It hurts big time to hear such things about Sri Lanka. The thing i really can't stand is that most of the facts activists bring up, are the claims of ex-LTTE members (the whole channel 4's story was based on former LTTE members). Most of the Tamils live in Canada weren't in the war zone, they weren't the people who were used as a shield by LTTE. their kids were not sent to the front line of the war, so the LTTE leaders could survive another day. But BBC/CNN only promote the claims of people who were thousands of miles away form the war zone at the time of the story.
the video above shows how the tamils in jaffna, a district affected by the war, celebrate the victory of Sri Lankan army over LTTE.
If there were enough proofs against SL, then they would have already taken actions against them. but so far, all the evidences they have brought up , are the "so called" claims of former LTTE members. Can they be taken as facts? Tamil votes in canada, and in many countries play a huge part in elections, not to mention that LTTE has lots of money to offer to any political party, international organization that would represent them. So if you observe closely, you will realize that the world still blames Sri Lanka for "made up" stories.
The Tamil Tigers was one of the worst terrorist groups on the planet. Its war for Independence in northern Sri Lanka was extremely brutal and it happily expanded it terrorist activities to foreign countries -- including Canada. Canadians is especially enjoying its human smuggling ring, selling stolen Canadian passports, $300 million dollar drug ring still running in Montreal, war criminals immigrating to the country, etc. Ask any RCMP, customs, or CIC officer in Vancouver, Montreal, or Toronto which is *the* largest terrorist group operating in Canada?
Although the worldwide media cooperation gave a huge publicity for the Channel 4's baseless video, they gave only a very little room for the reply of Sri Lanka if any.
