No Fire Zone Video Authentic, Sri Lanka Refuses to Accept It.
The release of the War Crime Documentary on Sri Lanka,No Fire Zone’ has not evoked any comments from the sri Lanka Government for quite some time.
I have posted in a Blog of mine at that time,may be Fifteen days ago that Sri Lanka had not commented yet.
But now a Minister of Sri Lanka declares that the there is a concerted attempt by the International Community to defame Sri Lanka.
There is also a Link in the Wiki that the earlier film Killing fields of Sri Lanka is doctored.
The Analyst says that the blood is not real, is faked and manipulated.
Now my points are.
1.If the Killing Fields of Sri Lanka is false.then why no claim was made disproving it then?
The first part is what is expected, but where is the effort to disprove the Video?
2.Now look at the analysis of the Video, No Fire Zone.
Why no rebuttal?
3.What does the International Community gain by taking on a small Nation as Sri Lanka?
4.Sri Lanka declared, at the time of the killing of Prbhakaran that the “LTTE’s back was boken and it was finished’
After the release of this No Fire Zone; LTTE has become active and is able to control World Opinion?
If it were to be so, it would have made Rajapakshe atand on Trail for War Crimes in the International Court by now!
Video And Photo Analysis of the No Fire Zone.
The pictures fill in chilling details on the circumstances of his murder — and leave the Sri Lankan government with yet more questions to answer about just how systematic the executions at the end of the war appear to have been. Last year, we first revealed video footage and stills which showed Balachandran’s body shortly after his execution. These were analysed for us by a respected forensic pathologist, Professor Derrick Pounder, to assess the cause of death.
Murder of Tamils, Sri Lanka The professor identified what he thinks is the first of the shots to be fired at the boy: “There is a speckling (on the skin) from propellant tattooing, indicating that the distance of the muzzle of the weapon to this boy’s chest was two to three feet or less. He could have reached out with his hand and touched the gun that killed him.”
The professor said the angle of the shots suggested that after that bullet was fired, the boy fell backwards and was then shot four more times. Unlike the men around him, there was no indication that the boy had been blindfolded or bound, so it was possible that the boy may have been made to watch the execution of his guards before the gun was turned on him.
The new photographs released today give us a chilling insight into what happened before that. They appear to demonstrate that the situation was calm and orderly. Balachandran was given a snack and some water. There was time to take photographs while he was held in the bunker and again afterwards. The forensic analysis report on the photographs concludes that there is “no evidence to indicate fabrication, manipulation or the use of effects to create the images” and concludes that the photographs “appear to be an accurate representation of the events depicted.”
From the separate video sequence recorded later (which has also been authenticated by both digital video analysis), it is clear that there were several military personnel in the area.

Sri Lanka Killing of LTTE Prabhakatan’s Son Investigation on war crimes and crimes against humanity,” said director Callum Macrae in a recorded message from London, adding that he hoped the film would lead to informed debate about the issue in the United Nations.
Sri Lankan Government Terms it as’ Fake and planted“.
The so called allegations in their footage of the entire Channel Four episode on the last stages of war in Sri Lanka, is fabricated and the government completely denies and rejects the, Mass Media and Information Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said.
