Tamil death toll ‘is 1,400 a week' at Manik Farm camp in Sri Lanka
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6676792.ece#cid=OTC-RSS&attr=797093
These internment camps are further implementing the genocide upon the Tamils that Sri Lanka left unfinished. Monstrous that this should be going on with the full knowledge of the international community. Thanks for documenting this. The Tamil people are brave, strong and love each other very much. Even this dark time will be overcome. Freedom for the Tamil people and their homeland!
"about 1,400 people are dying every week at the giant Manik Farm internment camp set up in Sri Lanka to detain Tamil refugees...the death toll will add to concerns that the Sri Lankan Government, which has termed the internment sites "welfare villages" has actually constructed concentration camps to house 300,000 people...
"There are allegations that the Government is attempting to change the ethnic balance of the area. Influential people close to the Government have argued for such a solution.."
that would be genocide of course, just as all those people marching daily in Toronto said it was and would be
meanwhile,
"Deepak Obhrai, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada...observed that the IDP facilities are fulfilling the needs.." -(from the ISRIA item at #60)
needs of whom is the question, as the article also states Canada will be doing bilateral deals with Sri Lanka (on par if not worse than doing a bilateral deal with Colombia) and do 'infrastructure' and 'de-mining', which reminds us of Afghanistan, and other places where our corporations ransack and steal, building highways for pipelines and mining corporations, stairways to hell.

INTERVIEW - Update Geneva Conventions, Red Cross says
http://in.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idINIndia-41578620090806
[url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8188900.stm][color=green]New Tamil Tiger leader "arrested"[/color][/url]
The Tamil Tiger rebels' new leader, Selvarasa Pathmanathan, has been arrested, Sri Lankan officials say.
Sri Lanka's defence minister told the BBC that Mr Pathmanathan, better known as KP, was detained in Thailand, where he had been residing for many years.
He took over the leadership of the remnants of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) after their defeat in May by Sri Lankan security forces.
Mr Pathmanathan was wanted on two Interpol warrants. [...]
As the new rebel leader, Mr Pathmanathan said the LTTE had decided to silence their guns and would try non-violent methods to achieve their goal of a separate state for the Tamil minority.
If Mr Pathmanathan's arrest is independently confirmed, it would be another significant blow for the LTTE.
He is also wanted in India in connection with the assassination of the former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, by a suspected Tamil female suicide bomber, in 1991.
