Navaneetham Pillai Indicts Sri Lanka Human Rights ,UN Report

Navaneetham Pillai. the Human Rights Commissioner, after a visit to Sri Lanka to study the ground realities post Civil War, Post-LTTE era.

Her Press briefing on 31 August , 2012 was candid to such an extent that the Sri Lanka Government was forced to protest that she exceeded her brief.

She was earlier abused by the Government and the Sri Lanka Media , calling her 'Tamil Tigress', accusing her of bias, raking her Tamil origins.

President Rajapakshe apologised for his minister's out burst against her earlier.

Her report, as stated by her in the Press Meet , in short, is as under.

1.Developmental activities. post the civil war , is sluggish and definitely not as it had been portrayed by the Government of Sri Lanka.

2.The Missing Persons of Tamil area are not being investigated.

3.Tamil women are being molested and no visible action.

3.The Military, even after four years of the conflict coming to a close, still has an iron grip, on the Tamil areas, hampering return of Normalcy.

The presence of Military in the North East is worrying.

4.The Military is controlling areas where it has no business, like Education, Agriculture.

5.The Military is grabbing private Tamil lands for converting them into barracks, with no compensation.

6.Systematic racist attacks are being carried out against Tamils and Muslims.

As a parting shot, she said,

"“I am deeply concerned that Sri Lanka, despite the opportunity provided by the end of the war to construct a new vibrant, all-embracing state, is showing signs of heading in an increasingly authoritarian direction,” Pillai said, a remark that was to be broadcast around the world in minutes."

Well, that's pretty candid and accuses Sri Lanka, in real softer terms, its Genocidal and Ethnic cleansing Policies!
