This despicable man, Rayappu Joseph, is a Racist Separatist supporter of Eeelamist Terrorists posing as a Catholic Priest. He is a SERIAL TRAITOR to his Motherland, with a LONG RECORD of giving aid and comfort to Terrorists and Separatists.
Rayappu Joseph should be DEFROCKED & DISOWNED by the Catholic Church of Sri Lanka, if the Catholic Church is to retain its position as a Patriotic Religious Organization. Do it now, before the Catholic Church is tarred and feeathered with the same brush!
The Government of Sri Lanka should now bring TREASON charges against this man for ALL OF HIS CRIMES in support of the Terrorist Eelamists committed over the last 30 years. MAKE an EXAMPLE of this TRAITOR hiding behind priestly robes!

The Bishop of Mannar, Mgr Rayappu Joseph has called for an international investigation to ascertain the truth about alleged war crimes. He said: "Given that most of the Tamils in the north and east of the country no longer have confidence in an internal process. This will contribute to reconciliation".
Bishop Rayappu Joseph, pointed out that many priests, lawyers, journalists and activists who have tried to cooperate with the institutions on the topic of "war crimes" have been threatened and intimidated. "On many occasions, the police and the Commission for Human Rights have even refused to accept complaints", he said.
"Thousands of cases of human rights violations, sexual abuse, murder, disappearances, extrajudicial killings remain unpunished".
ecause of this position taken - while the Sri Lankan government categorically rejects the idea of an international investigation - the Bishop has been labelled in some circles as "a political activist", but Mgr Rayappu replies: "There are too many controversial issues in Sri Lanka: people who disappear, others arrested and illegally detained, tortured or killed in prison. I hug, talk and deal with the aspirations of the faithful who live in my diocese and, more generally , throughout Sri Lanka. For me it is a human, spiritual and religious mission".
He said: "The people of the North and East still live in fear. The women live in fear of being raped. Others live in fear that the military will seize their lands. Many who are in prison live in fear of being tortured. The common people fear the high level of military presence. And all those who criticize the government, including representatives of many churches, live in fear and insecurity".
The Bishop asks: "What need is there to maintain such a high number of armed forces in the North and East of the island? Why can’t one completely restore the civil administration in those areas, such as in the rest of the country?".
Mgr. Rayppu denounces "the colonization sponsored by the state in the Tamil areas", to create an electoral imbalance and progressively eliminate the language, the culture and customs of a people.According to the Bishop, "In Sri Lanka we have a lot to learn from South Africa. There, the majority was dominated by the minority; in Sri Lanka there is a majority that dominates a minority. In Sri Lanka, the government, which is accused of war crimes and massive violations of human rights, is still in power, and is reluctant to committing itself in genuine dialogue".
