All in smiles, Verdict, Army Officers not guilty. Civilians shot themselves

The Army officers who investigated their own performances in Weliveirya are happy as Larry noting the grins on their faces.. You can now have few drinks at the mess and rest with a clear conscience. While the poor folk of weliveriya mourn their dead and nurse their wounds and wait for the next drink of clean water.

You can't be your own Judge.
We need an independent inquiry with international human rights participation.

Nice to end the day on a light and comic note. I am sure Ms. Navi Pillay will be amused is given the copy for light reading.

Renu Thursday, 22 August 2013 03:48 AM

Publish the report for the General public to know the findings, now that you have received it after due date. The People in Weliweritya has the right to know , and ofcourse Nava pillai too will like to read it when she is here
