arabs. Our Saudi masters who fund us to create chaos.

I am not surprised at all. If Sri lanka had investigated and prosecuted all those who committed violence, rape and sexual assaults on Tamils as stipulated in LLRC, Sri Lanka would instilled a semblance of rule of law. This would have sent a message that no one will be spared. Its only the Muslims who cares; this was the attitude when such things were happening to the Tamils.
By contrast, when some Sinhala villages were assaulted by the police over a protect during MR regime, many sinhala heavyweights spoke out including Dayan J. At least Sampanthan raised the issue at the parliament.

1983 riots were carried out by UNP sponsored thugs same like 2018 anti-Muslim riots. Another UNP government, different thugs. It spread the same way, ignited one place and let it spread. Some hooligans sponsored by stupid politicians, and some sidekicks not knowing government’s real motive took part in Muslim-Sinhala riots.
Same as 1983, ordinary Sinhalese protected Muslims this time too, including Buddhist monks who sent away some people from attacking mosques and even stayed there overnight to protect the mosque.

Dear Champawati,
Did any of those monks take a telephone call to Ranil or Jeyam or Mahesh & said them “these guys are gone to nightclub to see girls, we are guarding the Mosque, so send the cheques to us tomorrow morning? “
What is this drama you all are playing, Bald headers orders for the arson, Rapist Army bring the gasoline, Mobs set the fire. Now what is this U turn? the boomerang has returned? Then, what the bald heads have got to do in a Mosques? You people don’t have men’s room in Buddhist Temples so they went to mosques to pee?
You wrote the shameless racism all time here & now wearing a Reda to write these new gimmicks. Shut up man! Ramil is better foxy racist, knows well to camouflage his racism under his politics. You only a “L” board in playing that double game.

This is typical Sinhala mentality ..Tamils have experienced this since 1956….Sinhala forces allow killing and .. looting.
During the peak of Tamil massacre in 1983 Mr.Dharmister went on radio and said ..if they want peace I will give peace ..and if they want war I will give war…thus encouraged Buddhists to massacre Tamils
If Buddha visits this country today he will commit suicide.
Sunday SIL Monday KILL was practiced freely.

Your idealism is admirable. But don’t you know that the forces are 98% Sinhala, and drawn from the least intelligent parts of society (they can’t get another job). You expect them to “protect all citizens equally” ?
The government knows this very well, that’s why they are not ordered to arrest Gnanasara for example. The govt. doesn’t want a mutiny on its hands in addition to a riot.
If this continues, we WILL have foreign intervention.

/
Villageman / March 9, 2018
People die everyday: murders, suicides, accidents. Why did Ganasara select this death to visit the funeral? Because, the assailants were Muslims.
Many Muslims were killed by Buddhists in accidents and murders, but no Muslim politician or clergy visited the funeral unless they are relatives or friends. Today Gnanasara listed out many incidents that involved Muslims and Buddhists and reportedly initiated by Muslims. He never thinks about Muslims who died at the hands of Buddhists. When the JMO proved that Wasim Thajudeen was tortured to death before burning, did any Muslim leader looked at it through a racial lens?
In my view, not only Gnanasara but also all the monks and activists who visited the funeral without any relationship or friendship should be arrested and jailed for 20 years.
That is the only way to prevent this nonsense forever.

More than 25 Muslims worship places set on fire by Budda Terrorists .. why ?? Buddha ordered ? NO……….But Kaavi rowdies who themselves claim as followers of Budda , ordered so it happened.
Destiny started to work so a Budda Kaavi Terrorist with his kaadayos , was killed when tried to make a petrol bomb to throw on a mosk in Kattugastota ,. But now all Kaavi Terrorist are spreading news Muslims attacked pansal.. Muslims had a right to retaliate but they ddnt do it at all……The Muslims and Kiristians are the Most forbearing community since 1915..
There are hundred of thousands Budhists are living where Muslims are majority but even a single Budhist was not under attack.. No pansala attacked.
Thats why Head of Defence said ‘ Sin Keleya are traitors and ungrateful DOGS . Becuause of Muslims great support Military won the war thus the srilankan budhists are living without fear of Tamil Terrorists…….But of course there are Racist Polickaaraya and aamikaaraya who support kaavi rowdies.

