Batticaloa Sinhalese demanding franchise stripped nude and attacked at MaRa’s rally-7 month pregnant woman and 11 others hospitalized

(Lanka-e-News -21.Dec.2014, 9.30AM) What you see in the photograph herein is not the terror and torture of the Gestapos of brutal Hitler of the past . This is a photograph depicting the actual horrors faced by the present innocent Sri Lankan (SL) Sinhalese in their own country under their own ‘dictator’ who is a Sri Lankan Sinhalese himself . Believe it or not ,the victim who is being dragged so brutally after being stripped nude in this photograph is not a terrorist but an innocent Sri Lankan citizen who had incurred the displeasure of SL ‘s Medamulana MaRa , the local ‘Hitler’. The victim of this torture and torment is not being so punished because he is a kudu (heroin) Kingpin or ethanol dealer , but a typical Sinhalese who demanded legitimate rights to franchise.

Day before yesterday (19) , when an election rally of Mahinda Rajapakse was held in Batticaloa , the Sinhalese residents of Keviliyaamaduwa staged a protest march demanding their rights to franchise.

These residents who were displaced during the war , have still not received any relief from the government for so long even after the war ended, and are living in utter destitution. The ‘Northern bloom’ had not blossomed in their lives. Though Muslim villages were created in Batticaloa , these Sinhalese families have not been restored their land rights yet .They are still refugees .

Like how they are divested of their lands even their voting rights have not been restored. These Kevliyaamaduwa village Sinhala residents who are in abject suffering therefore went for the President’s rally with the hope of demanding their fundamental rights as humans. But , the treatment they received was worse than that meted out to beasts by the police force who were at the meeting . They were furiously and ruthlessly attacked by the police with batons, and dragged along the streets after being stripped naked . It is to be noted that these villagers are Sinhalese people who are still without fixed abodes ,victims of war devastation , and hence made a peaceful and legitimate protest to get redress to their unending woes .The enormity of police brutality was borne out by the number of seriously injured innocent Sinhala citizens who were admitted to the hospital – at least 12 so far .

Among these casualties was a woman in an advanced state of pregnancy carrying a 7 month old baby in her womb. With whose patronage did these cops alias ‘khaki crows’ behave so high handedly ? If Mahinda Rajapakse the self proclaimed patriot who brags so much on public platforms about his love for the Sinhalese is treating these same unarmed people this ruthlessly and callously , one can imagine what torment and torture he is inflicting on the Tamils and Muslims .
