This morning, 15th June 2011, Sri Lankan Liberal MP, Prof. Rajiva Wijesinha who is also the Advisor on Reconciliation to the President and former Secretary of the Human Rights Ministry, promptly responded on Al Jazeera regarding the Channel4 footage. The video alleging war crimes near the end of the armed conflict was aired last night in the United Kingdom.
Prof. Wijesinha emphasized the fact that segments of the international media not only prejudged but also distorted the issue considering neither the technical analysis provided by the Sri Lankan experts nor the possibility that the material may have been subject to manipulation.

It is amazing how things have taken a U turn. The British brought the Tamils to Sri Lanka to do their dirty work. Now the LTTE Tamil terrorist supporters are payng the Brits to do their dirty work.

Sarath, this is called kamma in Buddhism. Just give another few years and we will witness the destructive behaviour of the LTTE cronies in the UK. Already we see the impact of Tamil Tigers in Western societies who have given the free reign to LTTE to carry out terror activities against the innocent people of Sri Lanka.

Sarath W in short that is the correct statement. Let them both dig ther own graves. We have witnessed such things happening in this world so let’s wait and see. Our leaders must take care of them selves when visiting England and shoulnt believe in those white pigs.

Thank God Sri Lanka wiped out the great evil that was the LTTE. I am pretty sure the footage that was shown on Ch.4 was a group of unfortunate Sinhalese Soldiers who were captured by the LTTE then executed then the Ch.4 Dr Goebbels department of propaganda got to work on it and turned it around to make it look like the it was the LTTE that was executed. We all know what the Evil LTTE does with prisoners. They never respected the Geneva conventions unlike the Sri Lankan soldiers. I have heard so many stories of LTTE killing prisoners in cold blood. They also filmed their gruesome actions. They are not called the most ruthless barbaric terrorist group for nothing. Unfortunately westerners brought up on western mainstream media propaganda will never get it unless they had lived in Sri Lanka for many years during the 80s, 90s and 2000s to understand how evil the LTTE were. Only a few bright western analysts like Webster Tarpley in the United States fully understood who and what the LTTE really were. Unfortunately most people in western countries arn’t as bright as Webster Tarpley so they will not understand the truth without extricating themselves from mainstream western news propaganda of which Ch.4 along with FOX News is one of the absolute worst offenders.
I am convinced this video is a doctored video. Very easy to do if your a good propaganda film maker.
I am glad Sri Lankans are coming out around the world to demolish Ch.4′s lies.
