THE TIME HAS COME TO BRING THE RAJAPAKSE BROTHERS AND GENERAL FONSEKA TO JUSTICE, ESPECIALLY DEFENCE SECRETARY GOTABAYA & BASIL WHO ARE UNITED STATES CITIZENS OWN MANSION HOUSES IN CALIFORNIA.

THE GOVT. OF SRI LANKA (GOSL) HAS BEEN INTERNATIONALLY REPUDATED FOR ITS GENOCIDAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST SRI LANKAN TAMILS.

SRI LANKA HAS BEEN EXPELLED FROM UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL.
SRI LANKA HAS BEEN DENOUNCED BY NOBEL PEACE PRIZE LAUREATES.

SRI LANKA HAS BEEN ASSAILED BY EVERY HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION THAT HAS SURVEYED SRI LANKAN'S BLEAK HUMAN RIGHTS LANDSCAPE.

SRI LANKA HAS PLACED EVERY TAMIL OUTSIDE THE LAW WITH ITS PREVENTION OF TERRORISM ACT. AND LEAGALISZATION OF ASSASINATION SQUADS AUTHORISED TO SHOOT, KILL AND SECRETLY BURY MURDERED TAMILS.
GOVERNMENTS REPULSED BY THE RAJAPAKSE BROTHERS AND GENERAL FONSEKA ARE EAGER TO PROSECUTE WAR CRIMES, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, TORTURE OR EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLINGS. BUT THEY HAVE BEEN STYMIED BY THE RELUCTANCE OF THE TAMIL DISPORA TO PROVIDE PUBLIC TESTIMONEY.
THE TAMIL’S RELUCTANCE TO BE IDENTIFIED AS A WITNESS AGAINST THE GOSL IS UNDERSTANDABLE THE RAJAPAKSE BROTHERS AND GENERAL FONSEKA ARE RUTHLESS. THEY HAVE RETALIATED AGAINST MANY OF THEIR CRITICS. TAMILS WHO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THEM ENHANCE THE RISK THAT THEY OR THEIR RELATIVES IN SRI LANKA WILL BE DETAINED, ROBBED OR OTHERWISE MALTREATED.
“SILENCE ONLY EMBOLDENS THE RAJAPAKSE BROTHERS AND GENERAL FONSEKA TO GREATER TAMIL ATROCITIES”
