Pussy Cat Jump out the Amnesty International's Bag

Amnesty International started new campaign call play by the rules at Cricket World cup this year. We all know the story. Basically the face intention of this campaign is force government and Terrorist groups to fight by the rules, like a nice cricket game in a sunny day. First I thought how wonderful Amnesty International is. That is exactly what I wanted to see. I want terrorist groups to give up their weapons and play it like cricket - inside the parliament according the rule call Democracy.

But for my disappointment I found out that is not what AI is aimed for. IA wanted us to keep on killing each other and they want to monitor how good we slaughter ourselves. Then I thought what stupid idea it is. The Amnesty International I admired the most really after something so senseless? They have no regards for democracy?

Cricket is the biggest event we all can sit down together and drink beer and scream at TV screen regardless of tribes, religion or political views. Except weather, cricket is the only topic we all can talk comfortably when War is the all time biggest news in Sri Lanka. When we Sri Lankans crave for something for us to be united around, How stupid AI jump in and divide Cricket fans are likes?

But today I found out why! A pussy cat jumped out the AI's bag.
"I hope in a similar fashion the campaign started by Amnesty International will evolve into an international sports boycott against the Sri Lankan cricket team," terrorist's spokeswoman Selvy Navaruban told AFP today.
Now finally it makes sense to me. Amnesty International is not as stupid as I thought after all. They were just working for terrorists this time. I hope AI will utilize funds they received from LTTE for good cause. I have no ill feeling against Amnesty International by the way. Every one allowed to make mistakes once in a while.

LTTE other hand been the most brilliant terrorist group ever and the head-master of the word terrorist school, they make brilliant a move this time. They bombed Central Bank, Air Port, harbors, commander-in-chiefs, but this time they went beyond material destructions. Now they are after our cricket team in international level. How can I not amaze by the brilliant tactics LTTE make all the time? Destroy Sri Lanka's pride-and-joy instead materials, and hire the world's best Organizations to work for them? Aren't LTTE is the best terrorist group ever or not?

Selvy is the worst abuser of human rights. She was the dreaded head of the Birds of freedom wing and has murdered so many people. How dare she talk about Human rights.. this appointment of Selvy shows the duplicity of the LTTE yet again.

Sri Lanka is lucky to have internet freedom. There are some countries that do not have this luxury. Support people in these countries and Sign Amnesty International's petition for Internet freedom here:
