Ellalan Farce: SLA advance thrwated.

Friday, 19 December 2008

Update

Wanni LTTE sources have indicated that SLA advances have been stalled in all fronts. There have been no new SLA thrusts apart from sporadic skirmishes in the past two days. This can be also be corroborated by the fact that all pro GoSL sites have been silent on battle field news. Political sources have indicated that both GoSL and the opposition are begging for the visit of Pranab Mukherjee as GoSL is rumoured to want a ceasefire due to soaring casualties, low morale and spiralling defence costs. The calls for a ceasefire comes amidst CJ's judgement on oil prices and the oil hedge gone wrong which is crippling the Sri Lankan economy.

Meanwhile SLAF fighter jets have once again attacked an IDP camp. The SLAF justifies these attacks by claiming that LTTE units are hiding in among civilians, sources have indicated to this blog owner that this claim is completely unfounded.

Will aim to provide more battlefield news in a few days.

British Tamils Forums Appeal for Clemency

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.

Who's in charge of GOSL Press & PR in the West?
(By Mango)

Yet again, the LTTE's front organisations are dictating the media agenda in London and other Western bloc cities. They have been allowed to make the most outrageous claims of 'genocide' and civilian casualties.

The GOSL representatives in the UK are conspicuous by their absence on radio, TV and mainstream press (please correct me if I'm wrong).

We urgently need to get proven, articulate proponents of the GOSL's case. Professionals like Dayan Jayatillke, Mahinda Samarasinghe (who gave an excellent performance on BBC's HardTalk), Palitha Kohona and Rajiva Wijesinha, made available to instantly rebut LTTE propaganda.

Their calm manner will win over the ranting performances often seen from LTTE representatives.

I've said this before and I'll repeat it again. The gains made by our forces, paid for in lost lives and limbs are in danger of frittered away by a dismal performance of our representatives abroad. It is imperative that this is treated seriously and quickly.

As the LTTE loses its' military capability, it has switched its' struggle to the PR front.
