This is the story of Sri Lanka. The country, not so far from
us, and I am not writing any fiction story hereby!

| Ragihar |
Jan, 2. 2006 is the date. Ragihar, a young guy was on the
beach, near their home with his friends. All of sudden, his father heard bomb
blast near the beach. Two of his brother returned back to home immediately,
Ragihar did not. Within few minutes, Dr Manoharan, his father heard his son
shouting 'Daddy'. His father rushed to the scene,but the navy guards did not
allow him to enter into the pace. They rather turned the lights off, where he
heard voices in Tamil crying asking for help!
Despite of his arguing, the guards did not let him in, and
suddenly gunfire flared thereby. Later they said, 'Five civilians are dead and
two are injured'....When he entered into the place, he saw first body of his
son with five gunshot wounds. Manoharan was rather asked to sign the statement
saying that his son belonged to Tamil Tigers and was fighting for the Tigers.
He refused.
Later, the Government claimed that his son and his friends
were killed in a grenade attack. Ever since, he took it as a challenge to the
authorities. He had been recieving threats time and again. The family had to
leave Sri Lanka as well.

The petention is closed, Dr M is about to deliver 47,545
signatures to the UN asking Sri Lanka to tell truth about his son's death.
This is not my request here to sign petition, rather share
it as much as you can. Let all your world know, how Human Rights is violated.
It is all his request to the Sri Lankan Government to tell truth!!
Thank you Amnesty International, Thank you my friend Jim
McDonald for giving me the opportunity to blog it!!
