Sri Lanka rejects probes into slaughter of
Tamil civilians
[TamilNet,
Thursday, 04 June 2009]
Sri Lanka has no plans to investigate
allegations that its security forces massacred 20,000 Tamil
civilians in the final stages of an offensive against the Tamil
Tigers, and neither is Colombo willing to eventually accept an
international probe, trade minister G. L. Peiris said Wednesday
in Tokyo. "No, we don't regard that attitude as acceptable. That
is some kind of inquisition," Peiris, a former peace negotiator
said, according to an AFP report. Last week, leading British and
French newspapers published their investigations, including
interviews with UN officials, into the massacre.

In the UK we are a registered charity and we work in partnership with registered Non Governmental Organisation who has being working over twenty years with major international aid and development organisations. Dr. N. S. Moorthy began White Pigeon in the UK and is the Chairman of White Pigeon.
We work with many major Non Governmental Organizations such as Mine Advisor Group, Norwegian Peoples Aid, Danish De-mining Group, UNICEF, and Swiss Foundation for Mine Action. White Pigeon was set up with the purpose of rehabilitating people in the north and east of Sri Lanka who have been disabled by the war in those areas. It particularly focuses on providing prosthetic limbs for the victims of land-mines, and offers counselling, rehabilitation and vocational training for those affected.
