Asian Centre for Human Rights
CHAMPIONING TERRORISTS' RIGHTS
Rohan
The article published under the heading "Sri Lanka: Time for International
Action" by the individual calling himself an institution under
the heading of Asian Center for Human Rights, is yet again a cry to
the world to provide a life line to the racist terrorist Tamil Tigers
who have been waging a debilitating terror campaign with the intention
of establishing a mono-ethnic dictatorship through systematic ethnic
cleansing.
The report attempts to white wash the Tamil Tigers under the guise
of a Human Rights report, by subtle mis-representation and outright
distortion of fact to mislead the wider international community that
still mistakenly tends to believe anything published under the banner
of 'Human Rights' to be legitimate and therefore believable. The blatant
lies and accusations made in several places in this article quite well
demonstrates its ill intentions by deliberately misrepresenting and
even conveniently manufacturing scenarios to justify an international
intervention, obviously intended towards providing the world's most
vicious terrorist organization, the Tamil Tigers, an opportunity to
re-group and re-arm to carry out its genocidal campaign against all
those who stand against its neo-Nazi clam for a mono-ethnic, autocratic
homeland.
The following extracts from the article abundantly illustrate its hidden
agenda;
"I. How did the CFA fail?
The Cease Fire Agreement signed in February 2002 has been repeatedly
violated with impunity both by the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE.
Indeed, no Sri Lankan government (led by the majority Singhalese) has
shown any intention of resolving the problems of the ethnic Tamils so
far. In March 2004 the then government of the United National Party
(UNP) split the Karuna faction from the LTTE. The Sri Lankan government
then began a proxy war with LTTE using the Karuna faction. The CFA was
in tatters..."
In contrast, here are the facts;
From February 2002, the LTTE attempted to escalate the conflict by
killing intelligence operatives of the government, indiscriminate bombings,
assassination of political opponents etc. The following is an analysis
of the figures released by SLMM at the very early stages of the CFA
from February 2002 to August 2005.
• Total number of violations was 1514 out of which 1436 were committed
by the LTTE and 78 by the GoSL. The percentage being LTTE- 95% and GoSL-
5%
• 58% of LTTE violations were comprised of child recruitment violations
• Total number of Offensive military operations related violations
were 28 out of which 25 were committed by the LTTE whereas 3 were by
the GoSL.
• The total percentage of Offensive military operations comprised
of 89% LTTE 11% by the government
• 95% of the Restore to Normalcy related violations were committed
by the LTTE whilst the GoSL was accountable for 5% of such violations.

By its deliberate attempts to equate the Sri Lankan government response
to unceasing attacks and assassinations by the Tamil Tigers against
its military and political leaders, the ACHR demonstrates its intentions
to mislead the readers into believing the combatants to be equally guilty
of wrong-doing, when well documented facts dictate otherwise.
The article also attempts to pre-empt any accusations against one of
the most suspect international covert supporters of Tamil Tiger terrorism.
"...The failure of the peace process underlines the inherent weaknesses
in small country peace brokerage. Norway never had the necessary leverage
in the peace process, nor is it ever likely to have. In Sri Lanka, Norway
has been little more than a messenger..."
Norway, a nation perched a world apart from Sri Lanka, has been a suspect
participant in the island nation's degeneration from a peaceful third
world country with a stagnant economy, into a nation threatened by racial
fragmentation and devastating war brutalizing generations of its people.
Though successive Sri Lankan governments have failed to confront Norway,
a powerful NATO nation in any international forum and call it what it
truly is, a nation supporting terrorism against Sri Lanka while pretending
to be her friend, majority of Sri Lankans distrust and hold them totally
responsible for the horrific acts of terrorism the Tamil Tigers have
been able to wage on Sri Lankan soil with impunity. Norway's involvement
has often caused raised eye brows with many international observers
of the conflict, yet never been addressed in the forums where they should
justifiably be taken up. The article conveniently fails to illustrate
the fact that to the majority of the 70,000 innocent Sri Lankan lives
lost, Norway has been none less than a messenger of death.
In a deliberate attempts to hide the fact that its true intentions
are to white wash the terrorist group, the writer makes a single blurb
of acts committed by the LTTE, which are mere misdemeanors when compared
to the abjectly horrifying list of mass scale atrocities committed by
the terrorist group since the signing of the ill-conceived cease-fire
agreement by the GoSL;
" The LTTE has also been responsible for violations of humanitarian
law. On 2 January 2008, at least four persons including three civilians
died and about 20 others injured when suspected LTTE exploded a bomb
targeting a military bus in Colombo. [2] On 5 December 2007, at least
15 civilians died and 38 others were injured in a landmine attack allegedly
by the LTTE on a crowded bus in northern Sri Lanka..."
What the ACHR deliberately fails to illustrate is that in the aftermath
of the Cease-fire agreement, and following the granting of unrestricted
administrative powers to the terrorist group by the then government,
the LTTE embarked on a swift pogrom of carrying out systematic annihilation
of all opponents to its vicious dictum, actual or suspect, by a campaign
of torture and execution. Within the first year itself countless numbers
of Tamils from the Northern and Eastern provinces were abducted into
torture camps in which confessions were forcibly obtained and most summarily
executed. Tamil militants who have since joined forces with the SLG
since then claim the numbers to be in the thousands, while there is
no verifiable system to account for these activities.
Some survivors of these torture and elimination campaigns have since
been recruited by the Sri Lankan military and employed in covert operations
behind LTTE lines. Once inducted into the LTTE areas, the Sri Lankan
military exercises little or no control on these elements, whose psychological
set up make them deadly warriors and yet extremely dangerous human beings.
While the Sri Lankan military bears some responsibility for employing
such elements in its military campaign, the fact that they are the creations
of Tamil Tiger terrorism must be clearly recognized.
The ACHR also 'forgets' to point out that the Sri Lankan government
continues to provide even food and all infra-structure facilities for
the Tamil civilians currently held hostage in the Tamil Tiger dominated
areas through international relief agencies such as the ICRC and UN.
It also 'forgot' to point out the fact that the LTTE still continues
to recruit and deploy more than 6,000 child combatants in its campaign
of terrorism.
