SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT KILLING OVER A HUNDRED CIVILIANS EVERY DAY, TGOVERNMENT USES BANNED GASSES ON CIVILIANS.




More than 322 Tamil civilians were killed and 300 severely injured on Thursday in side the safe zone in Mullaitivu district in Northern Sri Lanka due to heavy gun fire and rocket attacks by Sri Lankan armed forces.

Sri Lankan forces attempted to move forward towards safety zone and fired uncounted bullets towards innocent civilians from early morning 5.00 AM to 6.00 PM on Thursday. The worst ever carnage too 322 innocent lives within an hour.

Safe zones located at Ampalavanpokkanai , Idaikkadu and Mathalan were targeted in the attack. Dead bodies are scattered everywhere. No one to take even injured civilians for treatment. Since these areas are densely packed, even a small blast creates heavy causalities said the reporter today. Civilians in safety zones are deeply worried about chemical attacks and fear psychosis affecting them. Even smokes from fire make them panic, thinking it as chemical gas attack from Sri Lankan forces, reporter further stated.

It is to be noted that Sri Lanka previously said they are very cautious about civilian casualties and never fire in to safe zone. This put the credibility of Sri Lanka on the dock.
