[/FONT][FONT=&quot]We hope that Ms. Pillay will admit when she addresses the UN Human Rights Council that she made room for a former LTTE widow but not victims of LTTE terror some of whom are now blinded and unable to make a living simply because LTTE was a pawn for them.[/FONT]  [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]  [FONT=&quot]We note with thanks that she has acknowledged the impressive development across the north and east within a short span of just 4 years – where the people of these areas are now beneficiaries of basic infrastructure and facilities that the LTTE had denied them. Yes these are physical reconstruction and for dignity to return we need to have the perpetrators taken to task and that Ms. Pillay starts by collaring the LTTE fronts and the TNA for their terror crimes as well as many in Government and Opposition who had aligned with the LTTE for money and other remunerations – all of these people now need to be named and they must all be punished for their crimes.[/FONT]  [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]  [FONT=&quot]Her observations of the military presence obviously is an echo of the concerns placed by members of the TNA and likeminded and not the ordinary people of the North who have at no stage shown their dislike for the military or the presence and military presence is development is part and parcel of how the US armed corps functions so it is nothing exclusive to Sri Lanka. This is why she was careful to say that demilitarization was nothing that could be done over night. Ms.Pillay should know better than to confine her closing arguments to what she had ‘heard’ because we would immediately equate all that she says to what she had ‘heard’ without proof and for a UNHRC head to simply use her office to make statements on what she has ‘heard’ is simply not done. If she is concerned about private land acquisition she needs to question the UNF Government and present UNP leader as well as present foreign minister who was then part of the UNF Government as to how Mahavir families obtained Tamil lands and adjusted original deeds to include their names! [/FONT]  [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]  [FONT=&quot]Now that Ms. Pillay brought up the subject of sexual abuse and the ‘We will teach you a lesson’ report prepared by the Human Rights Watch whose 140 page account gives just 175 cases over a 6 year period between 2006-2012 without corroborated evidence and classified as ‘widespread’ sexual abuse. Yet the former GA herself a Tamil admitted that much of the sexual abuse prevalent takes place not by army soldiers but by Tamils upon Tamils and committed by family members themselves. It is totally out of context for Ms. Pillay to plug this statement into her concluding statement to imply the army was to blame for sexual abuse.[/FONT]</blockquote>
