சென்னை: தமிழர்களைத் தாக்கிய இலங்கை ஒரு போர்க்குற்றவாளி. அந்த நாட்டை வழிக்குக் கொண்டு பொருளாதார தடை விதிப்பதே ஒரே வழியாகும் என்று முதல்வர் ஜெயலலிதா கூறியுள்ளார். தமிழக சட்டசபையில் இன்று இலங்கைக்குக் கடும் கண்டனம் தெரிவிக்கும் ஒரு வரி தீர்மானத்தை முதல்வர் ஜெயலலிதா கொண்டு வந்தார். அப்போது இலங்கையை போர்க்குற்றவாளி என்று அவர் பிரகடனம் செய்தார். மேலும் இலங்கை மீது கடுமையான பொருளாதாரத் தடைகளை விதிக்க வேண்டும் என்றும் அவர் வலியுறுத்தினார்

Footage broadcast by Channel 4 News showing the alleged massacre of Tamil prisoners is evidence of "serious international crimes", the UN says, as pressure mounts for an international investigation. A UN envoy has urged the international community and Sri Lanka to further investigate footage obtained by Channel 4 News purporting to show the summary executions of naked and bound men and women during the country's civil war. Channel 4 News first broadcast footage of the alleged execution of Tamil prisoners by Sri Lankan soldiers in 2009. Last December, damning new footage came to light of the same alleged massacre and the behaviour of government troops. The new footage revealed the naked dead bodies of at least seven women and a number of men. The faces of some government soldiers allegedl carrying out the executions could also be seen. Following an extensive investigation, Channel 4 News uncovered the identification of one of the victims captured in the video - a high profile member of the Tamil Tigers' press and communications wing.

(May 21, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Today, we moan from the very depths of our hearts the deaths of thousands of Tamils who were killed in Mullivaikal as well as in other places. Who are they? They are our beautiful children, our courageous young sons and daughters, beloved parents and grandparents whose burial grounds we do not know. On this day, as a Sinhalese, let me remember not only the physical deaths of thousands of Tamils, but also the moral and spiritual death of the Sinhala nation to which I belong, a nation that has been built on the unknown graveyards of many thousands of my Tamil sisters and brothers. As Martin Luther King lamented over his own American nation during the war against the people of Vietnam; a nation which spends on warfare and not on healthcare, welfare and education of its people is spiritually and morally doomed. Mullivaikal does not mark the end of Tamil aspiration for nationhood, homeland and self-determination, but it marks another defeat of humanity. Anybody who has a conscience among the Sinhalese and in the international community needs to know that Vanni massacre of Tamils questions our humanity rather than the project of Tamil Eelam. Therefore, Mullivaikal is a historical moment in the dawn of the twentieth century that highly questions the humanity of this so called global village. This is the fundamental moral truth about Vanni massacre of Tamils. What is the political truth about Mullivaikal?
