Meena Krishnamoorthy - who was used in Australia to level baseless allegations against President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the Security Forces - has been found to be a second rung commander of the LTTE’s ‘Malathi’ brigade.

The Army intelligence has uncovered that she had joined the LTTE international operations wing in December, 2003. She had subsequently traveled to a number of countries to promote LTTE activities. She at present acts as the chairperson of an LTTE supportive organization in Australia.

She had been trained in the ‘Malathi’ brigade for over five years and is also known as ‘Illanadi’ and ‘Thangani’ within the organization.

She is also believed to have had close links with LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.

She had got married to another hardcore LTTE leader ‘Kubiran’ alias ‘Thaiparan’ and in 2008 she had got pregnant. Later due to her military activities the child had been stillborn.

Recently she has come up to level false allegations against the Security Forces on a number of fronts and has also compiled documents containing fabricated material to support her allegations.

Australian TV uses LTTE cadre to attack SL ahead of CHOGM

Sri Lankan intelligence services have exposed an operation by Australia’s ABC TV Channel aimed at embarrassing President Mahinda Rajapaksa ahead of the forthcoming Commonwealth Heads of Meeting (CHOGM 2011) in Perth, Western Australia.

In spite of the LTTE’s propaganda efforts and threat of protests, the president will participate at the biennial meeting of leaders of one-time British colonies.

He will leave for Perth early this week for the three-day summit scheduled to be opened by Queen Elizabeth II on Oct. 28.

The Global Tamil Forum (GTF) is believed to be planning protests during CHOGM 2011.

An authoritative official told The Sunday Island that the Australian Channel had telecast a documentary targeting Sri Lanka over accountability issues citing an eyewitness account of Meena Krishnamoorthy.

They said that the so-called eye witness was an LTTE cadre Krishnamoorthy Navarangi Meena aka Eelanadee, a Sri Lankan born Australian citizen.

Valvettiturai-born Meena had returned to the then LTTE-held area in 2004 on the invitation of the LTTE and had three years later married a hardcore LTTE cadre.

The person interviewed by the Australian TV Channel had received a six-month military training programme and served the LTTE’s Malathi ‘regiment’ until the conclusion of the conflict in May 2009, these sources said.

UK’s Channel 4 News partly based its unsubstantiated ‘Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields’ on comments attributed to Sri Lankan born UK passport holder Vani Kumar believed to be a colleague of Meena.

"We believe they were in the Vanni together at the end of the war," a senior official said. The 50-minute long Channel 4 News production was aired by Channel 4 last June with the backing of the UK government, the official alleged.

Since then the documentary had been shown in various parts of the world, including Oslo, USA, India, Australia and the EU parliament.

Sri Lanka’s war time Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama told The Sunday Island on Friday that images of torture and the subsequent killing of Gaddafi now on the internet had exposed those seeking to avenge Prabhakaran’s killing citing LTTE propaganda propagated by a section of the international community and primarily three NGOs, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the International Crisis Group.

Military intelligence said that the international media and human rights watchdogs had stepped up using LTTE women in their propaganda offensive.

South Africa-based Vathsala Devi, an ex LTTE cadre (wife of LTTE leader Ramesh) recently moved the US judiciary against Sri Lanka. Another leading woman activist is Sampavi, former LTTE/TYO (Tamil Youth Organization) activist is presently playing an active role in Australian Tamil Congress (She represented ATC in the recent meeting with Green Party Australia)

Using Meena, a section of the Australia media had targeted President Rajapaksa, UN Ambassador Palitha Kohona, and Admiral Thisara Samarasinghe, Sri Lanka High Commissioner for Australia, intellingence sources said.

The military has also identified Meena’s husband, Irasarathnam Thayakaran,

Meena had been among a selected group of LTTE cadres sent to South Africa to follow a course in law and briefly coordinated LTTE activities in Malaysia.

Her husband, Thayakaran, had joined the LTTE in 1993 and served the Imran Pandiyan Special Regiment. He had been among those sent on a special mission to Johannesburg in Nov. 2003 and returned to country in December the same year.


LTTE rump Meena Krishnamoorthy lied to ICJA and to the Australian people

She has made baseless allegations, as people were 'massacred' in the final stages of the war against Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, and she is presently the LTTE‘s coordinator of the Tamil Youth Organization (TYO) in Australia.

She was recently interviewed by 'ABC’s 7.30 News Report' and she said that the reason why she came forward to tell her story was because, “I always believed in Justice.”

Though she tried to cover her real identity and come up with the concocted story, it has become clearly evidenced that she has told lies and half truths and misled the International Commission of Jurists, Australia (ICJA) with her distorted version about Sri Lanka on the last days of the battle between Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam –LTTE the ruthless terrorist organization that was responsible for the protracted 30 year long bloody ethnic conflict and the security forces of Sri Lanka.

Based on the lies nauseated by Meena Krishmamoorthy Mr. John Dowd, the President of the International Commission of Jurists, Australia (ICJA ) has prepared a report against Sri Lanka and handed over to the Australian Police chief to investigate and bring about charges against Sri Lanka President for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Even in an interview with ABC’s “7.30 Report” Mr. John Dowd has said "her story was credible". Now after the recent exposure about her, world is waiting for his response.