The ‘Daily News’ reported that the minister was addressing the Cabinet press briefing yesterday at the Ministry Auditorium.This is an organised agenda of pro-LTTE diaspora to tarnish the image of the country by releasing of this kind of sensational footages on the verge of the UNHRC sessions in Geneva, the minister said.He questioned that without releasing it soon after the war, why the Channel Four to 3 to 4 years to come up with this documentary.The minister said, observing the pattern, that the next doctored documentary of the Channel Four on the war in Sri Lanka to be released just before the next UNHRC sessions next year could be easily predicted.He requested that the content of the footage should be critically analyzed as the government on earlier occasions had challenged them.He stressed that the former army commander and security forces had plainly rejected these claims which had been directed at the entire security establishments, adding that, a technical analysis on Channel Four’s latest documentary on Sri Lanka is now in progress.In a technical analysis of the mobile phone footage on behalf of Sri Lanka’s Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission, E. A. Yfantis, a professor of computer science at University of Nevada-Las Vegas specialising in computer graphics and image processing, stated that “based on mathematical analysis, blood in the 3GP videos is not real blood. It is not clear if the blood in the 3GP scenes is water with red dye or digitally constructed or edited video blood” and that “videographic and mathematical analysis of the two 3GP videos show that the videos either were edited, or staged, or both”. He concluded that “Careful analysis of the two 3GP videos which included both frame by frame visual inspection as well as the robust mathematical attributes of the video frames, has led us to the conclusion that this is a very deliberate and orchestrated video”.(Wiki)

Sri Lankan Army Raped Tamils To Teach a Lesson
Human Right watch which will be submitting its Report to UN on Monday,disclosed that The Tamil Women were raped by The Sri Lanka Security forces,’to teach them a lesson”
There seems to be no end to the atrocities being perpetrated by The Sri Lanka Government.
The UN must ensure that this report is not also NFAd(No Further Action)
In one of the most repugnant images yet seen during the so-called War on Terror, A Tamil woman between 20 and 30 years of age lies dead in the mud after being raped and shot to death by nationalist Rajapaksa military forces during the ethnic cleansing of 2009. As an increasing body of evidence now illustrates, scenes like this were common throughout the north of Sri Lanka despite initial claims by government sources that incidents of this type were exceptional. In an attempt to explain this behaviour, the Sri Lankan military have claimed that disrobing and open handed detailing of bodies is required to search for weapons, explosives or documents as standard operating procedure. In many of these incidents, females have been found naked, blindfolded with clothing removed just enough to expose sexual organs with hands tied behind the back and gunshot wounds to the head. In almost all cases, females are found in face up positions with their legs splayed. It should be noted that the operation conducted by nationalist forces in Sri Lanka has not been made possible by competent anti-terrorist training for the role, or a degree of professionalism, but by a sudden influx of finance and military weapons and ordnance from the United States and China. This influx simply brought the Sri Lankan military into a position in which it had the military capability to overshoot its natural lack of competence. Story.
Amidst reports of widespread sexual violence by the Sri Lankan army on suspected LTTE rebels, the Human Right Watch (HRW) has sought an international investigation.
The investigation demands came after a report, ” ‘We will teach you a lesson’: Sexual violence against Tamils by Sri Lankan Security Forces“.
The report is said to have contained a list of 75 cases of rape and sexual assault. These incidents happened all across Sri Lanka, from 2006 to 2012.
The majority of the cases are said to have happened during the armed conflict (with LTTE) that ended in may 2009.
The conflict ended almost three years ago, but the incidents of sexual violence continues till this day, the report quoted.
The revelations were confirmed by HRW Asia Director Brad Adams.
“The Sri Lankan security forces have committed untold numbers of rapes of Tamil men and women in custody. These are not just wartime atrocities but continue to the present, putting every Tamil man/woman arrested for suspected LTTE involvement at serious risk”, he was quoted in a news report published in national daily the Hindu.
Adams further reiterated the necessity of an international investigation into the alleged crimes.
Innumerable accounts of gross atrocities have emerged since the conflict ended.
Sri Lankan security forces are accused of blackmailing and sexually harassing Tamil men and women to extract information from them related to LTTE.
One account of 31-year-old women describes how she was blackmailed by the forces in revealing her husband’s details.
She was mercilessly beaten by a sand-filled-pipe and raped.
Another account of 23-year-old women was abducted and questioned for her alleged links with LTTE.
She was raped for three consecutive days and forced to perform sexual acts with number of men. In the end, she was asked to sign a piece of paper where she confessed her link with the LTTE.
Even men were not spared from the sexual violence.
Graphic accounts of extreme sexual violence gave a glimpse of the atrocities committed by the Sri Lankan security forces to crush the rebellion against its government.
The cold blooded killing of Prabhakaran’s 12-year-old son published in Britain daily – The Independent – has raised questions over Sri Lanka’s armed forces conduct during the final stages of the operation against Tamil Tiger rebels.
