Are the Lawyers of New Jersey the voice of the Tamil Sangam ?
(Violation of Human rights has become a means to interfere with Sovereign States).

By Charles Perera

38 Lawyers lead by New Jersey House Representative Rush Holt wants George Bush to appoint a peace envoy to Sri Lanka to survey Human Rights Violations. New Jersey is apparently where the Tamil Sangam Head Quarters is based.

One begins to wonder why all these interfering peace mongers, who were not heard of when under the cover of an illegal CFA the LTTE terrorists went on a rampage of killing, torturing, mutilating, committing extortion, and kidnapping, are popping up their heads now from all quarters just when the Government of Sri Lanka with the Security Forces is finding its way to end terrorism.

It was some time back the Association of Lawyers of India, came out in defence of the terrorists on another similar issue , and now the New Jersey Lawyers are prepared to leave aside their legal work which perhaps does not provide enough financial benefits, to look into the question of Human Rights Violation in Sri Lanka. Who finances them for the role they wish to undertake , is any body’s guess.

Yesterday Cindy Sheehan- the Peace Mom- the nightmare of George Bush, was seen in a TV Programme in France, accusing George Bush of sending to death American Youth to Iraq for an unwanted war. She said ever since she started her campaign against sending American Youth to fight in Iraq she has been called by all types of names, and finally a mad woman. When she was asked how is it that if Mr. Bush is unpopular, he was elected twice as the President of America, she said that their was no popular election as all methods of election frauds were made to have him elected.

These New Jersey legal luminaries have other matters to keep them occupied, such as finding defects of the Bush Administration, and looking into violation of human rights by the American Army in Iraq, the appointments wrong people to International Organisations, and legality of continuing to send American youth to Iraq, among other things rather than interfere into affairs of Sri Lanka, which we can manage on our own.

The continuing trade embargo against Cuba itself is a violation of human rights. Cuban government wants to exist like any other government . Why don’t the New Jersey legal men survey the cases of violation of human rights by the Bush administration, and leave Sri Lanka to manage its own affairs ?

After the controversial Mr.Bolton, appointed as American Representative to the UNO, George Bush, sent Peter Smith to the UNESCO, he is presently the Deputy Director General for Education, now in the midst of a
investigations for an alleged payment of US$ 2.14 million of UNESCO fund
to a Washington Based Company, without consulting the Executive Board or the Director General of the Organisation.

These are matters well worth receiving the attention of these legal men of New Jersey without coming forward to defend the violation of the human right of the terrorists, to terrorise their fellow citizens. That is in fact what you are coming forward to do perhaps paid for by the Tamil Sangam in New Jersey.