The Culture of Impunity is entrenched by the Jarapalaya boss – RW and his Colombo 7 Royal College boys who are.protecting the previous crooked regime of Mahinda Jarapassa and his foreign citizen brothers in the name of RECONCILIATION! What a farce!

@Gobba
Sir do you know even at the peak of war there were Sinhala fish Mudalalies lived and worked in Batticaloa? Even when they travel to Colombo tigers never checked them why?
These Mudalalies mind their own business never became spies to Sinhala forces to kill Tamils ..but Muslims who lived and earned their living by trading in Tamil areas became spies ..collaborators to Sinhala army and indirectly responsible for untold hardship and destruction of Tamils.
KARMA rotate simply that.

I think it was in 2007 STF was of accused of rounding up and raping more than 150 under aged young girls in the East. Mahinda was made aware of this heinous crime, nothing happened. I was told the members of the STF were transferred out of that particular area to another which means transferring a huge problem to another area as usual and not dealing with it head on.

Congrats This news is not at all a surprise, Lankawe is back in international news media both cable and print, in all glory for wrong reasons, headlines screaming Lanka on fire, Buddhist mob on rampage,as usual TV showing clergy on the front line leading the mob,comparisons to Myanmar and some of past glories added for tit bits.Enjoy while you are at it, What a disgrace an embarrassment
/
Rajash / March 8, 2018
whats new.
STF was created to deal with the Tamils. Dr Dayan Jayatillke the ex Diplomat has confessed elsewhere here in CT, to put the Tamils in their place as.
whenever there is a riot against Tamils or Muslims, the general pattern is for the Govt to let it happen for two or three days. They need to convince the international community that they are taking some action. So they then deploy water cannons and STF to “disperse” the “hired mob”…not to arrest any one.
But now if the rioters are from minority, the STF, RAF , ARMY will show their full might and “arrest” the “Terrorist”

For the same reason why there are so many temples, churches and Vihares through out this island. Stop building Vihares and temples and then demand the Muslims to stop building their Mosques.

Simon ,
Why the Fxxk is Masjid your problem ? Muslims want Masjid and
they build it ! Do Muslims ask you why the fxxk , there are Temples
in every corner ? Why don’t you ask instead the right question from
your saffron thugs why they are on the streets half naked shouting
in filth at Muslims ? Is that what you want from them ? Are you sure
in Temples you have Monks and not Goons ? You feed them and
provide shelter in the name of a great human or villain ? Police , Army
and Monks all in uniform have a job to perform . They are obliged by
an oath to do their best of their undertaking ! There is ample evidence
that not only in Kandy , also in the other parts of the country , these
uniformed creatures had no regard either to the law or to their own
undertakings . Proud of it ? If yes , Say Fuxxxng loudly ! But remember
this COUNTRY IS MULTI – CULTURAL .NUMBER GAMES ARE PEA NUTS.

Who says Muslims are discriminated in Sri Lanka?
Some UN idiots have named Sri Lanka as one of the most dangerous countries for Muslims!!!!!!!
When Muslims have the freedom to establish 24 Mosques within a few square kilometers in Sinhala areas, a double the number of Buddhists temples were bulldozed and even the sacred lands belonging to temples were forcibly taken over by Muslims (eg: Kuragala).
And Buddhists have no freedom to keep a Buddhist statue on the side of road let alone building or renovate a temple in the North.
IT IS SINHALESE WHO ARE DISCRIMINATED IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY.
Muslims and Tamils are enjoying full freedom in a country which belonged to another nation while the real owners who have a 2600 years of written history are restricted in certain areas.
Sinhalese should have a backbone to show the real picture to the United Nations. We have ample proof.
Seriously, I am looking for a Sinhalese man with a backbone to field as the Presidential candidate for 2019/2020 from the general public who could correct the distorted picture of Sinhalese and Sri Lanka.
/
Villageman / March 9, 2018
Many Muslims pray five times a day and they are ordered to pray in groups. So they build a masjid for group prayers in every neighborhood. Buddha on the other hand never ordered us to build temples. That is why the mosques out number temples. It is like every house having a kitchen, every Muslim neighborhood has a mosque. Religious Muslims are good people, they fear God, generous and peaceful. Non-religious Muslims are the culprits. It was reported that the four Muslims who caused this riot were a drunken group. Such people don’t go to mosques.
/
Champa / March 11, 2018