According to the report in the daily, the series of photographs taken a few hours apart and on the same camera, show Balachandran Prabhakaran, son of Villupillai Prabhakaran, sitting in a bunker, alive and unharmed, apparently in the custody of Sri Lankan troops. Villupillai Prabhakarn led the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Another photo shows the boy’s body lying on the ground, his chest pierced by bullets.

Sri Lankan Tamils Woes Continue UPFA In Place Of LTTE
The Article by by Prof S. Ratnajeevan H. Hoole in Sri Lanka Guardian speaks volumes of the Sri Lankan Tamils’ continuing agony.
Tamils are subjected to humiliation and insults in Sri Lanka still.
The Government has replaced the LTTE in brutality.
The Tamils are caught between the Devil and the Deep Sea.
When will this end?
Please read my blogs filed under Sri Lanka,Tamils.
Sri Lankan Tamils Under Siege. Excerpts from the article.
When I returned home in 1995 with our pet Dalmatian with its spots, hostile crowds gathered around us at Katunayake with shouts of Koti-Balla (Tiger-Dog). On other trips I had been taken straight to the Katunayake Police Station, and held up at Vanuniya and released after my friend travelling with me was arrested. I have been held up at Omanthai by the STF for four hours with fellow bus passengers and told that there was a change of guard at Elephant Pass and we would be held till the men from Elephant Pass arrived on foot and if they failed to arrive we would be shot.
Today, three years after the end of hostilities, Tamils arriving at Katunayake are still watched. Passengers report being asked for a bribe at immigration; some routinely seem to be handing in their passports with a few thousand rupee notes inside. It may not be necessary but the Tamil psyche believes it to be so. In LTTE times the same timid passengers paid a fee to the LTTE at Omanthai.
…..
Far more seriously, almost everyone looking for personal benefits joined the LTTE. Even decent men joined to get passes for their children. Others joined the death squads for power. LTTE agents sat through university teacher union meetings. No opposition was tolerated. The LTTE, though hostile to its opponents, had a reserve of hatred for those who were once with them and then left.Today, the UPFA is the same. Nishanthan from the TNA was sent to Velanai, Douglas’ fortress, to organize TNA’s youth league. Nishanthan successfully got a man (aged about 37) who was once with the EPDP to join. TNA’s newest member disappeared last week and his wife and children are lost as the police make the motions of investigating.Just as some joined the LTTE for lucre, today many join the UPFA bandwagon to be able to sell jobs and take bribes for bus route permits. The same businessmen who joined the LTTE for the exclusive right to bid on government road and building contracts in LTTE regions are now with the government. The LTTE sold sand and now the EPDP does. The very same people who helped the LTTE control the Tamil people are now behind the UPFA. An example is KP. One implicated in Rajani Thirangama’s murder and vanished into the Vanni with the LTTE is also back. The LTTE’s Jaffna Political Commissar, a blood thirsty killer, was hunting LTTE-ers for the army after 2009. I was at a Noolaham (an NGO preserving Tamil books) meeting when the army threateningly intervened and held us up until their intelligence officer was brought in to join us.In a dexterous move, an NGO that provided legal services to the needy and is now run by the founder’s daughter has been essentially bought over through dinners with Governor Chandrasiri, a university Council seat and exclusive agency rights to Milko in Jaffna. In exchange the once respectable NGO provides, among other things, cover to a dreaded LTTE-er by the code name Valluthi through employment.Related:
“Many of us bear the marks of torture on our minds and bodies, but in Sri Lanka you can’t express that you’ve been tortured. If you show your scars to [an official] you risk them telling the authorities and you would likely be detained again.” Saarheerthan, Sri Lankan torture survivor
Survivors’ well-founded fear of speaking out about torture in Sri Lanka is just one of the reasons that little information on the practice has flowed out of the country since the end of the conflict, including reported enforced disappearances and the intimidation of journalists, civil society organisations and doctors.
Keith Best, Freedom from Torture’s Chief Executive, said:
“As well as recording serious psychological impact in virtually all of the individuals whose cases are sampled in this report, the evidence also reveals high levels of visible scarring which strongly suggests a deliberate policy of ‘branding’ and an environment where perpetrators act with impunity. The experiences documented in the report of signed confessions forced through torture, fingerprinting and the deliberate infliction of visible injuries, mean that the risk of future detention and torture for survivors on return to Sri Lanka remains high, especially given the fact that in every single one of these 35 cases release from detention was resultant on the payment of a bribe. Fourteen had reported torture on their return from periods of time spent abroad.
“In light of this new evidence, the UK government must act immediately to ensure it is not returning individuals to a risk of torture in Sri Lanka. It is important that the UK Border Agency reviews and amends the country guidance information used by decision makers who consider asylum applications. While serious concerns remain, the UK should also put in place effective monitoring of any individual it forcibly returns to Sri Lanka to ensure their safety. We hope the UK government will play a leadership role within the international community to ensure that impunity for torture and other serious human rights violations in Sri Lanka is not allowed to reign. This is particularly essential as the Sri Lankan government‘s own Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission is widely considered to be seriously compromised and not capable of delivering justice for the Sri Lankan people.”

The Boat People, SrI Lankan Tamils, Smugglers’ Side Video
Click the above Link for Video.
The much touted Resettlement of The Tamils is so good that the people of Tamil origin in Sri Lanka are leaving the shores for Australia
.
Tim Noonan, Channel Seven has produced a Documentary that deals with The Tamil Boat people who flee to Australia.
The Documentary focusses on the Smugglers who transport the people.
From the tone and tenor of the smugglers , I have a suspicion whether the Sri Lankan Intelligence Agencies could have had a hand in this, considering that the Naval Boats seemed to have advance information on the boats.
The interview with the Smuggler on the plight of the Tamils makes one wonder if the whole process is a disinformation Campaign.
One thing is clear.
Neither the Sri Lankan Government nor the Sinhala people want the Tamils in Sri Lanka,
Forcible Union of these two will only fester the would and it would be an Asian Irish Problem.
Story:
The video documentary is to be commended for highlighting the economic imperatives that are presently inspiring Sri Lankans, (inclusive, in my interpellation, of Sinhalese and Muslims who take illegal routes to get abroad, often nowadays through air and land journeys with false documents).v The focus in the documentary is on Tamils and it is indicated that most of the aspirant asylum-seekers are males. One English-speaking Tamil tells Noonan that he was “chasing a better life in Australia.” Thereafter, an unnamed Tamil welder, a married man with a 7-year old daughter, who presently earns the equivalent of 200 dollars per month explains to Noonanvi why he has already invested money with a people smuggler towards such a trip and what risks he was prepared to face. He is confident he will get to Australia. His face is not hidden and the video scenes as well as his commentary (in translation) are as credible as striking.
Noonan tells us that the “people smugglers” are “making millions, but offer no guarantee of reaching Australia and no refunds if you don’t make it.” Referring to them as “ruthless people,” he introduces the audience to a people-smuggler in a balaclava, who spoke in Sinhala and clarified his manipulations in response to questions.vii There is every possibility that Noonan was taken for a ride on this occasion. The authenticity of the commentary from this person must be sceptically viewed, with the evidence kept on hold (air traffic metaphor) for the moment.
In contrast the Tamil welder’s testimony is consolidated by the evidence of an English-speaking Tamil introduced as “Spencer.” Spencer was – and IS – a breadth of fresh air. He had been arrested among a boatload that had taken off from “the west coast” [probably Negombo or thereabouts] and Noonan’s interview was with official permission in some jail. His straight-talking opinions will be a shock to the gullible Aussie human rights advocates and the general readership who have swallowed the tale that Tamils in Sri Lanka today in 2011/12 – whatever the story in the past — are fleeing from persecution. Let me introduce some extracts verbatim or in summary paraphrase.
- In response to the question why he was prepared to work through “people-smugglers,” Spencer said: “the thing is there is no other way. We must get their help.”
- And why did he venture thus: “to make money; to live a luxurious life,” said Spencer
