The lawsuit was filed by Bruce Fein, a Washington-based attorney, who stated
"Rajapaksa will not escape the long arm of justice secured by the Torture Victims Protection Act by hiding in Sri Lanka. Extra-judicial killings under colour of law are universal torts. If President Rajapaksa refuses to defend against the complaint, a default judgment will be sought"...

Tamils Against Genocide (TAG), a US-based activist group advocating criminal legal action worldwide against Sri Lanka's alleged war-criminals, said in a press release issued today, that TAG's attorney is filing civil action against visiting Sri Lanka's President Mahinda Rajapakse for damages under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA/TVPA) on behalf of three plaintiffs for the killings of 40,000 civilians in Mullaiththeevu in 2009, killing of 5 Trincomalee students in January 2006, and for the killing of 17 Action contre la faim (ACF) workers in August 2006.

Sri Lanka's President, Mahinda Rajapakse, purportedly on a private visit to the U.S. is likely to remain in hiding with his physical whereabouts kept secret from the public to avoid another embarrassing battle with diaspora Tamils. While, as a matter of jurisprudential fairness, US Ambassador Butenis's acknowledgment that Rajapaksas have committed possible war-crimes in Sri Lanka should trigger a Justice Department investigation, Rajapakse would not have attempted to enter U.S. absent assurance from the State Department that he will not be subjected to any legal procedures. Rajapakse will also be aware that, unlike in the UK, in the US private citizens cannot apply for an arrest warrant.   ...   More »

The tribunal also concluded that the charge of Genocide requires further investigations. Eye witnesses included several escapees from the final week of Sri Lanka offensive in the Mullaitivu "No Fire Zone" where more than 20,000 Tamil civilians were allegedly slaughtered by Sri Lanka Army (SLA) training heavy weapons on them.  ...   More »

Tamils Against Genocide spokesperson speaks at the  vigil in London on July 23, 2011 to remember the victims of Black July.

"Black July was, and remains, hugely symbolic for the island’s future. It was the first act of genocide in Sri Lanka to be internationally recognised - by the International Commission of Jurists, no less.

To date, there has not been a single prosecution for the murders of thousands of Tamils, either in the domestic or international courts. Notwithstanding the pogrom being recognised as an act of genocide. Notwithstanding there being no limitation on time under the UN convention on prosecution for genocide.Black July remains a standing challenge to international commitment to accountability not just in Sri Lanka, but elsewhere."  ...   More »

Tamils Against Genocide spokesperson delivers speech in London at a memorial for the victims of Sri Lanka's 2009 genocide of the Tamils in the Vanni region:
“The British government’s delay in seeking international justice for victims of genocide must be a matter of continuing shame for our country.
We as British citizens demand that the British government lives up to its international obligations, that it recognizes formally that genocide has occurred in Sri Lanka and it moves the UN Security Council, the Human Rights Council and General Assembly for an international investigation. I know that the entire British people stand with us in this demand. Because it is consistent with fairness and the rule of law, both of which are deeply held British values.”  ...   More »

We plan to submit a modified complaint soon."  ...   More »

A spokesperson for Tamils Against Genocide (TAG), US-based activist group said, "UN members with veto power can, not only not refer rogue non-member states that commit war-crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, such as Sri Lanka, to the ICC, but also can block the ICC Prosecutor from using his discretionary powers to begin investigations on crimes that violate international law."

Under US's insistence, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), during its weekend sessions lasting into late nights on drafting a resolution on Libya, had to include a provision that "exempts personnel from states not members of the International Criminal Court (ICC) from prosecution," Innercity Press (ICP) reported. The provision was a "red line" for the US, and was deal breaker, a French Representative told the ICP, adding, the provision had to be included to have the "unanimity of the Council."   ...   More »

A spokesperson for US-based activist organization, Tamils Against Genocide (TAG), responding to the statements from the Ambassador and the Colombo-based presidential spokesperson which attempted to portray groups involved in law-suits as LTTE fronts, warned: "statements alleging that an organization engaged in legally and morally defensible activism concerning Tamil rights, as LTTE-front without preponderance of evidence, are cognizable as defamatory under tort law, and have serious legal consequences." Noting Sri Lanka's Ambassador's response to the law suit filed in US by three Tamil plaintiffs as initiated by LTTE-front organizations involved in "publicity stunts like this baseless law suits," Bruce Fein, the attorney for the plaintiffs said that the Ambassador Wickramasuriya was an honest man but was apparently instructed that if both the facts and the law demonstrated President Rajapaksa’s criminal culpability, then he should bugle “Tamil Tigers” to confuse the issue.

Comparing alleged war-criminal and Sri Lanka's current President Rajapakse's reported admission into the United States to the Clinton administration's providing entry visa to genocidaire Radovan Karadzic to enter the U.S in order to attend the Vance-Owen Peace Negotiations in New York City, Professor Francis Boyle, expert in international law at the College of Law, University of Illinois, told TamilNet that Obama administration is obligated to apprehend, investigate and prosecute alleged genocidares for violating Geneva Convention and Genocide convention. Obama administration giving Rajapakse visa to enter US and allowing him free movement is "Machiavellian Realpolitik at its worst," said Boyle.  Tamils Against Genocide spokesperson: "In the U.S. only the Justice Department can file criminal charges against individuals for war crimes.

Both genocide and crimes against humanity are systematic and widespread acts. The difference lies in the intention behind those acts.

Do the facts made available to the Dublin war-crimes tribunal on the available direct and circumstantial evidence that between 9 January 2009 and 25 March 2009, in areas in or nearby Puthukkudiyiruppu (PTK) Hospital, legally establish that the Sri Lankan Army (SLA) committed, purposely, intentionally or knowingly, via act or omission, war crimes against Tamil civilians? - was the legal question presented to the tribunal. "The legal admissibility of evidence, currently available and to be discovered in the future, and the question of culpability of Sri Lanka of war-crimes, are likely to continue well beyond Dublin," said a spokesperson for the US-based pressure group, Tamils Against Genocide (TAG), on the attack on the PTK hospital during the early months of 2009.   ...   More »
