Desecration of the Mass Graves at Mullivaikal


| by L.Annadoure

(September 23, 2012. Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) Nearly 2,00,000 Eelam Tamils  were killed by the Sri Lankan Army which had profusely and indiscriminately used chemical weapons, incendiary bombs, cluster bombs and other weapons which have been proscribed by International Convention and Treaties. Although the Sri Lankan Government had staunchly and persistently denied ever having used proscribed and banned weapons  in the war against the Eelam Tamils, several unexploded cluster bombs which were recovered from the site  tender evidence and amply prove the fact of having used proscribed weapons and such of the bombs which were recovered there were manufactured  in Russia ( Tamil Net Web site had published the pictures of Russian manufactured unexploded cluster bombs) and Russia has had actively colluded with Sri Lankan Government in dumping on Eelam land the proscribed lethal cluster bombs which were given to Sri Lanka as a baker’s dozen in token of having  purchased  huge quantities of armaments and heavy artilleries and  even now we learn that  the Sri Lankan Government is about to procure armaments from Russia for an amount of 2300 Million Dollars in order to emerge victoriously  and tide over the questions of accountability and answerability pertaining accusation of war crimes and genocide against Tamils in the forthcoming Universal Periodic Review which is scheduled for 1st November 2012. Recently unexploded cluster bombs and gas masks have also been recovered during demining operations. Very recently unexploded cluster bomb has been recovered from a Well while deepening and de silting it. The dead bodies of  Eelam Tamils and the liberators who fought for their cause had been dumped en masse into graves. Athirvu.com  has disclosed a news on 19.9.2012 that it has been closely monitoring the landscape and physical features of the place where mass graves were situate with the help of Google Maps and it has been collecting and storing the  satellite imageries provided by Google maps   after the war.


The  picture found above was said to have been taken at the fag end of 2009 where mass graves could easily be seen. When the accusation of Genocide and war crimes were levelled against the Government it had decided to  open the mass graves, take out the skeletal remains and dispose them in order to cause disappearance of evidence relating to Genocide and war crimes and therefore Sri Lankan Government had sought the assistance of the Vietnam Military personal  in disposing the bones who in pursuit of the scheme had visited the place in or about June 2011 and similarly the Sri Lankan Government had obtained special acid very recently from Chinese Government to incinerate the bones and  thus several mass graves came to be  uncovered and acid was poured on and over the remains and in fact those mass graves which were in existence then in  Mullivaikal, Retta Mullivaikal and Pudhumatalan  had just disappeared.



 The latest satellite imageries shown above do reveal that several buildings which were in existence in 2009 were demolished  and removed away and many military camps have sprung up in their place. And further the latest Satellite pictures amply prove  the factum of use of acid to incinerate the  bones in the mass graves  and one could see the  area having been covered with a greenish moss like vegetation which indicate that something has gone wrong with the soil. The conspicuous  absence of vegetation from the area vouch for the fact of prevalence of a situation  of  a  nuclear wet fallout and the Government has knowingly and mindlessly has contaminated the soil, water source and aquifers. What the Sri Lankan has done to the mass graves at present reminds one of the Hitlerites who having dug up the pits and trenches where they had earlier dumped the dead bodies of Jews, hastily removed the skeletal remains and ground the bones into powdery ash in the mill and mixed them with rubbish or  burnt the bones in ovens in order to escape from culpability of extermination of Jews. What will the Nations which had actively collaborated with Sri Lankan Government  and perpetrated the crime of Genocide on Eelam Tamils,  the  Nations  which had accorded logistics support in one way or another and some Nations which do still vociferously and volubly swear that they would  ever support  and stand with the Sri Lankan Government in times of need, say about the propriety of act on the part of  Sri Lankan Government?  After having said that there was absolutely no civilian death but the death of 7000 and odd members of  Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, why should they do away with such a vital evidence and or rather cause disappearance of such a piece of evidence in a surreptious manner? The Eelam Tamils who were butchered, thrown into pits and covered as one would dump carcases of animals,  by peace loving and humanitarian minded Sri Lankan  Military, did not want a green burial given to them in this way. Is not such an act a sacrilege committed against the dead? The bones of Tamils which have become so obnoxious should be incinerated into ash but bones of others be venerated! Therefore the Nations which have been according support to Sri Lanka must reconsider continuance of such support of whatsoever nature  and take up the issues of Genocide on Eelam Tamils and crimes against humanity for consideration and they must render justice to the Tamils and further the trio in which India is a member must take note of the averments stated above and endeavour to act  and cause committing the offenders to the provisions of International Law.  .