Already in our earlier news story Rump LTTE has their women operatives to spin stories to West NGO’s to satisfy their urge about ICJA and handing over the 500 page report on Sri Lanka to Australian Federal Police Commissioner Tony Negus, Asian Tribune pointed out that they have committed a serious breach of trust and confidence by taking on the face value of her account without cross checking the statement made by Meena Krishnamoorthy.

It all happened after Veerakulasingham Manivannan or better known as Castro was made the person in charge of the International LTTE operations. On 3rd December 2003. he organized the Tamil Youth Organization and its members were between the ages of 18 to 30 years.

For the 2004 conference of the TYO organized by Castro in Vanni, Meena Krishnamoorthy and many others from the United Kingdom, Canada and from other Western countries came to Vanni to participate in the conference.

But in her interview with Australia’s ABC News 7.30 she had stated that she went to Sri Lanka to work in the orphanages in Vanni, but now it has been proved beyond doubt that she visited Sri Lanka to participate in the TYO conference held in Vanni.

Meena Krishnamoorthy who came to Sri Lanka in 2004 stayed back in Vanni after the TYO conference. She joined the Malathi women regiment of the LTTE and initially underwent a three month basic arms training. She was given a name after her induction in the LTTE - 'Eelanadhi'.

Subsequently, she received the uniform meant for the LTTE women armed cadres, as well as the necklace with the cyanide capsule. As she has received them, she rightly became the LTTE armed cadre. She was also given further armed training.

Though she was registered with the Malathi regiment, she worked with Castro and was made a coordinator of TYO and on 2005 she was on a short visit to Europe.

In her interview with 'ABC 7.30 news', she has said that she met an accountant of the LTTE and married him.

But in fact she married one Kuberan alias Thayaparan who joined the LTTE militant wing in 1993 and in 1994 he joined the Castro group.

In Vanni, she was married to Kuberan in the beginning of 2008 after she conceived. It was suspected that she had extramarital relationship prior to her marriage with Kuberan and once she conceived, her marriage with Kuberan was arranged.

In October 2008, when she was into her 8th month of pregnancy and she complained that there was no moment of the baby and went to Dr.Ponnampalam’s Memorial Hospital which was run by LTTErs and was specially meant for the LTTE cadres. Asian Tribune reliably learnt that she was taken to the hospital by some LTTE armed cadres and not by her husband Kuberan and he was not seen anywhere when she went to the hospital and after.

At the Ponnampalam hospital, Asian Tribune learnt that Dr.V Shanmugarajah was channeled by the hospital authorities to check Meena Krishnamoorthy's condition.

Asian Tribune further learnt that Dr. Shanmugarajah, a gynecologist, who after examining the patient found that her child had died (infra uterine death) and put her on an observation for two weeks.

Asian Tribune also learnt that she wore jeans when she went to meet Dr. Shanmugarajah and she was told to come in a loose dress next time she visit the hospital.

After two weeks, Asian Tribune learnt that again she went to Dr. Ponnampalam memorial hospital to remove the dead baby. Agaiin it was Dr. Shanmugarajah who attended on her and inserted prostaglandins into her organ to induce pain and she delivered the dead baby virginally.

After the delivery, she was admitted in the hospital for two days and later discharged.

But she gave another version of the still born baby in her interview with 'ABC 7.30' as it was related to the last days of the war, with the view to create little bit of sympathy and to show the world that even the unborn babies were not safe during the last days of the battle.

It has become clear that the rump LTTE Meena Krishnamoorthy has clearly misled Mr. John Dowd, President of International Commission of Jurists, Australia (ICJA) with her distorted version.

Was Moammar Gaddafi the ONLY MAN who cared for African Blacks?

By Ananda-USA
October 28, 2011

African immigrants are OSTRACIZED and LEFT TO DIE in LIBYA in the wake of "Victory for Democracy" by Libyan rebels.

With Moammar Gaddafi who welcomed them, gave them jobs, and protected them now DEMONIZED and EXECUTED at the URGING of the Neocolonialists of the West, they are left to the VULTURES by the RACIST Islamists who inherited the new "Democratic Libya"!

What will NATO, in its infinite wisdom, that bombed Libya into this REGIME CHANGE, do to "Protect Civilians" now that the Islamists who inherited the new "Democratic Libya" does not want them?

I SUGGEST to these "bleeding heart" Western Neo-colonialist SERIAL BUNGLERS, who in their "democratic fervour" created this "humanitarian crisis", that they MAKE AMENDS by transporting these people to EUROPE.

In EUROPE, lovingly take care of them, restore to them their lost jobs, and grant them permanent resident visas in European Countries to boot.

YES, ALL 2,000,000 of needy Black Africans that Moammar Gaddafi provided for in the past!

How will they transport them to EUROPE you ask?

Use PLANES, Dear Henry, Use PLANES!

