Video: One-sided report;Wimal Weerawansa

Leader of the National Freedom Front (NFF) Wimal Weerawansa questioned whether the Sri Lankan people were going to allow a Hybrid Court, a branch of the International Criminal Court, to be established here and allow our the war heroes who brought peace and freedom to the country to be taken to the guillotine.

He expressed these views while addressing a special media conference on Thursday at the NFF head office. He opined further that the report of the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights, consisting of 216 pages, dealt with the so-called war crimes that had taken place in the country during 2002-2011, and pointed out that in it serious charges had been levelled against the Sri Lankan security forces.

“Conversely, the only charge it had leveled against the LTTE is the proscription of children for the war, and this charge is directed at Karuna Amman, which hints towards an act of revenge as he left the LTTE and helped the army in their war strategies. Though the charges appear to be leveled at both sides, there seems to be only one side that was being targeted here as Velupillai Prabhakaran and the leaders of the LTTE are no more among the living,” he pointed out.
