It is rather interesting to note that Amnesty International chose last Friday to demonstrate in the UN building in US. Could it be that AI participated in the Exiled Journalists Network Press Freedom Forum on Sri Lanka and the report was released only last week.
Exiled Journalists Network comprises over 170 journalists who had fled their countries unable to face death threats, intimidation for themselves and their families.
Although AI is doing a wonderful job all over the world, EJN is by exiled journalists and for exiled journalists which makes it unique.
This vast gene pool should be tapped for accurate and honest reporting. Pearl Thevanayagam Secretary - Exiled Journalists Network
The really guilty party is the Sri Lanka state and its extremist Agents who unashamedly carry out an ethno-religious war against Tamil citizens and commit reprehensible human rights violations and crimes against humanity. It clothes itself in exculpatory laws using its race and religious majoritarianism to escape the commission of crimes. It ignores international humanitarian laws even in combat and is blind to UN and INGO reports calling for observers. Rather, it seeks to call such bodies "names" such as "Tigers", a school boy stunt, in the hope of excaping culpability or even accountabilty for its crimes. The IIEE has exposed its vacuos claims to judicial account. It is time for the international community to bring about accountabilty by SL for its mounting alleged crimes against humanity in the UN.
