UNHRC condemned for being pro-terrorist

The Parents of the Dead and Missing Persons Front condemned the United Nations Human Rights Council for its bias attitude for the world's ruthless terrorist organization and failing to look into the plight of the people who became victimized and destitute due to the brutal activities of the terrorist organization.

Addressing a media conference in Colombo Wednesday (13) they said that the UNHRC should not only look into the activities of the ruthless terrorist organization which inhumanly murdered even children by forcibly dragging them to the war but also they should focus their attention on the Tamil National Alliance which assisted the terrorist organization, and acted as a proxy of the terrorists and publicly claimed that the terrorists are the sole representatives of the Tamils.

They said that instead of acting unilaterally the UNHRC should focus their attention on the injustices caused to several thousand people in Sri Lanka. The convener of the movement Ananda Perera revealed to the media that as per data collected by their organization that during the period from 1987 up to 2005, 21,875 persons have been killed in the army alone and 3,569 army personnel have gone missing. The number of civilians who have gone missing during 1987 to 2009 amounts to 10,978. Ananda Perera said that a detailed report on this matter was even forwarded to the High Commissioner of the UNHRC.

He said that special petitions have also been forwarded to the UN office in Colombo and to the Presidential secretariat. Ananda Perera said that they are planning to inform about this matter to the Speaker of Parliament and the Tamil National Alliance on Friday. He said that they are going to meet the Bishop of Jaffna on Monday and Tuesday and requested him to raise a voice against the injustices caused by the LTTE to all nationalities of this country.
