Extrajudicial killings by Sri Lankan government

Posted by on January 9, 2010 3 Comments

Philip Alston, an independent United Nations human rights expert said today there are strong indications that the video of alleged extrajudicial executions by Sri Lankan soldiers that aired last August on British television is authentic, and called for an inquiry into possible war crimes committed during the conflict with Tamil rebels.

(See this video of Mr Alston’s press conference.)

The following is a news report on the executions.

    Enough said.

    When atrocities, massacres, extra-judicial assassinations are committed by American, British and the western countries, we do not hear of War-Crime or criminal proceedings to prosecute the perpetrator. When it happens in Asia, wow big news, demand this demand that. Or someone is mentally unsound (after the fact).

    There is no true justice in the world currently, just motives, gains/loss issues.
