Jorge Rafael Videla,
Argentina's former military ruler
Facing charges for killing
Thirty political prisoners
In nineteen seventy six
In nineteen eighty three
Fifty three Political prisoners were killed
were killed at the Welikada prisons
In cold blooded murder
None were ever punished
Those who helped
To cover up such heinous crimes
Now partake in high positions
And even sits in the commission
For Reconciliation and Lessoned learned
That is Sri Lanka’s justice
Wonderful art of peace and reconciliation.
Justice in Argentina and in Sri Lanka
