The visiting Channel-4 Journalist Callum Macrae, who made the controversial War crimes documentaries on Sri Lankan civil war, said today that he would make documentaries in future if there were evidence on war crimes.

Mr. Macrae was speaking to the media following a news conference held by the Samagi Balawegaya (Force for Unity) an ally of UNP at Jathika Sevaka Sangamaya headquarters today.

“If there is enough evidence I will make more documentaries on alleged war crimes committed by both Government and the LTTE. But it is not certain,” he said.

He said the government should investigate into alleged war crimes without denying allegations.

He said he was only following his duty as a journalist and said the documentaries he already made were based on evidence. (YP & LSP)

Suq Madique Tuesday, 12 November 2013 02:12 PM

First you morons need to understand the difference between unsubstantiated allegations and the truth.

banda Tuesday, 12 November 2013 03:16 PM

Sir,
Will you make one about indiscriminate/summarily killing of civilians by US drone attacks?

Roy Tuesday, 12 November 2013 03:23 PM

if govt is so clean like saints why can't they file a case against Channel 4?

MrKasthuri Wednesday, 13 November 2013 03:57 AM

Exactly !, no say for no of them. One even couldn't get 100 votes from an election.

BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 13 November 2013 05:50 AM

That was stated long time ago...but never happened...simply bcos they will lose.

Rakesh Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:51 AM

First understand the difference between a Democratic government and a terrorist organization.

Sriyani Wednesday, 13 November 2013 07:44 AM

Rakesh - Its only terrorist organizations are given licence to kill! Preventing them from doing such things by a democratic government is a HR violation!

John Smith Wednesday, 13 November 2013 11:14 AM

Mr. MACRAE, GLAD THAT YOU ARE UNBIASED, DON'T YOU HAVE ANY DOCUMENTARIES ON AFGAN, LIBIYAN, SIRIAN, WAR CRIMES.

thiru Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:18 AM

S farook Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:19 AM

Will he take documentary on LTTE killing Kattankudy mosque massacre
Aranthalawa Buddhist monks killing Anchipothana.Eravur massacre. A Documentary historical evidence he must go back whole period of the civil war not the last bit only

Saman Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:20 AM

When is he going to show crimes by LTTE ? He may need a 24hr documenrtry !

willows Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:00 AM

He should prove accuracy rather than just going with emotions,

ind Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:27 AM

Why didn't he make documentaries on Guantanamo Bay ? No money to earn from that ??

Roy Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:29 AM

Roshan WR Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:38 AM

Raj Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:47 AM

Hats off sir , you are a brave man ;-)

Madanamutha Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:49 AM

ind Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:49 AM
