June 14, 2012, 6:29 pm- ‘President Rajapaksa is in a hell of a predicament also because as the Commander in Chief of the Military, he is alleged to have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. With mounting evidence, he is trying to negotiate, perhaps barter justice with a political solution as he knows that the day he relinquishes his position as head of state, he is likely to be arrested just as Charles Taylor of Liberia or Milosevic of former Yugoslavia.’ While the LTTE was retreating rapidly on the Vanni east front, following a debilitating setback at Kilinochchi in the first week of January, 2009, the Tamil Diaspora groups emerged as its successor. The UK-based Global Tamil Forum (GTF) is now at the forefront of an internationally backed campaign to haul Sri Lankan leaders up before an international war crimes tribunal over accountability issues. The GTF displayed its power when President Mahinda Rajapaksa visited London at the invitation of the UK, to participate in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations recently.

[June 8, 2012 } On the eve of the Presidents visit to the UK to attend the Queens Diamond Jubilee, Gotabaya in his usual finger wagging style told the BBC that the north cannot be recognised as a “Tamil” region. In the run up to the first Presidential election, Mahinda Rajapakse told his Sinhala Buddhist electorate that he is from the “south”. Was he not indicating that he was from the Deep South, which is hard line Sinhalese? By denying that the North is a Tamil region, the Rajapakse’s are denying to the Tamils, what the Sinhalese take for granted in their perceptions of the Deep South and elsewhere. The “Tamil” identity of the North is no different to the Kandyan identity of the central highlands or the Rohona identity of the South. It is folly to deny them, as they are deep-rooted identities, which are embedded in the psyche of the different communities that inhabit this island. It was the Kandyans who first wanted federalism. The response one could expect in denying the “Tamil” identity of the North is no different to the response the Rajapakse’s could expect, if they were to deny the “Kandyan” identity of the highlands.

Visiting Sri Lankan President having experienced a series of demonstrations and protests of thousands of Tamils, Human Rights activist throughout Wednesday at London’s key locations, the Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksha has left the UK with a sense of disgrace, disgust, disappointment and failure. Couches full of Tamils from Europe and all parts of the UK gathered outside the Mansion House at 8AM in the morning in the city of London where the Sri Lankan President Rajapaksha was scheduled to give a speech on Wednesday morning, 6 June 2012 at the London Mansion House in the Diamond Jubilee Commonwealth Economic Forum. However on Tuesday, 5 June 2012 the Commonwealth Business Council has given the following message in their website “After careful consideration the morning sessions of the Forum on Wednesday 6th of June have been cancelled and will not take place. The event will therefore commence with lunch at 1300hrs followed by the originally planned afternoon sessions beginning at 1400hrs”.
போரின் இறுதிக்கட்டத்தில் சிறிலங்காப் படைகளால் தமிழர்கள் மோசமாக நடத்தப்பட்டதற்கான மேலதிகமான காணொலி மற்றும் ஒளிப்பட ஆதாரங்கள் தமக்குக் கிடைத்துள்ளதாக லண்டனில் இருந்து வெளியாகும் "தி இன்டிபென்டன்ட்" நாளேடு தகவல் வெளியிட்டுள்ளது.
[Tuesday 5 June 20128:08 pm] A meeting in the City of London, due to have been addressed on Wednesday morning by the president of Sri Lanka, has been cancelled, owing to concerns over policing amid the threat of large demonstrations by Tamil rights groups. But Mahinda Rajapakse – whose presidency has been tainted by persistent allegations of war crimes committed by Sri Lankan armed forces – will still attend a lunch for the Queen, hosted by the Commonwealth secretary general at Marlborough House on Pall Mall. The president was first to have given the keynote speech at a special Diamond Jubilee meeting of the Commonwealth Economic Forum, at 10am. On its website, the event’s organisers, the Commonwealth Business Council, simply states that “After careful consideration, the morning sessions of the Forum… will not take place.” It had pre-sold tickets to the event at £795 +VAT each. Channel 4 News was unable to obtain a response from the CBC. A spokesman for Scotland Yard told Channel 4 News that while it had agreed to guarantee the president’s security, the CBC had “decided it was not in their interest to stage the event” due to excessive policing requirements and the likely disruption to business in the City of London.
