[b]HRW chides Sri Lanka government's lethargic approach to violence: Blames LTTE for starting killings in Trincomalee[/b]
[b]New York, 25 April, (Asiantribune.com): [/b]In a scathing report on the recent ethnic flare up and tension in Trincomalee, the New York based Human Rights Watch lambasted Sri Lanka Government’s failure to respond adequately to the recent armed attacks by armed groups on Tamils and their homes. Also Human Right Watch placed the blame squarely on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (the Tamil Tigers) for bombing and responsible for the ethnic violence. HRW repeated its call to the LTTE to end all attacks on civilians.
Human Rights watch alleged that Police and other security forces reportedly stood by, as Tamils were attacked on April 12 after an alleged Tamil Tiger bomb at a Trincomalee market killed five persons.
Human Rights Watch revealed: "Witnesses said that within 15 minutes approximately 100-150 ethnic Sinhalese men armed with clubs and long knives attacked Tamil businesses and homes in Trincomalee town and district. Sri Lankan human rights organizations reported that attacks from April 12 to 16 left at least 20 civilians dead (including seven women), among them Tamils, Muslims and Sinhalese. Some 75 persons needed hospital attention for injuries."

HRW chides Sri Lanka government's lethargic approach
One thing is clear that if tamil, muslims and sinhala people can live together if only LTTE destroyed like JVP in 70's. LTTE brain-washed many young tamils with their terror teori against sinhaleese and muslims people.
The GOSL together with internationa community should take carefuly and hardly action agsinst the LTTE Terror group.

Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch pointed out, "The failure of the security forces in Trincomalee to protect the Tamil population should raise alarm bells at the highest levels of government. [b]The government has a responsibility to protect all Sri Lankans, no matter whether they are Tamil, Muslim or Sinhalese."[/b] [/quote]
