Sri Lanka holds 300,000 Tamils in refugee camps
Civilians fleeing the civil war, mainly government army shelling, has been imprisoned in concentration camps surrounded by barbed wire, with little water or food, or medical care. To avoid any contact with the outside, the military prevent access to the camps for members of Red Cross and other NGOs who try, unsuccessfully, to distribute humanitarian aid while civilians die from epidemics that have begun to spread among the battered and malnourished population.
With the excuse to stop the guerrillas who presumably have managed to infiltrate among the refugees, the Sri Lankan government has announced that it's going to keep prisoners for a period of up to two years, when they will be relocated without any guarantee that they can return to their homes or what remains of them.
To make matters worse, this scenario is joined by the difficult situation in which they live and Tamils have lived under the yoke of the Sinhalese majority. With discriminatory laws that make it impossible life in Sri Lanka, you may not take long to resurface armed liberation movements that call for independence from the north-west of the country, where Tamils are the majority. Only a just for all based on respect for human rights and equality before the law will enable peaceful coexistence.
They have lost the war, now they have to suffer ethnic cleansing.
To all this we have observed as Western media have given back again. I wonder why. +
This time no U.S. interests or the large corporations that they often write the articles. Intone why the hell the media behave like this? I think it's by nature, and are so used to hide the truth that already do by inércia.
clear is that the Tamils were terrorists ....
Any government in the world that wants to crush a rebel movement in its territory, more or less violent, have it easy today. If he manages to convey to the world's media the term terrorism to its "rebels", and has carte blanche to violate any rights of the insurgent group without excessive consequences. Here we have a genius of such a strategy, Mr. Uribe, but is just one of a long list that can all help to make, starting with our southern neighbors, Mohamed VI and his monarchy.
This is just bandwagon of the war on terror have been used both Bush and company. In our country locally, Aznar began and today outlawing newspapers are several political groups and the PSOE doing a slimy ism ...
... Not only have carte blanche to violate all rights, also are powerfully aided by foreigners for governments not to risk losing the extermination order any insurgency is there inside, anything that would alter the current state of things , no fence to be something that the system becomes unstable, he continues to shake the Bolshevik revolution to the wall fallen years, because they know that I leave a precedent that can not be erased from the collective memory of the people struggling for freedom , I still weighs Cuba because Cuba is the reflection of a story that refuses to be passed, a witness who has lived on the other side, and waiting for the appearance of other insurrections as the only alternative suvsistencia, they are shaking forces may prove to people and so we divided into homelands, color, football teams, and other urban tribes, so the order before any sign of struggle or organization tected recomposition of social or whatever you call it, is extermination, OR SUBMITTED or exterminated, that is their slogan
