(June 17, Paris, Sri Lanka Guardian) Sri Lanka’s Ambassador to France, Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka, in comments to Radio France International (rfi), pointed out that the campaign in sections of the western media were similar to the claims once made regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) in Iraq.
Ambassador Jayatilleka further questioned the scurrilous claims being made of tens of several thousands of people having been intentionally killed in the last stages of the conflict in Sri Lanka, while noting that there wouldn’t be 11, 000 former LTTE cadres who surrendered and were undergoing rehabilitation, if that had been true.
The comment was carried on a News and current affairs programme on RFI in response to the programme screened by Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2011.