REMEMBER those vast Armadas of High Tech planes that NATO used to Bomb Libyan Government Forces and lavishly transport Weapons of War, and insert Special Forces Troops to win the "Democracy War" for the Islamists ... err, pardon me ... I mean the "Democratic Forces" ... in Libya?

Don't let them fly home empty ... you FOOLS; now transport the Black African refugees in LIBYA to EUROPE in them!

OR, will NATO undergo an ephiphany and  JOIN FORCES IN COMMON CAUSE with the reviled ISLAMISTS on this ONE ISSUE, and REFUSE TO FLY THE REFUGEES TO EUROPE because, after all, these PEOPLE ARE BLACK? Who wants Black People, eh?

Oh My God, was that DEVIL INCARNATE Moammar Gaddafi the only man of COMPASSION who CARED for BLACKS, the destitute, the needy in this world?

AMAZING revelation, a'int it ... that the REAL DEVILS always were the HYPOCRITES of the Neocolonialist West?

Libya's African migrants face harder life post-Kadhafi

By Simon Martelli
October, 2011

On the coast outside Tripoli, a squalid refugee camp shelters hundreds of African migrants who found work under Libya's former regime, but are now jobless, discriminated against and unable to return home.

Squatting in the derelict buildings of what was once a training centre for the ousted Libyan leader's special forces, they face racist abuse, attacks and robberies as they wait each day, hoping someone will offer them work or bring emergency food handouts. Clothes hang on makeshift washing lines. Piles of rubbish lie everywhere.

"Since we came here... we've been hoping, praying to God, believing one day maybe help will come from somewhere, because all we had has been taken," said Anthony, who worked on a building site before the conflict forced him to seek refuge in Sidi Bilal. "I've been beaten and robbed several times, even in the camp here... Sometimes, when we go out onto the streets, people start throwing stones at us because we're black," he added.

The camp's 700 residents are mostly young Nigerian men who fled the capital two months ago when it fell to the revolutionary forces that last week crushed the final pockets of resistance by Moammar Kadhafi loyalists. They are a tiny fraction of the number of people displaced by the conflict.

Over 700,000 migrant workers have left Libya since February, according to the International Organisation for Migration, but tens of thousands remain.

The Nigerians, the largest migrant community in Tripoli, found casual work before the city fell,washing cars or labouring on farms and building sites, jobs shunned by most Libyans.

But with many locals angered by claims that sub-Saharan mercenaries supported Kadhafi's regime, they now face hostility in their host nation.

"It is a problem having the Africans here," said Adil, one of the camp's security guards. "It's not healthy. They don't eat good food, they fight each other, and some of them came without passports, bringing diseases with them, only to cross into Europe." "The best solution is to send them back to their country," added the former fighter from Zawiyah.

Most of the camp's residents say they plan to return home following Kadhafi's ouster, because they no longer feel safe. But without cash or passports -- Nigeria does not have a consular representative in Tripoli -- they are currently unable to do so, stuck in a limbo with no way forward or backwards.

"Some of them don't want to go back. They've risked everything to make it this far," said Jeremy Haslam, the IOM's chief of mission in Libya. "But there are others who are eager to return, and they are desperately hoping that their temporary travels permits will be issued soon."

There are growing concerns among the humanitarian community that Libya's immigration policy will be tightened by the National Transitional Council. The new regime is already believed to be restricting aid to the camp, fearing that it may become a permanent settlement.

"We believe that since Libya is free from the past government, it should be a free Libya for everyone," said Anthony, one of the few residents who plans to tough it out. "Going back to my family empty handed would not be a good idea for me. So I think I prefer to stay here, to try to make some money to take care of them," he said.

But most in the camp see no future for themselves in the new Libya. "I came here to work and make money for my family. But when the crisis started everything changed. Now I just want to go home and start my life afresh," said Larry, a 33-year-old father of three.

Tactical Surrender

[Translated from my sinhala blog]
It happened during the height of war. War had extended its destruction beyond the best of imagination. Death was everywhere. The leaders responsible for the death were in hiding.

There is an expiry time for everything. No difference for hiding too. Victorious armies were surrounding the hideout. There was little to none hope of escape. Suddenly an enlightenment of "Peace" tingled the otherwise dogmatic minds of the leaders. It was a feeling that never rose until the death loomed over their heads - the very death they prescribed for many others.

Evading an inevitable death they came out. They thought of surrendering, which was their last option, in order for them to live for another day to lead the same war.

Victorious armies shot the leaders dead. They were unarmed.

"These deaths of leaders... Are they war crimes?"

We asked the elite panel of judges comprising USA, EU, Canada, Australia etc.

"Nop. These are fair killings. By all means these chaps are murderers. They have killed thousands. So it is fair. Therefore, we do not consider the killing of Gaddafi as a war crime"

"Gaddafi?"

We were confused.

"We're not talking about Gaddafi killing. We're talking about the killing of Tamil Tiger leadership, whom you allege to have come out to surrender, after sacrificing thousands, including kids in forced conscription, as cannon-fodder."

The communication channel went blank.
