The following images from Sri Lanka include a few from within the war zone during the last days of the civil war and the defeat of the Tamil Tigers (they are the images towards the end). We also have images from the war zone that we chose not to include due to their graphic nature – they are heart breaking. The war zone pictures were taken by an unnamed priest.
Also included are images from the Sri Lankan military parade that was held to celebrate the defeat of the LTTE (Tamil Tigers) and pictures taken from within one of the restricted IDP (Internally Displaced People) camps where various aid agencies are assisting. They were taken by a person who shall remain anonymous.
The photographer also authored an article that can be read here.

Instead of using poison gas to kill all the Tamils in seconds, Sri Lankan government is withdrawing food, medicine and clean water and making the people to live in horrific conditions, so that the Genocide can be carried out slowly inside closed doors.
Well planned Genocide is going on with the covert blessing of the UK and support of dirty India.
The ‘world community’, the messiah of peace, is really the blood sucking instrumental mechanism of the world bourgeoisie. The recent killings of Eeelam Tamils with the support of ‘world community’ by the infamous Sri Lankan racist regime, the invasion of Iraq and the Russia’s war on Chechnya are the important events where the conspiratorial capabilities of the world bourgeoisie and its unity based on diversified interests are working as a killing machine against the inhabitants all over the world.
I agree that the SL Govt. is run by imbeciles sometimes; but please don’t try to whitewash Prabahakaran and the LTTE who killed any other Tamil leader for the sole reason that they were a leader of the Tamil people;
Mr. Appapillai Amirthalingam, Mr. Uma Maheswaran, Dr. Neelan Tiruchelvam, MR. Lakshman Kadiragamar
Just to name a few……
