The United Nations (UN) did not visit the Naval Officers, Cmdr Dasanayaka and Lt. Cmdr Sumith Ranasinghe who are in prison but it was reported that they had visited the LTTE detainees at the same location, rear admiral (Rtd) Sarath Weerasekara said.

“It seems they are interested in LTTE suspects. The CID has confirmed that there was no evidence taking ransom. These two naval officers are detained until the investigations are over; the investigations have been going on for the past eight years. It means they have to be in prison indefinitely. Grant them bail and file cases if there is sufficient evidence as they have sacrificed their entire life to save the country from terrorists,” he said.

Meanwhile, he said politicians who crossover from one party to another do so mainly for financial gain and because they lack principles.

“Those who cross over from one political party to another without any valid reason do not possess an iota of shame and act in this manner when persuaded by large sums of money. Therefore, the people should make proper use of the upcoming local government elections to prevent such crooks from entering politics,” he said.

Meanwhile, Ven. Medagoda Abayatissa Thera referring to the leasing of the Hambantota Port to a Chinese firm, said the government should be ashamed of selling the country's resources without any sustainable profit to the country.(Sheain Fernandopulle)

    UN is the new mechanism used by Yankees and other western supper powers tor divide and rule .They pet terrorist when needed

    Lord Wolfstein Wednesday, 13 December 2017 10:29 AM

    Nonsense. The Yankees are not good UN members. They have not signed many charters and have even canceled contracts under Trump. Furthermore, they always pay their contributions with a great delay. And remember, even the most powerful states have only one vote each.

    These foreigners are for the diaspora. To give them the elam which was not achieved by terrorism. Unfortunately there are srilankans specially politicians who backup these anti Sinhalese for their own benefits to stay in power n to take revenge from our army who fought to save the nation. Idiots

    What is your evidence that foreigners are for the diaspora? Or is that they on the side of the community being treated badly by the majority?

    When he says crossovers are for money, he means GL and Bandula and Gammanpila who are all crossovers.

    The United Nations is a failed organisation working for personal causes, so we should just ignore what they have to say. Back at home, it is best for all parties to understand that mistakes have been made and crimes committed by everyone on all sides, leaders and citizens alike. Accept that and move on. Dwelling in the past is not going to do anything for our present or the future.
