I learned a lot out of this.

For e.g.:
1988-1990:
Former President Rajapaksa who was an opposition politician then, led the campaign against State terror and was perhaps the first human rights campaigner from the Sinhala South to get in touch with Amnesty International (AI). His campaign had its own deficiency. His campaign was not geared against human rights violations including involuntary disappearances, but was more a political campaign against the Premadasa regime in finding a platform for oppositional politics

Thank you Groundviews/Kusal Perera.

Was there any “victory” at all instead of shame?

The shame we experienced was in or over;

1. Inabilty to peacefully talk and end the Tamil national question for 67 years.

2. In killing 100,000 Tamil indigenous civilians in a “no fire zone”..

3. shame of military oppression by soldiers, kidnapping, terrorising civilians, torture, disappearance and genocide..

4. Shame in the world, and the UN, as people who do not know to reconcile with one aother.

5. Shame of corruption,and poverty of citizens in arms purchase for multi billions.

Even now, sense has not returned to the leaders to apologise for the offence done to citizens. When will it dawn, if ever?