Thank you for the explanation. I wish our temples in the North and the East were also not bulldozed or destroyed by Tamil and Muslim politicians. I know ordinary Tamils and Muslims in the North and the East are not party to it. Seeing the destruction of temples gives a heartache to Sinhalese Buddhist as there is no way to rebuild the ancient temples as they were.
It is politicians who create unrest among Sinhalese, Muslims and Tamils. It is time people realize this. Divide and rule. Divide and bargain. Divide and blackmail. This is the basis of politics in Sri Lanka at present.

Today world sees Sinhalese as murders or butchers. full stop.
There were no TV s….Whatsup–Facebook..Viber during 1983 massacre of Tamils pre-planned and conducted by late Mr.Dharmister while Sinhala forces looked another side and Buddhist Ayotllahs led the thugs..looters.. murderers.
Enter any Vihara on the wall you can see paintings of butchering..burning alive of man..etc.etc. this leads Sinhalese since childhood for bloodthirsty
There are 40,000 Malayalies your ancestors are living in London why not assemble a demonstration in front of westminister.?.

Real Siva Sankaran Sharma / March 9, 2018
Please also give a list of the Hindu temples destroyed by Muslims in the east and mosques or other structures built on these sites. Starting with the ancient historic Sivan temple in the Kattankudi area , that was deliberately converted to a beef stall by the local Wahhabi and politicians, triggering the Kattankudi Mosque attack by the Karuna group. Even now Muslims in the east a trying to use force to acquire Hindu places of worship and a land used by Hindus as a crematorium to burn their dead in Kalmunai area. A local Muslim professor is forcibly trying to acquire this land and the local Muslim police are helping him by remanding innocent Tamil Hindus in the area who are protesting about this move. Muslims only came to the east as refugees fleeing Portuguese persecution in west and then Sinhalese persecution in the same central provinces . King Senarath may have orchestrated their move to the east , however they were settled on Tamil lands and not Sinhalese lands. This would have never happened if not for the generosity of the local Tamil Vannimai chiefs and Tamil people , who took pity on them as fellow Tamils , despite being Muslim. They gave them lands and even Hindu Tamil Mukkuava women to start families and they are now repaying this kindness by trying to steal their land. You cannot cry about Mosques being destroyed in Sinhalese areas and then gleefully destroy Hindu temples with the help of the same police and armed forces in Tamil areas.

I’m glad Kumar Sangakkara posted a video with his views on all this. We need more renowned personalities like him to come out and condemn these events, and actually go further and call out the the unprincipled and spineless individuals who are responsible for allowing this to happen, namely the President, Prime Minister and the police chief.
It is also appalling the kind of people who wear the uniform.
The racist organisations such as BBS should not be even allowed to exist. It’s safe to assume that the thugs who lead these organisations are running around free, instigating violence, while on bail for other charges, thanks to the dysfunctional justice system in this failed state.

Muslims now understand what is KARMA.
In the North-East you all collaborated with Sinhala STF to butcher Tamils.
It is the Tamils who have stopped Indian Forces to ransack Muslims villages in the East but you are ungrateful.
The cycle of KARMA is this and it has come so quickly to you.
Muslims outside North-East are different people they have supported Tamils much time in the past during troubles. but today they pay for what their brothers have done.
Tamils know about Quran but how many Muslims know about Hinduism?
if you study other religions you know about KARMA. But your mullahs will not allow this because they are still living in 4th century
