LTTE Prabhakaran’s Son was shot down By Sri Lankan Forces In Cold Blood
LTTE chief Prabhakaran’s 12-year-old boy was defeated by Sri Lankan security personnel department in a ghastly manner. A documentary film has came out in which the young boy is lying dead with five bullet holes in his chest. His name is Balachandran Prabhakaran, and he is the son of the LTTE leader, Vellupillai Prabhakaran. He has been put to death in cold-blood,” said the documentary’s maker, Callum Macrae. Macrae says the video recording “seems to have been shot a antic trophy video by Sri Lankan forces.”
In the meantime, the Sri Lankan High Commission in London has reportedly “categorically rejected the malicious allegations” of the 60-minute documentary titled ‘Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields: War Crimes Unpunished’.
Dundee University forensic pathologist Derrick Pounder, who studied the pictures, has said the muzzle is likely to have been “two to three feet or less” from the boy’s chest. “It’s likely that the shooter was standing over him while he was lying flat on the ground after the first shot. So this is murder. There’s no doubt about it,” he said.
The Sri Lanka High Commissioner in India rejected the charges made by the filmmaker Callum Macrae.
“In our view this is a tentative report, uncorroborated and not being authenticated. This has not been shared with us for us to check. It goes against journalism ethics. The report is motivated and is concocted,” Lankan High Commissioner to India Prasaz Kariyawasam told PTI in New Delhi.
The report comes ahead of a crucial vote on US-backed UN Human Rights Council resolution for an inquiry into human rights violations by Lankan army.
A report in a London newspaper says, “The programme has also obtained unofficial footage, which suggests that his father Velupillai sustained a massive head wound-when his body was shown on television his head was covered by a rag. Separate stills see him first in uniform, then stripped naked and finally smeared in mud.”
Last year, Channel 4 aired a documentary titled Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields that highlighted alleged war crimes by the Sri Lankan forces as it extinguished the rebel Tigers. This documentary will also be telecast on Channel 4.
