Ruthless - LTTE's Final Crimes Against Humanity ()

Synopsis:
"Ruthless" the documentary movie produced by the Ministry of Defence and Urban Development was launched on Wednesday morning at the auditorium of Media Center for National Security.

The Documentary depicts many horrendous atrocities committed by Tamil Tigers, during the past three decade long war. So far, quite a few were revealed to the world. Majority of them were hidden and remained unknown and needed to be unearthed to show the world who Tamil Tigers really were. Sometimes, people who have witnessed them still feared to reveal their horrific experiences since; they know who LTTE were when they were under them.

However, the documentary "Ruthless" recounts true accounts of survivors who once, had lived under brutal and repressive regime of Tamil Tigers; now speak freely, of what they had experienced during the days of war.

The Tamil Tigers not only targeted innocent civilians but also targeted many religious places, the clergy, children and even their disabled and wounded cadres.

The "Ruthless" is a story about such crimes against humanity.

It is well known to the world that many calculated efforts are being taken by various groups to whitewash the LTTE and its atrocities and accusing the government of Sri Lanka for allegedly committed war crimes instead.

The Director General of the Media Centre for National Security Mr. Laxman Hulugalle addressing a Media Conference held in Colombo in connection with the release of the DVD said that this DVD cassette is a fitting response to the Tamil diaspora and Channel 4 who supported the tiger terrorists showing fabricated information during the recent past, and for the international media.

He said that the Tamil community in the North and East has gone through a harrowing ordeal during the past three decades due to war and terrorism, and they had no freedom even to speak against the bitter experiences they had to face. He further said that this cassette has been produced not for political advantage or for any personal benefits, but to give a correct understanding about the experiences of the Tamil community of the North and East during the war period.

The "Ruthless" is released amidst such allegations to show the world what really took place during the time of war.

Media spokesmen of the tri-forces and the Police also attended the Media Conference.
