Irrefutable evidence of genocide and silence of human rights champions
The Island
|August 11, 2025
At a time when the word genocide is being used with political motive, and defencive war is being misconstrued as genocide and real and most brutal genocide is taking place on a global scale with impunity, one should reflect on genocide committed by those who falsely accusing the Sri Lankan armed forces and the government for such crimes.
The British who systematically annihilated people including “babies suckling”, in Uva-Wellassa in 1818 and the LTTE, which carried out numerous massacres to drive away the Sinhalese and Muslims in the so-called border villages are now shamelessly levelling unsubstantiated allegations of genocide against the Sri Lankan military.
The British, jointly with the US, massacred about a million people, including children, in Iraq on a fabricated charge of possessing weapons of mass destruction. The British helped the LTTE continue their genocide of the Sinhalese and Muslims in the North and the East in an attempt to drive them away and grab their lands, and such crimes constitute genocide according to 1948 Genocide Convention.
