(Lanka-e-News 27.Aug.2015, 11.00PM) During the Mahinda Rajapakse brutal reign, following the white Van abductions,the victims were taken to the Girithale army camp where a torture chamber and a murder chamber were operated, and were killed there after inflicting torture. Thereafter the remains of these victims were taken to remote places of burial and hidden by depositing them in the tombs of others and covered. The slabs on the existing tombs are opened and the bodies of the victims are deposited within, the CID has uncovered during investigation.
An ex minister Mervyn Silva a bosom pal of the Rajapakses, revealed during the period of the regime these white van operations were carried out by none other than ex defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse. Mervyn Silva who was extremely close to the Rajapkses at one time surely must be knowing the Rajapakse secrets , cruelties, brutalities and murder instincts better than all else.
During the Rajapakse reign when the white Van fear psychosis was raging among the people, various murder squads associated with the white van abducted wealthy multi million businessmen, landed proprietors , planters, journalists, trade union activists, political opponents of Rajapakses , NGO officials, and took them to the Girithale camp after first blindfolding them.
It was the favorite occupation of the abductors to detain them at the camp , and demand ransom in millions from the relatives of the victims with the full knowledge and permission of Gotabaya Rajapakse.
All these criminal operators were provided with separate SIM cards for their phones. It has come to light one exclusive SIM card only is used pertaiining to each abduction.
Victims who succeeded in granting the ransom demanded were released after taking them to remote places and removing the blindfolds. In other instances where the victims were unable to oblige them with cash ransoms , signatures were obtained on papers which are proof that ownership of their lands and properties have been transferred outright to the army criminal officers. Thereafter they are released, the investigations have revealed.
Those victims who could not provide what are mentioned in the foregoing paragraph , are subjected to first degree torture and killed. The bodies are then taken to the cemeteries , deposited and hidden inside existing graves of others after removing the tomb slabs, and covering again.
Based on unofficial secret reports , when Prageeth was being interrogated at Girithale camp , the self proclaimed web gode father scoundrel who says he is of portuguese origin had secretly passed a copy of the book written by Prageeth about Rajapakse family to Gotabaya , and had helped those bestial army officers who were questioning , and exchanged ideas with them.
It is this same web gode father having portuguese sername in him who is indulging in all the sordid activities to cleanse and portray the Rajapakses as pure while blaming the murder of Prageeth on Karuna Amman and Champika Ranawake , and also making a din, falsely accusing that Prageeth is a LTTE cadre.
