I am ashamed to be a Sri Lankan after this AI video and the war crime video.

The war I thought was against terrorism. But it was and is against humanity.

Let live the people free.

After killing more than 20,000 during the war, SL Gov and their supporters are pretending that they were the most nicest people in the world.

Do you know why they are writing here this much.

1. Truth hurts them.

2. SL Gov fund millions of $ to step up the propaganda.

3. They are dying hard to hide the genocide and killings they did.

You can hide something for some days not everything for all the time.

Are these camps still in operation? Does anyone still know?

In one of the camps live the parents of Vellupillai Prabhakaran, who was the founder and leader of the Tamil Tigers until he was killed in action, and they are reportedly pleased with the care they are recieving.

and if there are "1500 people a week are dying from diseases.." as you ( STVR1 ) say, by now, all the IDPs should be dead and gone .. LOL

Just think before you blab you retard.

[ambilimaama]

Yeah, its obvious how smart you are.. LOL

Even if the Govt set them free, where can they go? all their houses, & their infrastructure is totally destroyed by your LTTE. & the landmines & Anti-personnel mines should be cleared before freeing these people. & Its not a small camp you mutt .. there are several camps and each is about a size of a small town where they can freely move inside .. there are shops, banks, medical centres, schools & even vocational traiing centres inside.

CHeck todays news (Aug 25 2009), how Sri Lankan army did the war crime during the war. They naked innocent people and shot dead.

During the war SL Gov said they will allow journalist to the war zone once the war is over. But even now satelite pictures are comming out showing the mass graves etc.

People who support SL Gov can think of their own families and friends as how valuable human live is. If they really beleive Buddhs they should not have support this government at all.

[STVR1]

IGNORANT DUMB sri lankans. Dude get a fucking CLUE. The people are not allowed outside the camps. If the landmines were a concer, they could simply stop people from going back. But they dont have to keep them in a small, squalid detention camp with no proper food or medicine. 1500 people a week are dying from diseases. A fact.
