Ms.Marama Davidson MP
Leader, Green Party,
NZ Parliament.
Dear Ms Davidson,
I write to respectfully request that, you withdraw your sponsorship of the
above event and so prevent yourself and the New Zealand parliamentary premises
being misused to disseminate misinformation that is detrimental to the interest
of a fellow commonwealth country, and to many, many New Zealand residents of Sri
Lankan origin, and so very hurtful as well to them, for the reasons detailed
below.:
The planned Tamil Genocide Rembrance Event” in the Parliament on
Tuesday the 21st Of May is attempting to
draw credibility for this labeling of by claiming that the UN
has said that there is credible and compelling evidence that tens of thousands
of civilian deaths occurred in May 2009”, at the end of the war between the
Tamil Tigers and the Sri Lankan security forces
This premise is a diabolically misleading mis representation of
the facts.
The claim referred to was made by the UN Secretary General
appointed panel of experts ,appointed against the wishes of the UN and UNSC, and
so going behind the back of these organisations, to advice the UNSG on
provisions for accountability available in Sri Lanka”. It was lead by Mazuki
Darusman an Indonesian human rights lawyer and two others all of whom were
know to be adversely disposed towards SL based on their recent interactions
with SL at that time. Going beyond their remit, they came to their conclusions
without ever visiting SL and whilst located in New York and receiving
representations only from Tamil Tiger Diaspora and none from any Sri Lankan
government or community sources. Even further the committee specified that the
sources based on which they came to their conclusions , could not be revealed
for another twenty years, till 2030.
Consequently , these views have neither credibity nor represent
the views of the UN.
Further, there is a catalogue of evidence , detailed itemised
below, showing clearly that there was no Genocide what ever and on the other
hand , that because of the care and concern the SL security forces exercised,
as revealed among others by the Defence dispatches from the US & UK
embassies in Colombo, the civilian casualties were kept to a minimum but at the
cost of increased SL security force casualties and delaying the end of the
war.
This is a deliberate attempt at misusing the democratic freedoms
of NZ to to deliberately misleadi the unsuspecting NZ parliamentarians, NZ media
and public re happenings in SL in 2009 and now.
The film referred to is reminiscent of the much discredited film
Sri Lanka Killing Fields” that made claims to discredit the Sl security forces
based on film strips that did not reveal neither authorship, nor the location
nor the timing of the claimed events.
I therefore urge you to be vary of encouraging such misuse of NZ
‘s democratic freedoms and parliamentary premises to disseminate misinformation
hurtful & detrimental to the interest of thousands of New Zealanders of Sri
Lankan origin and withdraw your sponsorship of this event.
I would be very available to meet you at short notice to further
clarify our objections.
Thank you very much
Yours Sincerely

The Evidence That Tamil Genocide Did Not Happen At The End of
The War In Sri Lanka In May 2009.
1. If there were many thousands of civilian casualties, the figure
quoted by the Darusan commission report being 40,000, going by internationally
accepted ratio’s of injured to killed in war situations, there should have been
at least 80,000 injured . Ten years after the claimed events no where near that
number of injured nor casualties or graves have been found.
2.The best UN estimate of casualties was given by UN office in
Colombo the time . This was placed at around 7,000, quite consistent with the
expected collateral damage of a war of that scar.
3.The census carried out on the ground led by resident Tamil
teachers of the region in 2012, also came up with the figure of around
7,000casualties.
4.There was no logic for the Sri Lankan security forces to commit
genocide through directed shooting at civilians as alleged, and then rescuing
300,000 Tamil civilians hostages by the Tigers and used as human shields till
the very end, & then rehabilitating them and relocating them in their homes
within two years after the rescue, having cleared the mines in these areas at
great risk to the soldiers who did the demining themselves. These are the
realities of what happened post war and are available for any to see and
verify.
5. WikiLeakes revealed defence dispatches form both the US &
UK embassies in Colombo at that time, has on numerous occasions confirmed that
the SL forces were exercising extreme care to minimise civilian casualties as
happened and at the expense of increased security forces casualties and
delaying the end of the war.
6. Lord Naseby, of UK after a prolonged effort obtained many of
these cables from the British authorities and table them in the House of Lords
in October 2017 so confirming this further , as a fact .
7. Similarly, the defence attache in the US embassy in Colombo at
the time, Laurence Smith, at a seminar in Colombo a year after the end of the
war confirmed the same as regards the US embassy dispatches.
8.The Samuel Paranagama commission appointed by the SL President ,
specifically to investigate human rights violations and war crimes during the
end of the war concluded that there weren’t any. This report was endorsed by
five well respected legal luminaries drawn from both sides of the
Atlantic.
9. Many of the claims of the security forces firing into no fire
zones came about because the Tigers moved in their heavy weaponry into an area ,
the moment a no fire zone” was called , before civilians could move in, and
this firing had to be neutralised. These zones never in reality never became no
fire zones.
10. Similarly, hospitals were at times affected by security forces
fire, as the tigers deliberately positioned their heavy weaponry close to the
field hospitals to deliberately expose them to fire , and to then use such
incidence as propanda weapons .

THE DAY OF:Wiping out of the Indian terrorist outfit trained, armed, financed, managed and branded Tamil Tigers by India.
Note: There are lots of Indian Colonial Parasites from places like Fiji, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and other Indian colonies who have settled in NZ and of course the Indian Parasites from India.
