The Sri Lankan government has rejected the latest video broadcasted by the British Channel-4 network, coinciding with the visit to the UK of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

“Last year when Channel 4 News telecast a similar video the Government of Sri Lanka clearly established, by reference to technical considerations, that it was not genuine but fake. The present video is nothing more than an elongated version of the same video,” the Sri Lankan High Commission in London said in a statement.

The statement alleges that these are calculated “sinister moves” orchestrated to coincide with the visit of President Mahinda Rajapaksa to the United Kingdom.

'GOSL clearly established, by reference to technical considerations' . Why don't the world believe anything we say?

When we consider president and his family's cruelty, we should believe that they are responsible. Politicaly appointed embasy gyus would deny it obviously.

Let's face facts, we all know GR should stand trial in the Hague for war crimes.

Have they ever accepted their wrong doings?

no one ever expects that the government of Sri Lanka accept the charges and face an inquiry. Doing so can result in accepting their own crime. Never get smoke without fire!

Didn't a UN Expert panel prove the main video footage as authentic!!!

Sri Lanka will deny anything. Eventually the truth will come out. Its only a matter of time. Evil and lies cannot go on forever. Denying makes it even worse. More consequences.

It is clear this is a fake one. But GoSL will use this video to hang SF.

where were you guys when Tamil Tigers slaughtered innocent people by the thousands? What did these UN jokers do? What did GB & this godamn channel-4 do? Did GB & the USA admit any killing of innocent people by the thousands in Iraq or Afghanistan? Did channel-4 go to those countrys to film the massacars? Wakeup man, LTTE is Kaput !! Do something usefull Help your Tamil brothers & sisters who were rendered homeless by the bloody war!

Come on folks our amys are the most respected around the world, accoding to our defense and president, so how can this be possible.

Why should we reject? Why should we question about the authenticity of video unnecessarily? Our hands are clean. Our solders are the most disciplined and kindest with the tamils.
