WE DID IT!! JUSTICE IS FINALLY WITHIN OUR REACH BECAUSE THE AUTHORITIES HAVE OFFICIALLY COMMITTED TO THE EXTRADITION PROCESS!! I AM ABSOLUTELY THRILLED THAT OUR PERSISTENCE PAID OFF AND WE WILL BE WATCHING EVERY SINGLE STEP CLOSELY UNTIL SHE IS BROUGHT TO TRIAL!!
PETITION to His Excellency the President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We , the Sri Lankan expatriates in Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East and in Europe urge His Excellency the President and his Government to seek the extradition of Mrs Adele Balasingham from the United Kingdom and put her on trial in Sri Lanka for the terrorist activity and crimes against humanity spanning three decades.
Since the military defeat in May 2009, the LTTE has used its vast financial resources in Britain ,Canada , the USA, Europe and Australia to systematically undermine and destabilize the Sri Lankan Government with allegations of war crimes and ongoing human rights abuses.They have marshaled influential academics, journalists and politicians to push their separatist barrow while the Sri Lankan Government merely points to the very significant advances and development schemes in getting hundreds of thousands of Tamils rehabilitated, housed and restoring their freedom of franchise in recent Provincial Council elections in the north of the country.
The commendable policy of restorative justice, together with the giant strides to bring and maintain the palpable peace in the country ,has not gained much traction among the Western governments , the Western media and the Western politicians.They construe this charitable policy as a sign of weakness og Sri Lanka.
For their own parochial purposes many Western politicians have yielded to be brow-beaten by their pro-LTTE constituents. They dance to the tune of their LTTE pipers and censure Sri Lanka relentlessly at crucial times as Independence Day and Victory Day celebrations. sporting events overseas and in international fora and the media.
The biggest perpetrators of the 35 year conflict , the LTTE rumps of the overseas Tamils posing as human rights campaigners, are now engaged in waging war against Sri Lanka with relentless false propaganda offensive from their comfortable domiciles in the West.
One of the MAIN TERRORIST CRIMINALS IS ADELE BALASINGHAM widow of the LTTE warlord Anton Balasingham , a former employee of British High Commission in Colombo, who is now hiding in London. Adela Balasingham was instrumental in recruiting and training thousands of child soldiers and women suicide bombers to sacrifice their lives for a terrorist cause.There is a huge dossier of evidence of her crimes and terrorist activity.
It is imperative that notwithstanding Sri Lanka's policy of restorative justice, Adele Balasingham be extradited and brought to Sri Lanka and put on trial for the atrocities committed and been associated with.
Besides,bringing some justice to thousands of her victims and their families , Adele Balasingham extradition and trial will serve as a salutary warning to the Western governments that Sri Lanka's tolerance of threats and the disproportional focus on alleged human rights violations and war crimes is not infinite while they continue to shelter terrorists and war criminals on their shores.
It will also compel the Western media to focus on the LTTE atrocities over three decades rather than allegations of so called Sri Lanka 's war crimes in the last stages of the war.
Balasingham's extradition and trial will also serve notice to the members of organizations such as Global Tamil Forum and Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam and other LTTE rumps that a similar fate could await them
We pray that YOUR EXCELLENCY will heed this petition.
Thanking you

just getting girls to commit suicide for her cause is suicide by proxy. BBC documentary has documented her garlanding suicide cadres with capsules of cyanide. that is good enough evidence to bring her to justice!

Adele should be held accountable for making innocent women into murderous. In a conservative Tamil society where women were deeply respected, she made them into a disposable commodity with a bomb around their waist instead of a thali round their necks! Shame on you Adele.

She brainwashed young Tamil women to carry out cruel acts of violence against innocent civilians and against themselves.by using themselves as human bombs. Why the govt. of David Cameron provides haven for such criminals while he preaches to the Sri Lankan Govt. is indefensible.

Western governments have given refuge to many war criminal after world war 2 and got them to do their 'dirty work. Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet was one such criminal Britain protected. Adele should be brought to Sri Lanka and tried for her crimes.

Australia has sent people to jail for undergoing training with terrorists, why not this woman? Fair Justice for everyone...She trained LTTE child soldiers and put cynide capsules around their necks. She should be prosecuted in SL.

A criminal against the humanity who forced children in to armd conflict in Sri Lanka. Civilized world should not leave this woman to go free. This evil must be tried in Sri Lanka and justice is long awaited for the parents whom children were abducted and sent to the front.
