“One of the worst atrocity crime stories of recent decades has barely registered in the world’s collective conscience. We remember and acknowledge the shame of Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. We agonise about the failure to halt the atrocities in Syria. But, at least until now, the world has paid almost no attention to war crimes and crimes against humanity comparable in their savagery to any of these: the killing fields of Sri Lanka in 2009.” former foreign minister of Australia Gareth Evans writes.

These attrocities will always haunt Sri Lanka, no matter the Patriots may want to forget them. Unless the issues are addressed and dealt with, we will never have PEACE in this country.

Zaheer we are waiting for your Uncle’s Story the moment he is able to speak. How is Business? If you had anything to reveal of Batalanda, why did you not give evidence at the Commission of Inquiry? There is no point in harping now. Besides you have no point to harp on, as it is chopped?

What happened in Batalanda is a crime and the happenings in Mullikaival are worst crimes. Does one justify the happening of another that too in a worst form. Some humans have different standards when comes to their feelings for lives. Sad..Zaheer.

Not just at the last stage of the war but for over thirty years both sides fired at each other, and many many civilians died. When a victim is identified as civilian and has some evidence of perpetrators, I can understand the call for investigations.
When movie shooters identify neither victims nor perpetrators is it not absurd to accuse one party?
