They quote two people claiming to be soldiers and alleging  that the executions were done by us. These are false propaganda”, the  Defence Secretary told the Daily Mirror.        “The United Nations Country Representative at that time Neil Burhne  never informed us about people who were surrendering to the security  forces. How can they say that the United Nations estimated that 40,000  civilians were killed during the last days of the war? The Mullaitivu  Government Agent had 300,000 registered civilians and at the end of the  war it was 294,000. The rest, most of them LTTE cadres were killed  during confrontations with the security forces and some of them managed  to flee to Canada and India”, Mr. Rajapaksa said.           “We are protecting the families of Soosai and Thamilselvan. Soosai’s  family was caught when they attempted to flee the country. We could have  killed them as Soosai was responsible for the death of all the sailors.  We are taking care of them now. We took good care of Prabhakaran’s  parents as well”, he added.        “More than 11,000 ex combatants who were mass murderers and suicide  cadres surrendered to the security forces. We rehabilitated and educated  them and released them back to the society”, he said.         “We have evidence that the woman who appeared in the previous video was  a former LTTE cadre. She was among the 200,000 civilians who were  rescued by the security forces”, Mr. Rajapaksa said.DailymirrorUK government can't do anything about Channel 4Independent media, media freedom <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/nerd.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":nerd:" title="Nerd    :nerd:" data-shortname=":nerd:" />Looks like the SL government has given up going to court ?OfCom (media regulator) has also rejected the complaints it received</blockquote>
