One Sri Lanka One Motherland for all....Really?
Release the prisoners!
British Tamils Forum appeals to the President of India to reconsider the decision to reject the mercy plea of Murugan, Santhan and Perarivalan, the three accused of conspiring to assassinate former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
The accused have languished in solitary confinement for the past twenty years living in prolonged anxiety with the fear of being executed at any time. The Supreme Court of India has itself commuted death sentences in a number of cases due to prolonged delay in deciding mercy petitions.
BTF, kindly requests the Government of India, to commute their death sentence, on humanitarian grounds, in accordance with the non-violent traditions of India.
Most countries around the world which have a much shorter history of civilisation than India have abolished capital punishment, as they recognise the act as primitive and barbaric.
As an emerging world leader we are hopeful that India would repeal the death penalty as it goes against her commitment to uphold the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Looking forward to it. Any news about Red Bird?
As posted in Peter's blog, in case he's too much of a coward to allow his fellow LTTE bootlickers to read it:
Greetings Eelamoids.
Has the counteroffensive started yet?
Eelamoids should not throw stones in glass houses. If they believed in the concept of a multi-ethnic polity and society, then their struggle could be considered to be just.
Instead, the Eelamoids have an equally if not more racist outlook than the Sinhala nationalists. They not only want to create a mono-ethnic Tamil state, but are willing to endorse the physical extermination of anyone who does not meet the criteria of "Tamil."
In support of this racist goal, they have fabricated a history of a primordial "Tamil-only" state from their own imagination, since they are not familiar with the Tamil ola leaf traditions in Jaffna or Batticaloa. A familiarity with this tradition would reveal that noly only did the medieval Sri Lankan Tamils identify Kalinga Magha as the founder of their civilization, but that Magha himself originated from the same line of Vijaya of the Mahavamsa, thus legitimating him as a true Sri Lankan king.
The Mahavamsa is not the end-all or be-all of Sri Lankan history. Nevertheless, it is an invaluable resource for deciphering Sri Lankan history, and it has affected the minorities' understanding of history as well as the Sinhalese. The Eelamoids use of the term "Ellalan," which appears in no other source than the Mahavamsa, demonstrates this.
Sri Lanka is going into spiral collapse. Theres no way its going to recover. Anyway if the writer of mahavamsa had said something about Mahindha, he would also have been shot.
Mahen ,
Hey, my kid need a fairy tale for today as well.
Velu,
Do something now. It might be over before sunday.
