Believe it or not ! Rajapakse regime had caused 5761 disappearances -report presented to Geneva conference

(Lanka-e-News-06.March.2012, 11.55PM) The UN active group had in its report presented to the Geneva Human rights Commission on forced abductions had stated that no measures had been taken so far in respect of the 5761 abductions committed in SL.

A most significant feature is , in the statistics provided in the report , the many tens of thousands of disappearances during the final phase of the war had not been included . If a complaint is to be made to this active group Committee , somebody close to the victim of disappearance should inform. Unfortunately , there aren’t even such persons remaining after the war to inform of the disappearances. Even without including those large number of disappearances , the number of disappearances standing at 5761 is something specially noteworthy.

In the report , charges are leveled that impartial inquiries in regard to the human rights violators , filing charges, trying them in a court of law and punishing them had not been duly done . Neither the SL police nor the human rights Commission had been able to mete out justice to the victims, the report adds. Though various Commissions had been appointed , none of them had any vision and the people had no adequate opportunity to present their facts, the report laments.

The UN groups in its report further states that the SL Govt. did not answer the charges , and it did not respond to the many requests made to it in 2009, 2010 and 2011 by the Active Committee to give it an opportunity to come to SL and investigate the facts.

The abductions carried out in the white Van by the Rajapakse regime and disappearances of victims had been portrayed to the people as a lawful process. This Rajapakse regime has become a byword for murder and has become so criminal that it has gone so far as to outrageously abduct in the white Van in broad daylight , a suspect who is being taken back to prison after being brought to courts while he was still in the court precincts.

A It will not be out of place to recall at this juncture when lawlessness is overriding and crimes are committed with impunity, how the chief of this present lawless regime in his youthful days had a love affair with a girl in his village , and when she became pregnant by him , he forced her to abort his child in her womb. But , when she refused to consent she was murdered on the sly and her body burnt to ashes in a lime kiln. The regime chief notorious for cold blooded murders and very adept at camouflaging his crimes which ability is standing him in good stead even now, deploying all his political powers then suppressed the murder. The residents of Medamulana still relate this tale . Sadly, this is the putrid history of the regime chief.
