Social networkers and good old fashioned newspapers may have the unique opportunity to serve Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa a summons to answer for his alleged role in extrajudicial killings during the civil war between government forces and Tamil insurgents.
THE BARRAGE of media reporting of the grim conflict in Sri Lanka has captured popular imagination, but has overlooked the grisly Sinhalese Buddhist genocide of innocent Hindu or Christian Tamil civilians by a US dual citizen and US green card holder. The two should be investigated and prosecuted in the United States. As a preliminary to the horror, roads and medical aid were blocked, and humanitarian workers and all media were expelled. During a BBC radio interview on Feb. 2, Rajapaksa declared that outside the “safety zone” nothing should “exist.”
Description: In this video broadcast, Bruce Fein talks about three crimes committed by the Sri Lankan government in 2006, which gives vivid expression of the ongoing genocide in order to terrorize the Tamils, calculated to deny all humanitarian aid and to frighten by removing all NGO so there will be no eyes and ears to report on the ongoing genocide. Fein also says that the highest officials in the Sri Lankan government cannot hide beyond their sovereignty as a shield to the international criminal and civil law of of all countries of the world. He also talks about a special international investigation tribunal to investigate the ACF killings.
