Bruce Haigh has responded to an article by Sri Lanka’s Consul-General in Sydney to the Weekend Australian titled “Diplomats paint one-sided picture of Sri Lanka”.
Two men extradited from Canada on charges of supporting a Sri Lankan rebel group that has been designated a foreign terrorist organization by the United States were ordered held without bond Thursday during an appearance in Federal District Court in Brooklyn.
Since LTTE emerged in 1972, it assassinated a president, a prime minister, Tamil and Sinhalese politicians, GOSL ministers and innocent Tamil and Sinhalese civilians.
Since Bruce Haigh (”Diplomats paint one-sided picture of Sri Lanka”, December 28, p15) has singled me out by name for defending my country – which is my duty as Sri Lanka’s consul-general in Sydney – I would point out that he shouldn’t have rushed into places where better informed commentators would fear to tread.
