The accusation of Armed Forces
by the UN envoy Mr. Allan Rock is highly biased. Consider the following
facts to see why his investigation is not credible.
Don J. Wick CSLAT (Canadian
Sri Lankans Against Terrorism.)
Mr. Allan Rock was a former Liberal MP from Toronto,
Canada, where he held key ministerial positions in the previous Canadian
Liberal government. Like many Liberal politicians in the past, Allan
Rock was very sympathetic to Tamil Tigers, as his riding had a considerable
number of Tamil voters. As with many Liberal Party politicians in
Canada, Tamils have gained a lot of support from the Liberal government
Ministers like Allan Rock, due to assurance of large block of Tamils
votes in his riding by the key LTTE organizers like "The World
Tamil Movement", and other LTTE front associations. During his
candidacy, most of his political campaign work was done by the Tamil
supporters, as it was common with many of the Liberal Party candidates
in Toronto area .
There was no doubt that he gained lots of support from the Tamil voters
and, as a result, he was very much oppose to banning of the LTTE in
Canada. Like many Liberal members of the Parliament at the time, Allan
Rock turned a blind eye to many of the illegal activities of fund
raising by the LTTE in Canada. Especially, under his watch as the
Minister of Justice and, as the Attorney General afterwards.
It seems that Allan Rock has specifically targeted GOSL and the Armed
Forces, knowing very well that the LTTE is the number one recruiter
of the children for many years. Why didn't he made this trip earlier
to investigate the well known facts about the abduction of children
by the LTTE, which by the way well-documented by many of the UN envoys
who went to Sri Lanka before him? Why not make a trip to places like
Sierra Leon, Sudan and other hot spots in the world where children
are recruited openly by many terrorist organizations?
Mr. Rock claims that he has credible evidence that Armed forces are
recruiting children for Karuna...? It is also important to notice
that he claims he gained all these evidence thanks to GOSL, which
provided him with unhindered access to all areas and facilitated meetings
with a cross-section of government sectors, as a part of its long-standing
policy of openness and constructive engagement with UN Human Rights
commissions. Would LTTE allow him unlimited access to their restricted
area for him to investigate such abuses? It seems amazing what he
has accomplished within just 10 days of his stay in Sri Lanka...?
Could this be another clever attempt by the LTTE propaganda machine
to discredit the GOSL and its forces by taking advantage of incompetent,
bleeding heart liberal politicians turned UN ambassadors, who are
gullible and brained washed by the LTTE ?? There is no doubt that
some of these former Liberal MP's are under obligation to support
the LTTE, in return for the support they have received from the Tamils
during their political careers in Canada. This fact along is enough
to question the real motives of their missions and, seriously undermines
their credibility as unbiased investigators.
The other question is, why would UN send these biased ambassadors,
some of whom are obviously LTTE sympathizers, and backed by the LTTE
supporters in Canada and elsewhere...??
May be GOSL should insist on UN for a complete background check on
these so-called ambassadors, before they come to Sri Lanka with their
obvious biases and prejudices to investigate alleged crimes by the
Armed forces and the GOSL .....
