New evidence emerges on war crimes committed on இசைப்பிரியா[TamilNet, Sunday, 05 December 2010, 19:26 GMT]
The gruesome killing of 27-year-old LTTE journalist Shoba (இசைப்பிரியா) is a clear case of war crime committed by Sri Lanka Army, as evidences come forth indicate. Isaippriyaa never went for any kind of military training. She was exempted by the LTTE from such training, as she was a patient of Rheumatic Heart Valvular Disease, says a medical practitioner who was working in Vanni and who has personally seen her taking Echo Cardiogram test conducted by visiting US and Australian cardiologists. Until 8 May 2009 she was working as a volunteer in the Mu’l’livaaykkaal makeshift hospital. She was taken by SLA on 23rd or 24th of May 2009, while staying in D8/ Zone 4 of the Cheddiku'lam internment camp, according to the wife of the medical practitioner, a media worker who was also interned in the camp at that time.
Isaippiriyaa appearing in O'liveechchu, February 2001Isaippriyaa’s infant child Akal, suffered aspiration while in a bunker during a Kfir bombing, got admitted in the hospital and died on 15 March 2009, the medical practitioner told TamilNet.
Above: The pictures were taken by keeping a mobile phone camera in a shopping bag. They show the scene of some camp inmates being taken into a vehicle by the SLA and kith and kin crying for them. Several men and women in the camp were taken at gunpoint by SLA and were transferred to unknown destination. Nothing was heard about them later, the medical practitioner witnessing the events said.
Below: Hunger deaths in the internment camp in Vavuniyaa. Another woman was also taken along with Isaippriyaa from the interment camp by the SLA, says the wife of the medical practitioner.
The meta-data found in the video released by the Journalists for Democracy in Sri Lanka (JDS) to Channel-4 on August 25, 2009, showed 18 July 2009 as the date of recording. The present release involving the killing of Isaippiriyaa belongs to the same scene of massacre.
Administrations of many countries, especially the Co-Chairs, and the UN, repeatedly appealed to the people to come out of the war zone. When they came out none of them were there to take care.
On the isolation and internment of LTTE combatants, The UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon said that Sri Lanka has the right to intern them for up to one year. But the UN was not there to see who were combatants and who were non-combatants.
Isaippriyaa’s case is a clear instance, raising many pertinent questions on behalf of thousands of victims like her, pointing at not only towards the Rajapaksa regime for the war crimes, but also towards the war crimes responsibility of the international system, the UN and the administrations of several countries.
The medical practitioner also confirms that there were several deaths in the internment camps, due to hunger and diseases. Most of the victims were the elderly and children. The children died mainly due to meningitis, hepatitis, diarrhoea and cerebral malaria, the medical practitioner said.
Hunger and diseases took the life of a large number of civilians in the war zone too. On the number of people staying in the war zone, the Colombo government and the Indian government insisted on a figure that was just one fifth of the actual figure, while the UN citation was only half.
Who were responsible for the wrong figures and the resultant death of a large number of civilians lacking supplies of food and medicine, is another area the war crimes investigation may have to concentrate.
Classified documents being leaked by WikiLeaks show that at least there was intention in the West to stop the war and to organize an international responsibility for the affected people. But there were some establishments that sat on any international intervention and they contributed to the crimes as such that was committed to Isaippriyaa and thousands of victims like her.
Obviously such establishments would oppose to any war crimes investigation.

WikiLeaks: British Police Arrest Assange
The 39-year-old Australian was detained by Scotland Yard officers at around 9.30am after he voluntarily went to a police station in central London.
Police contacted Mr Assange's lawyer last night after receiving a fresh European arrest warrant from the Swedish authorities, as anger grows in the US over the latest leaked embassy cables by the whistleblowing website.
Labelling the move as a "political stunt", Mr Assange's solicitor Mark Stephens said his client wants to find out what allegations he faces so he can clear his name.
Mr Stephens has warned any attempt to extradite Mr Assange will be resisted, "mainly on the grounds that he may be handed over to the Americans".
Two women in Sweden have claimed they were sexually attacked when Mr Assange visited the country in August.
Sky News' foreign affairs editor Tim Marshall said: "Mr Assange had sex with the two women on August the 15th and 17th but two days later they both went to a police station and claimed one rape and one sexual molestation.
"Mr Assange admits he had consensual sex with the women but he absolutely denies these charges."
Mr Assange is expected to appear before City of Westminster magistrates within the next few hours so a decision can be made about whether the warrant is appropriate for extradition.
Sky News' reporter Paul Harrison expects that Mr Assange will be released on bail for a sum between £100,000 and £200,000.
He said: "We're talking about a lot of money for him to be released on bail and it will have to be money from six separate people.
"If the money can't be found then he will have to be held in custody on remand, but I don't think that will be the case as he won't find it difficult to find the bail money.
"And I don't think there are any concerns that he will go on the run. It was his intention to meet the police and he denies all the allegations against him."
Officials in Washington are said to be watching developments "very closely".
Sky News' US correspondent Greg Milam said: "There is a growing clamour in the US for something to be done even if they're not completely sure what that should be.
"The big fear for everyone here is what comes next. What will be contained in the next leak of documents and how damaging will that be?"
Yesterday, Prime Minister David Cameron's national security adviser ordered all government departments to provide "assurances" about the quality of IT security.
