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.

The US plans to introduce resolution on Sri Lankan war atrocities at the United Nations meet after report on cold-blooded murder of LTTE Chief Prabhakaran’s 12-year-old son. Meanwhile, ‘No Fire Zone’ documentary maker Callum Macrae told CNN-IBN that he has more evidence of atrocities on tape.

The US plans to introduce its own resolution on the issue at the Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva. This comes a day after a new report by UK’s Channel 4 showed how late LTTE Chief Prabhakaran’s son was killed allegedly by the Lankan army in 2009. A series of pictures show him in an army truck, eating a few biscuits and soon after you can see him dead with five bullet wounds. (IBNLive)
