“Surrendered People were Burned and Beaten to Death by Srilankan Troops

“Surrendered People were Burned and Beaten to Death - Sri Lanka violated International Conventions” – AHRC

(Tamil Insight, 29 08 2008)- “The United Nations Human Rights Committee’s latest view issued in July 2008 on a communication filed by a Sri Lankan against the state of Sri Lanka holds the state to have violated article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) which guarantees the right against arbitrary deprivation of life and article 7 which guarantees freedom against torture. The view further holds the state liable for the failure to provide an adequate remedy against these violations thus, also violating article 2 (3) of the ICCPR.” the Asian Human Rights Commission said yesterday in a Statement.

“ … On 7.9.89, 20 suspects surrendered, on 17.9.89, 13 suspects surrendered and on 2.10.89, 23 suspects were surrendered by the monk to the military. During that time the JVP leader of Puttalam, Santha, met the monk and surrendered. When he surrendered the authorities told him that he had not done anything wrong. But later the monk found him in the camp at Anamaduwa with barb wire tied about his ears, hands and feet. Later he learned that he had been taken away by a captain. In another case a young man who had surrendered from Kattukachhi was taken to Anamaduwa Camp. He was removed by a captain and burned together with another young man, a bank employee in a neighbouring house near a place where a bomb attack had been carried out against military vehicles. As this captain used the monk’s vehicle for this purpose people suspected the monk of being involved. The monk gives a long list of the names of officers who were in the camps in the area.

“The monk was given a van for his work with protection by armed soldiers. On one occasion due to a weapons misfire by one of those soldiers he was injured. At Anamaduwa camp he saw a 60-year-old man being hung in a gunny bag who was beaten to death while he was hanging in the bag. On another day a young man was beaten to death. He later took the young man’s body to the hospital. The monk spent most of his time at the camp at Puttalam” the statement said.

Yes LTTE masscred 400 surrendered policemen in the eastern province during late president Premadasa's time.Yes god had heard the prayer of the victims family, which led to Karuna and Prabakran on each others throat.
Curse of Jesus(PBUH) " Those who live by sword will perish by sword".
Very evident.

I agree. I am not justifying the killing by LTTE. This includes not only the LTTE but the government forces. NAZI Germany is just one example. I am bringing the nation of Srilanka under the same frame Asif.

I have a good friend called Asif but he's from Guyana.
