HR bodies wake up !

The LTTE terrorists have again showed their true colours. Their cruel and inhuman mentality was again proved yesterday with the latest terror act - a bus bomb explosion in Dambulla.

Rejecting all peace efforts, the world's most ruthless terrorist organisation has again killed innocent civilians, who were on a pilgrimage. Saturday's merciless act should be an eye opener to all, especially those who make a big hue and cry on human rights.

They should voice strongly to protect human rights of those innocent civilians who have become victims of Velupillai Prabhakaran's barbaric acts.

The time is now opportune to conduct an universal operation to eradicate terrorism. We should not let a group of terrorists kill innocent civilians under the guise of so-called liberation or human rights.

We urge the international community and all human rights organisations to support Sri Lanka's battle against terrorism because we strongly believe that terrorism in any corner of the globe is terrorism!
