This Blog is Now Closed

This blog was started to create awareness about the way in which the government was complicit in the abduction of Tamil and later Muslim people in Sri Lanka for ransom. The reasons were not hard to see. The government was vigorously in bed with a terrorist outfit called the "K-group" (K=Karuna) which had broken away from the LTTE. The question was, "how to fund this terrorist outfit to forcibly recruit children and maintain a large paramilitary army?". (Official funding had to be very limited because the complicity had to be hidden from public accounts). The answer was as simple as it was cruel.

By January 2007, the complicity of the government was becoming common knowledge amongst the Sri Lankan public and the international media. Opposition law makers named in parliament one of the people directing operations (from a five star hotel with his room guarded by the security forces) and as the year went by the government made a show case arrest of this its own operative. Obviously he has never been charged and now roams around secretly but freely inside the CID building. This blog was no longer needed to build awareness.

There is a section of the Sri Lankan population, of course, who together with the government will still deny this interpretation of events. Some of these are people who have been poorly served by their limited curiosity and reading and others are the die hard traitors who hate Sri Lanka enough to despise any concern for the basic human rights of Sri Lankan people. Fortunately, they are a minority.
