you think even if they come, they will be allowed to go to North by us ?
Imagine the news all over world if UN panel meets Joseph Rayappu who repeats the allegations of 1,50,000 still missing in North ?

Raj, what about the crimes committed by LTTE against Sinhalese, Tamils, Burghers and Muslims and by British Govt during its colonial era.

Extend the enquiry to atrocities committed during the Chera, Chola, Pandiya & Pallawa invasions of Sri Lanka too. We need to get compensated by them. High time.

150k is 70% of the population in the North. Rayappu is capable of that.

Possibly to provide them with time to learn from our LLRC?

UN should extend its mandate before and after the war to figure out pattern of crime committed against Tamils in Sri Lanka .

The GOSL is succumbing and now even ready to allow the panel to visit SL. A deal may even be struck between the GOSL and UN to exonerate against war crimes.

Let UN keep on extending the term for another 5 years of KING rule.

As long as they dont come here to investigate, it is ok for us.
