Rattled by the Documentary evidence made Public by Channel 4 telecast of a Documentary ,’Sri Lanka‘s Killing fields’ on 14 March, The Government of Sri Lanka is organising march by mobilising stooges to protest tabling the Resolution to censure Sri Lanka on Tamil Genocide in Europe.

Not content with this, the Sri Lankan Government seems to be inciting Sinhalese against the Tamils to the extent of making Sinhalese school children attack their Tamil counterparts from Jaffna!
‘Thousands of government supporters marched on foreign embassies yesterday to call on Western countries not to table a planned resolution critical of the country at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva.
Around 15,000 people marched to the US, Norwegian and German embassies, as well as the British high commission in Colombo to hand over petitions urging the resolution on alleged rights abuses committed during the country’s civil war be dropped…
The protesters condemned what they called interference from the US and other foreign powers in Sri Lanka’s internal affairs and accused the international community of trying to tarnish the country’s image at the UN meeting.
Among the marchers were the leaders of the Inter Religious Alliance for National Unity (IANU), who accused the US and international community of trying to tarnish the image of Sri Lanka.
“They have intervened in the internal affairs of other countries such as Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq and violated their human rights,” said its co-chairman Reverend Sarath Hettiarachchi.
The Methodist minister called on the government to align itself with anti-US countries to give Sri Lanka a stronger voice against its detractors.

Nations divided at the grassroot in the island despite machinations of global powers, reflected in an episode this week in which visiting students from leading schools of Jaffna were attacked by fellow Sinhala students in a cadet camp at Randamba in the Southern Province. The Sinhala military officials in the camp, rather than attending to complaints, chose to send the Jaffna school students back, with a warning not to tell anyone what had happened to them in the camp. During the decades of war, Colombo had stopped cadet programmes in the schools of Jaffna. Now as a part of its militarisation and structural genocide programme Colombo has conceived the idea of obligatory military training to all university entrants and reintroduction of cadet programme in the leading schools of Jaffna.
Accompanied by teachers, school cadets (or rather children as they are under 18) from St. John’s College, Jaffna Hindu College, Kokkuvil Hindu College and Central College of Jaffna were among those who were taken for the cadet training camp of both Sinhala and Tamil students at the Randamba SL military facility in the Southern Province.
During the camping, verbal exchanges between the two sections snowballed into an attack on visiting Tamil students by the Sinhala students, on Tuesday.
I am providing the Link from Channel 4 on ‘Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields‘.
This was telecast on 14 March 2012 by the channel.
This contains additional inputs on the Genocide of the Tamils in Sri Lanka by the Security Forces.
Forensic evidence on the nature of Death of Prabakaran and his son along with gruesome scenes can be noticed.
Viewer discretion is needed to watch the Video.

Parental Control must be enabled tp prevent children from watching this Video.
Considering the sensitivity of the Video and the efforts of Rajapakshe of Sri Lanka to wiggle out of War Criminal‘s charge, I understand that moves are afoot to censor this clip or ban it altogether as this gives concrete proof with Forensic evidence of Genocide.
I suggest this may be downloaded by those interested.

Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields: War Crimes Unpunished (Channel 4) was a follow-up to last year’s harrowing film about the end of the war against the Tamil Tigers — a film that came complete with footage of shelled hospitals and summary executions. Faced with the resulting global outrage, the Sri Lankan government promised a full inquiry. So, has it now admitted the truth?
The answer, you might not be startled to hear, is no. An official report has acknowledged for the first time that civilians died — but not that this was in any way the government’s fault. Last night, Jon Snow promised evidence both of more war crimes and of President Rajapaksa’s responsibility for them. In neither case did he break his word.
For a while, it felt as if the programme was proceeding almost too carefully. (At one point, a forensic pathologist was asked to study photographs of mutilated citizens so as to confirm that their injuries were “consistent with shelling”.) But the reason for such caution was soon clear. The original film had been denounced in Sri Lanka as a sloppy piece of reporting. Here, so little was left to chance that any similar objections will surely be impossible to sustain, although, as we saw when the Sri Lankan government was given the right to reply, that didn’t stop them trying.
Certainly by the end, there seemed no doubt that the government had indeed set up special no-fire zones for Tamil civilians — and then fired on them with heavy weaponry. According to a secret UN report, the “probability” that the government had done the shelling was “100 per cent”.
Even so, anybody hoping for the triumph of natural justice was in for a disappointment. When we last saw President Rajapaksa, he was cheerfully greeting the Queen at last year’s Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Australia.”
The Debate is on in UNHRC to censure SriLanka for the genocide of Tamils in SriLanka.
The Resolution was moved by the US and 47 countries are to vote.
China and Pakistan have decided to support SriLanka and Saudi Arabia has already spoken in favour of SriLanka.
Resettled Tamils from SriLanka are taking regular processions in Geneva to awaken the conscience of the Countries that are to vote.
India, though the Tamils killed in SriLanka belong to the ethnic group of Tamils in India,India is callously indifferent to the extent that the Foreign Minister S.M.Krishna stated that India will decide on this issue taking into consideration the relationship of India with other Countries,meaning China.
He had also said that he is yet to know full details!
Full Details of what?
It is a fact that India contributed to the war on terrorism by SriLanka and was actively involved in the final show down between SriLankan Forces and LTTE.
Paradoxically, it was India which armed the LTTE, provided sanctuary to LTTE Supremo Prabhakaran in India.
Tamil Nadu CM Late.MGR openly donated money to LTTE.
Now the equations seem to have changed.
The same India is reluctant to censure SriLanka war crimes, which is therre for every one to see.
What is Morally Right can never be sacrificed for National Interest(I doubt whether there is any Indian interest will be served by supporting SriLanka.
India must unequivocally condemn SriLanka, censure it and impose sanctions on SriLanka.
Unfortunately those killed in SriLanka are Tamils, not Bengalis or Biharis or Sikhs.
However Channel 4 is mounting pressure on UNHRC by planning to release a documentary covering the genocide.
The Genocide was telecast on 14 June 2011 and Independent carried exclusive coverage.
The new Documentary is expected to contain additional footage to prove SriLanka’s crime.
This Video can not be seen on the internet in India!

This report contains details some readers may find distressing.
Over the last two years Channel 4 News has broadcast footage that the UN says constitutes “credible evidence of war crimes” in Sri Lanka.
In the final stages of 26 years of civil war between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE, and better known as the Tamil Tigers), the United Nations estimated up to 40,000 civilians were killed.
“Fernando” was operating with Sri Lanka’s 58 Division during the final assault. He has risked his life as well as the lives of his family to speak out about the horrors he witnessed. He told Channel 4 News that men, women, and children were actively targeted with small arms by government forces.

A documentary showing graphic new footage of executed civilians in Sri Lanka, including the son of the leader of the Tamil Tigers, hopes to provide conclusive evidence of war crimes by its government.
A year after screening Jon Snow’s award-winning documentary Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields about the dying days of the civil war – Channel 4 has returned to the island to uncover more evidence of alleged abuse.
The 60-minute documentary, Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields: War Crimes Unpunished, will be screened days before the England cricket team flies out to the country….
It comes in the wake of this week’s United States resolution to the UN Human Rights Council censuring Sri Lankan President Rajapaksa and his brother, Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaska, for ‘not adequately addressing serious allegations of violations of international law during the war in Sri Lanka’.
‘This forensic investigation reveals damning new evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Sri Lankan government forces,’ said Mr Snow.
‘But it also points directly to those who may bear culpability and command responsibility for this savagery – from the military leaders who led the bloody assaults that killed civilians – to the President and his brother, the Defence Secretary, who have yet to be properly investigated and held to account.
‘It is our duty as journalists to report this evidence; it is up to the UN and the international community to initiate effective investigations and deliver justice for the thousands who lost their lives.
‘At a time when we are seeing similar carnage in Syria – this is vital work..
In the documentary, Mr Snow examines four instances of alleged war crimes using contemporaneous documents, eye witness accounts, photographic stills and trophy footage to determine how events unfolded in the final days of the war and investigate who was responsible for the carnage.
According to UN estimates, up to 40,000 civilians were killed during the conflict between the Government and rebel forces.
One of the most horrific scenes shows the bullet-riddled body of 12-year-old Balachandran Prabhakaran, son of the Tiger leader Velupillai.
Professor Derrick Pounder, a forensic pathologist at Dundee University, confirmed the boy was shot five times rather than killed in combat duty.
He said: ‘There is a speckling 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.
‘So he could have reached out with his hand and touched the gun that killed him. After receiving this wound he would have fallen backwards and it’s then that he is likely to have received these two wounds.
‘It’s likely that the shooter was standing over him while he was lying flat on the ground after the first shot. So this is a murder. There’s no doubt about it.’
The programme has also obtained unofficial footage, which suggests that his father Velupillai sustained a massive head wound – when his body was shown on television his head was covered by a rag. Separate stills see him first in uniform, then stripped naked and finally smeared in mud.
