Lord Naseby, Conservative Peer and Chair of All Party Parliamentary Group on Sri Lanka said on Wednesday(March 11), if there is any genocide in Sri Lanka it is by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) who hold civilian Tamils by force as a human shield in the war.

"This talk about genocide is rubbish. The only people who are causing genocide are the LTTE who are holding the civilians as a human shield," he said when a LTTE propagandist in the audience charged the Sri Lanka government of genocide. Lord Naseby was referring to the Tamil civilians who are being held against their will as a human shield in the current war by the LTTE and who are being shot at by the LTTE when they attempt to escape on foot and by boat.

The British House of Lords member made this public statement, at a Forum discussion recorded in front of an audience , mostly consisting of British Tamil Forum members , at a studio in the Media House in Central London and broadcast by Press TV of Iran. A sympathetic labour member of Parliament to the Tamil movement in London, Jeremy Corbyn was the moderator of the show.

Labour Party Member of European Parliament Robert Evans, Suren Surendiran a spokesman of the LTTE front organization, the British Tamil Forum and Douglas Wickramaratne , President of the Sinhala Association of London were the other members of the discussion panel.

Lord Naseby further said, during the course of the discussion, international pressure should be brought on the LTTE to release all those civilians. He said no international pressure is necessary, as Robert Evans suggested, to declare a ceasefire , by the government. He said the Sri Lanka government is an elected government and it is the LTTE who must down its arms and surrender to bring the military conflict to an end.

The show had an ominous start when British Tamil Forum's Suren Suthanthiran, said that a main grievance of the Tamils is that Sinhalese being the only official language . One of the Sri Lankan members of the audience pointed out Suren Surenthiran was making factually incorrect statements. He said in Sri Lanka, the Sinhalese Language and Tamil language with English are being used as official languages. Immediately responding Lord Naseby said the cry about Sinhalese language is very much dated as both Sinhalese and Tamil are used as official languages. Then Suren Suthanthiran said he was speaking about 1956.

Be ashamed to play like a Sinhalese while being a tamil

[lionbuddies]

LTTE Tamil tiger terrorists have always targeted Sinhala civilians. They have killed tens of thousands without any single reason. Who gave them the right to kill??? Why dont the International community give proper recognition to such incidents.? Why do they always talk about the civilians That the LTTE are using as a shield and whom the SL forces are trying to rescue..

Actually man, the president of Sri Lanka speaks fluent Tamil. He even gave a speech to the Tamil people in Tamil. The problem with language has simmered down considerably in the country in the past 15 years. And it's unfair to say that Sinhalese people don't know Tamil, because many of them do. Bottom line, the LTTE has stopped the development of Sri Lanka with their constant suicide bombs in civilian areas. The end of LTTE is the new beginning of a harmonious and multicultural country.

All this was was destined to happen the moment the Tamils decided on violence as their method of choice.

tamilpriyan, u sinhalese? who r u tryin 2 fool? Ur gibberish writing gives u away as a tamil refugee. Yes, tamil children who were forced by that megalomaniac to join his army are the ones who got killed, not his son or daughter. His days are numbered, very soon he will have to pay for all the innocent lives that he sacrificed for his false eelam .

Mate, he has worked & been to SL recently. I agree with you that not many Sri Lankans can speak Tamil ... but why should they when 74% of the population is Sinhala?

[11tigers]

There is no evidence that supports the use of cluster bombs or chemical weapons. There are injured civilians from shell attacks on the LTTE positions, because the LTTE is holding these people as human shields (FACT)! Stop using your crap propoganda to promote the LTTE. If you think the SL Govt. is worse than the LTTE , then you have an extremely distorted mind. The SL army has never used a pregnant woman as a soldier, let alone a suicide bomber.

We have been bullied by the LTTE thugs in London for the past two decades. We are visited at night by the collection teams and ripped off long term. Some of the money never reached LTTE as the collectors pocketed the funds. My three brothers I have paid dearly for Eelam. We have got nothing back. Only shame that we backed a bunch of uneducated murderers. We are part of this blood thirsty LTTE. Sorry Folks.
