New Delhi: Sri Lankan High Commissioner Prasad Kariyawasam
on Wednesday rejected claims made by a documentary that showed LTTE's chief
Prabhakaran's son dead with five bullet wounds and said the photos in the
documentary are "morphed". He added the documentary was the
propaganda of LTTE backers and that the Sri Lankan military did not kill
Prabhakaran's 12-year-old son.
"Prabhakaran's
son could have been killed in crossfire while he was in a little bunker. There
is no need for an international probe," Kariyawasam said in an interview
to CNN-IBN.
A
British documentary had earlier shown photos of the late LTTE chief's son being
fed while in the Sri Lankan government's custody. The next set of pictures show
him shot dead with five bullet wounds.
"Indian
Tamil leaders should visit Sri Lanka to see progress. There is no Ealam.
Sentiment in Tamil Nadu is worrying. We cannot tell India how to vote in
Geneva. It is a responsible regional power," Kariyawasam said.
The
documentary 'No Fire Zone' has set off a new round of protests over alleged
human rights violation by Sri Lanka forces during 2009. Groups like Human
Rights Watch and Amnesty now are demanding that the film be taken up by the
United Nations as evidence.
