Channel 4 playing professional fouls
Channel 4 in its new release has alleged that the
doctors who had made various statements to international media when they
were serving in government hospitals during war time in Wanni, have
changed their stance due to pressure by government while under custody
of Criminal Investigation Department (CID). If the doctors recant their
eyewitnesses they would be imprisoned under Sri Lanka's Prevention of
Terrorism Act (PTA), it has alleged.
This seems another loony allegation level against the
government of Sri Lanka by the CH 4. The fact remains true that when the
doctors in NFZ, they were entirely under control of the LTTE. The
doctors were well aware of the repercussions they would have to face if
they say anything against the Tamil Tigers. So they had spoken for them
giving exaggerated civilian casualty figures, blaming security forces of
arbitrary shelling on hospitals and so on and so forth to the
international media. This they had done only for the sake of their
survival and to treat the injured
they later revealed.
