    Sri Lanka: "Stuck in the Middle," to a Horrifying Extreme

    Actually the most recent 45 page Human Rights Watch report indicates that "The government of Sri Lanka has been 'indiscriminately' shelling into government declared 'safe zones', killing hundreds of civilians." "The government makes safe zones and encourages Tamils in the conflict zone to gather there, and goes off and fires multi-barrel rocket launchers at them." Dr. Anna Neistat of HRW Over 2000 have been killed by the Sri Lankan Army in the last 2 months, all of them Tamil. I think this falls into Genocide. Dr. Anna Neistat of Human Rights Watch told a US Senate foreign relations committee during a hearing on Sri Lanka that, "The government has expelled aid groups, media, independent journalists, and the HRW in a clear attempt to cover its abuses." Bob Dietz told the US Senate at the hearing "It is with certainty that elements of the government are responsible for the killings of journalists who speak out. No one has been prosecuted or brought to justice." What do they have to hide? why expel aid groups? journalists? Those who speak out against the Sri Lankan Government are killed, even if you are Sinhalese (government ethnicity) ie. Lasantha Wickramatunga who was shot and killed 2 months ago for criticizing the Government's military offensive in the North. The Sri Lankan Government has even rejected a specially appointed British Envoy to Sri Lanka, after over 100,000 protestors in london came out pressuring Britain to take action. Now you tell me, your going to blame a rebel group, LTTE? We know they are not in line with the law, but for the Sri Lankan Government to shell and kill its Tamil people.... NOW THATS GENOCIDE.
