Callum Macrae who directed the notorious “No Fire Zone” video for Channel 4 said he could sleep only on the day Mahinda Rajapaksa and other “war criminals” are brought before a War Crimes Tribunal
He was addressing a Tamil Cultural Meeting in Canada organised by the Canadian Tamil Centre, an LTTE front. S. Sridharan who represented Sri Lanka responded to Macrae, “The day is not far off”. A large number of LTTE activists from many parts of the globe had arrived in Canada to participate in the event.
Macrae was taken into custody in Malaysia when he attempted to launch his film, “No Fire Zone” recently. Later he had arrived in Canada. Global Tamil Forum (GTF) Chief Rev. S.T. Emmanuel, an LTTE leader domiciled in the UK was a special guest. It was reported that Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa too had come in for much criticism.
The self-styled independent media activist Macrae’s true colours became self-evident from his lectures and films tainted with the LTTE trademark.
Meanwhile, Mangala Samaraweera in a lengthy letter to the Commonwealth representatives has raised war crime charges.
