CHANNEL 4 will broadcast "sri lanka - killing fields", which is a shocking documentary about warcrimes and genocide, from june 18 til june 25 - 2011 on the internet.

I feel frozen. My neck is starting to tighten and my heart is beating like a drum. I dont know why. I thought the memories are erased but it is not. It is buried in me and in many other women. Our eyes are telling so many stories. No one can read or listen or hear but as sisters we feel the pain and the fear among us.

Each time the sounds of the guns come closer to me, my body is shaking and we ran and ran to the place where there is no smell of the army. Each time we hear the news that army is coming closer I wanted to crawl and hide my face between my legs in the dark corner.

When we heard the noise of the army boots, my mother scuffled our hair and asked us daughters to wear clothes that covered our bodies fully with long gowns as many other mothers. My mother put me and my sisters inside the cupboard and under the bed as her hands are shaking and her eyes are watering with fear. Her hands are tied as her options are blocked to save their daughters.

We learnt when we hide we get assaulted, so we decided to stay together but they the terrifying men selected us by the look of our body and asked to go to the rooms for check up with them. With their gun inside our mouth they tested if our breast are bombs or if we carry guns in our vagina. Our voice were blocked inside the gun barrel stuck inside mouth. Our body become the frozen ice as blood became frozen inside our body as our eyes were looking for help. There is no rule or hands to wipe our tears of blood. We let our entire body to be frozen. There are so many tests happened to my friends and sisters like this but we keep quite and only told our mothers.

Our mothers kept quite to save our fathers and brothers life as they would be killed if they asked questions as many times our fathers and brothers think that they are responsible for us. On the way to school and to home, passing that army camp is not easy or safe. Our bodies got frozen as they checked our bras and between our thighs. Our brothers and fathers were beaten up and taken to their custody for speaking for us. I saw my sisters peeing on the streets as they were checked out and assaulted. We pass the sentry point as we pray the God. Even the God did not hear our cries or wounds.

  • Sri Lanka deports Canadian MP: Officials

    A Canadian MP was stopped from entering Sri Lanka on Wednesday and was set to be deported for alleged supporting the defeated Tamil Tiger rebels, officials said.

  • i am speachless, cant say a word about the video, but keep this good work up as meny people as poss should read notes on side of video,

    trevor sizzle

  • Peacefully demonstrating and supporting the voiceless is the least I can do my friend!

    you're right! the info on the side of the video speaks for itself!

  • please take a minute and read the info on this video, we cannot let these people down!

    Sri Lanka is not a safe place for it's citizens especially when they are opposing the military junta in Colombo! I think that the best option now, is to start independent investigations into suspected warcrimes and let tamils have their say in their own future!

    61 years of sinhalese oppresion of tamils have been enough!

    the world must recognize the rights of the tamil population in sri lanka!

  • the Sri Lankan Government is only mentioning 5000 tamil civilians were killed due to heavy weapons and air strikes during the last hundred days of their so called "war on terror"!

    U.N. representatives have unofficially spoken about at least 20.000 wounded tamils were perished during Colombo's continuously shellings and bombardments while they were warned by the entire world it would end up in a bloodbath! Vesak 2009 will be known as Genocide 2009!!!

    INVESTIGATIONS INTO WARCRIMES NOW!

    CHENNAI: Francis Boyle, an American expert on international law, on Monday asked India not to oppose the statehood claim of Tamils in Sri Lanka

  • India blasts rivals' role in Sri Lanka

    India is not happy with the important military role it says China and Pakistan played in the Sri Lanka's government decisive offensive against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Chinese and Pakistani arms and direction were the "clinching" factor in the military's victory, top officials have told ATol. India fears that Beijing, with the help of Pakistan and possibly Sri Lanka, plans to encircle its influence in the Indian Ocean.

  • I think the best way for the people is to form a tamil government who are able to take up the demands for a free and safe homeland!
