Sengodan. M Friday, 05 July 2013 11:40 PM

Where and when did the Tamils rob and from whom? The biggest robbers are in power today.

C.K.Lankaputhra Saturday, 06 July 2013 12:59 AM

to bluff the international community.

Hoodwinked Saturday, 06 July 2013 01:21 AM

Oh let us have CHOGM every year so that we can solve all the politically biased criminal cases which so far remain as mystery

Innocent_ patriot Saturday, 06 July 2013 02:55 AM

Nowadays there's only policemen inside and outside the remand at the police station...

Amila. G Friday, 05 July 2013 06:38 AM

Human rights par excellence in Sri Lanka. Who is fooling who.

Cobra Friday, 05 July 2013 02:00 AM

It took 6 long years to arrest these murderers. What were the authorities doing all this time? I know, they took ll this time to write the script and find the ideal actors to perform and maybe they also archived the script for a rainy day!!!

Coconut Donkey Friday, 05 July 2013 02:03 AM

Good news.. but would this have happened if not for constructive international pressure and engagement..?

Lankan Friday, 05 July 2013 02:28 AM

okay good, now start the arresting the LTTE rehabs and the Minister Karuna and MP Pillayan for the inhumane massacres they carried out against innocent monks and civilians!

Real Peace Friday, 05 July 2013 02:49 AM

.....and they will be released on bail at the next hearing....and the lived happily thereafter...!!!

Pasel Friday, 05 July 2013 04:35 AM

It is a good question but you know this is not going to happen because those two are adopted children

And they all will be acquitted due to lack of evidence

OMG Friday, 05 July 2013 01:56 AM

Too little too late,

Irreversible damage has been done in the international stage.

Nihal Amarasekera Friday, 05 July 2013 06:39 AM

Political expediency. Stopgap.

Vijay Friday, 05 July 2013 06:44 AM

Judgement delayed is wrong judgement
It is better now than never
Wait to see how genuine are these actions before passing judgement

kumar Friday, 05 July 2013 06:44 AM

What happened to the one who gave orders for the killings?

Ramzeel Friday, 05 July 2013 06:44 AM

To appease the Int. Community before the Commonwealth Conference.

Gemba Friday, 05 July 2013 07:02 AM

BETTER LATE than Never. Sometimes the wheels of justice turns very slowly.

manel fonseka Friday, 05 July 2013 07:11 AM

So is it 12 policemen or 12 STF personnel?
Or isn't there a difference? Did they all get orders from the same authority in 2006?

KING KONG Friday, 05 July 2013 07:18 AM
