Its a similar justice sinhalese mete out to tamils in sri lanka.
MP killed inside church at a christmas mass
Killing of 17 aid workers
killing of several MPs
the list is endless. Atleast sinhalese will know what their justice system does to tamils.
Most of the troubles in sri lanka was created by the tamil people.They were living with other citizen in Sri lanka peacefully.Because of a uneducated person who brain washed tamil civilians, a war started 1983 June with Sri Lankan government.Not with Sinhalese.
Fortunately, that war comes to the end.Now mjority of tamil civilians also against to the LTTE.Because they couldn't get the freedom as LTTE promised and they knows,dreams of LTTE never come true.
** Don't forget this.Tamil terrorists still killing sinhalese(Using suicide bombers).But SL army killing only terrorosts. **
Lets congradulate to the future of Sri Lanka.

Saudi Arabia has a most one sided and biased judiciary system. Whether these Sri Lankans are truly guilty or not, it is obvious that there was no impartial hearing procedure took place.
It is high time to the Saudi citizens to topple this cruel regime and have a democratic government now.
