[b]Sri Lanka Police continues questioning the linchpin in Kadirgamar’s killing.[/b]
[b]Colombo, 13 October, (Asiantribune.com):[/b] The Crime Division Police of Sri Lanka continues with the questioning of Charles Gnanakone, a businessman and the resident of Australia, the alleged linchpin in the murder of former Foreign Affairs Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar, who was arrested on 10 October and held by the Colombo Crime Division, despite report emerging that he is taken sick and the police are arranging for his medical treatment.
The millionaire Sri Lankan businessman was arrested on 10 October, in a house in Nikape, Dehiwala, and was taken for questioning around 1.40 a.m. by a team from the army’s Operations Command, on receiving information that there were some terrorists hiding in a safe house in Nikape.
According to Brigadier Witharanage, on a tip off as Tamil terrorists are hiding in a house owned by Mrs. Joseph Soba, at 36 Nikape Road, Nedimal, Dehiwela, a special unit of the army entered the house and searched for suspects and they found Charles Gnanakone, wanted by the police, but not any the other terrorists, purportedly staying in the house. After interrogation by the Army, Brig Witharanage said that Charles was immediately taken away by the men from the Operations Command and handed over to Dehiwala police. Later, he had been handed over to the Colombo Crime Division (CCD) by the Dehiwala police.

Smartway;
Do you honestly think Charlie was hospitalised due to police torture as Fiji described?

Dear "lankainsider",
Your statement, "This is the social un-just we need to address. When somebody from the rich gets arrested (which is rare) somehow they manage to get around the prison and land in hospitals. This is regardless of you being a Sinhala or Tamil but depends on how well connected you are. Ganakone having the same ‘previlage’ just proves that the real problem is not the ethnicity" is true to a certain extent. We have [b]social injustices [/b]in our country in addition to the [b]ethnic injustices.[/b]
[b]Charles [/b]is [b]advantaged [/b]from the social injustices point, but [b]disadvantaged[/b] from ethnic injustices point. [b]So, there is a good chance that he could be framed, specially with the prevailing political climate in the south.[/b]
Ratwatte is advantaged from bot social injustices point and ethnic injustices point. [b]There is no way you can bring Ratwatte to justice for his crimes against humanity[/b].
That is why, I suggested in one of my earlier posts assuming JVP was fighting againt social injustices, that Sinhalese and Tamils should partner in changing the constituition to bring equal rights to all citizens.

Fiji;
Australian high commission has sent an official to see Mr Ganakone and if there was any mis-treatment (let alone torture) they would act appropriately.
Fiji, Mr Ganakone is in the hospital because he has the right clout to influence the police and the system. That’s what they do in SriLanka. Remember what Ratwatte,SB Dissanaike, Tilanga Sumatipala did once they were in custody. They pull the right strings and stayed in the hospital instead of in the prison.
This is the social un-just we need to address. When somebody from the rich gets arrested (which is rare) somehow they manage to get around the prison and land in hospitals. This is regardless of you being a Sinhala or Tamil but depends on how well connected you are. Ganakone having the same ‘previlage’ just proves that the real problem is not the ethnicity.
After your post I thought ‘Smartway’s following comment should be brought to your attention.
Quote Smartway {{. ……. But in the process, we are going to discredit all the other honest Tamil writers, who are struggling to nourish the Tamil's legitimate struggle day and night, not only in Asian Tribune but also in other news media all over the world.
Therefore, we see a fabricated storey, we should put a comment (Eg, Asoka Weerasinge from Canada Style reporting) to let the international community that this storey is a manufactured storey to discredit the Tamil struggle or LTTE or both.}}
It is clear your intention was to mislead the ‘international Community’ by implicating Mr Ganakone’s hospital stay is due to police torture and then justify LTTE killings. But we, who are in Sri Lanka know the ground reality.
How about listning to Mr Smartway for once and stop fabricating stories. You will be doing a favour for the Tamil cause.

fiji:
BRITAIN is part of EU.
If EU is fair and work for the welfare of the world, at least the countries that they exploited heavily, BRITAIN should deport all the LTTEers operating in BRITAIN AND FRANCE.
GANAKONE TORTURED
Its open season on tamils again. How many innocents have been brutally murdered beacuse some idiot sees a kottiya just because that person does not speak his language. He was arrested only yesterday but he is already in the hospital as sick a person.
Mr Ganakone is lucky because he is a rsident of Australia so even though he is tortured his is taken to the hospital otherwise he would have been muredred and his body burned beyond recognition. This is what they did to Krishanthi and scores of other people who simply vanished in thin air after being arrested by these facists. EU take note, your hands are dripping with innocent blood.

[b]In the US and Canada there are people held under possible terrorist links without trial or freedom to communicate with outside. Why should we ever give any more than that to this suspect. Keep him until he cracks and give us more on other terror activities too.[/b]

This report carries a fine blend of fiction & facts designed to mislead non-Tamils.
