By Jonathan Miller - Just three months after the Sri Lankan government declared the country liberated from the Tamil Tigers, video footage has emerged apparently showing government troops summarily executing Tamils.
Journalists for Democracy in Sri Lanka, which obtained the material, said it was filmed in January - when the international media were prevented by the Sri Lankan government from covering the conflict zone.
This is how Sri Lanka treating Tamils. The same happened in Jaffna in chemmanai where they executed 600 young Tamils. How can a country like Sri Lanka, nr #1 Human rights violator still be member of UN and able get funds and loans from the west?
This is just one leaked video. Imagine the fate of many thousands of young Tamils 'arrested' by the government.

Terrorists got the kind of punishment they deserve. Those are terrorists. They are not Tamils as claimed by LTTE supporters.

First: who said they were terrorists?Second: Even if they were terrorists there is a legal system and procedure to follow.This is the nature Sri Lankan Army COWARDS.

Who the * are you to decide about others life. These are Tamils 'arrested' and abducted by the army. Tamils know that this kind of atrocities were happening for years. And many Sinhalese in the south in late 1980's ( JVP era ) know this too. There is enough proof against the Sri Lankan state. It is about time the west and other sinhalese ppl open up their eyes and see the true nature of the sri lankan government.

These are Tamils 'suspected to be LTTE by the Sri Lankan government'.
LTTE cadres wear cyanide capsule they take in case of capture by the enemy.
This kind of atrocities is still going on in vanni. Thats why the government banned the media. most young Tamils arrested by SLA end up like this.
It is the nature of Sri Lankan government and army. They certainly live up to their reputation as Nr #1 Human Rights Violating country.
Sri Lanka's dirty war
Mass graves 600 Tamils murdered

Like hell the terrorists did take the capsules - like the vaccum-cranium sun-goat and the latest KP darling. The SLN definitely lived up to the reputation they had within LTTE 'cadres' Anybody want a trip to North? [q url="timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/world/south-asia/Sri-Lankan-army-calls-execution-video-a-fabrication/articleshow/4935976.cms"]Sri Lankan army spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara said the footage aired by Channel 4 in Britain was a fabrication to discredit security forces who defeated Tamil separatists in mid-May. "This video has been made to discredit the armed forces," Nanayakkara said. "This was said to have been filmed at a time when the Tigers too were operating dressed in (Sri Lankan) military uniforms." The disturbing footage shows a man dressed in army uniform shooting a naked, bound and blindfolded man in the back of the head, while the bodies of eight others can be seen nearby in a muddy field. A 10th man was also shot in the same way towards the end of the video with men in the background gloating over the killings. [/q]

Sri Lankan officials are only good at killing Tamils, telling lies, begging for money from western countries.
Watch them having difficulty answering simple questions and their contradicting statements.

Extra faked

It is fake because some army officer 'specialist' on these say so?
What prove is there that the video is not doctored, just for the fake analysis?
at 11:32 on September 17th, 2009
The original Channel 4 video, before it was altered, doctored and shown by the rogue Channel. The dialog is in Tamil and it is believed that those killed are captured soldiers who were Sinhala teachers to LTTE cadres

The dialogue is in Tamil. Those who know Tamil will know what went on.

Seriously, you should listen the Tamil dialog. Their accent no way near the accent Tamils from north or east. It is clearly to hear that some Sinhalese are trying to talk in Tamil.
You are right! Those who know Tamil will know what went on.
Sri Lankan gov tries very hard to cover their atrocities. There are so dump, that they can't even know how people speak in their land.

Didn't you also doctor some video on a NP post and get exposed? Look who is talking? :-)
The correct interpretation of the Tamil accent can be obtained from the Tamil guy who went on a hunger strike opposite McDonalds at a cost of 7.1m Pounds Sterling to the UK Govt, yet tucked his face with McBurgers on the sly. Talk about integrity.
