JVP Terrorists |
Here's a story...
On the 24th of May, two Tamil youth and one Muslim youth who were filming a protest organised by the JVP youth group Inter-University Students Federation (IUSF), were apprehended by the protesters, manhandled and handed over to the Fort Police Station. These students were carrying national identification and student identification cards, but the IUSF mob had already decided that these students were LTTE members.
The Fort Police soon informed IUSF convenor Duminda Nagamuwa that they had no case against the trainee journalists as the Fort Railway station area was a public space and the demonstration was for the public and anyone had the right to film it. Nagamuwa's requests to erase the tapes were denied.
Nagamuwa then called JVP Propaganda Secretary Wimal Weerawansa who in turn called the Senior Superintendent of Police. Weerawansa ordered the arrest of the three students. The OIC of the Fort Police was humbled by Weerawansa's call and despite his previous acceptance of the fact that there was no case against the students, he offered them an ultimatum: Hand over the tapes or get arrested.
lankatruth reports this story differerently. Tells us a lot about how lankatruth.com operates. The only truth for the them is that anyone Tamil is a terrorist.
What does this mean?
The JVP, IUSF, JHU or any one of the right wing Sinhala extremist groups can haul off anyone they like to the police station, and the police will then arrest that person.
If they don't like a journalist, they can haul him off to the police and ask for his tapes to be erased, or his film to be exposed or his notebook to be destroyed.
The law of the land is Wimal Weerawansa and the JVP and their goons. Not the police or the courts. The police and the courts do what Wimal and the boys want.

Morquendi how does it feel to have absolutely no influence at all? It must burn you inside to know that the JVP has so many followers while all you have is your tiny little prick to keep you company. |
Well, Sanjay Senanayake, sorry to say this but your personal life HAS got tangled up in this post. So maybe you should save your sarcasm for some other time. |
The JVP is despicable but whts more sickening is keeping them inside and pretending that they're not in the govt. fold yet |
