No Fire Zone Sinhala version
Welcome to the Sinhala language version of No Fire Zone.
For many years the government of President Rajapaksa systematically restricted the freedom of the press. Now the people of Sri Lanka have chosen a different government – a government which has declared its commitment to a free press.Under the last regime the truth about what happened at the end of the terrible war in Sri Lanka was denied to the vast majority of people in Sri Lanka. Now they can watch this Sinhala translation of the film and make up their own minds.
We offer this translation in the hope it will help inform a national discussion in Sri Lanka about the best way forward. We believe the vast majority of people in Sri Lanka, from all communities, want to know the truth and end impunity – and they want to find a peaceful, democratic alternative to the terrible bloodshed of the last decades.
Only with justice can come reconciliation and political solutions for long-standing injustices that will ensure the democratic rights of all the communities of this island, and allow them to live peacefully.Please watch this film.
Please encourage your friends to watch it. Feel free to share it, download it and even copy it onto DVDs for wider distribution

US reiterates call for an investigation on Sri Lanka's allegations of war crimes
The United States Monday reiterated its call for an investigation on the allegations of war crimes made against Sri Lanka in the report prepared by the United Nations Panel of Experts and in a documentary aired by a British television station.
In response to a media query at Monday's press briefing the U.S. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said the U.S. is deeply concerned about credible allegations of violations of international humanitarian law and human rights in Sri Lanka.
"As we've stated, we support a full accounting of and accountability for those who engage in acts that violated international human rights in Sri Lanka," the spokesperson said.
"Assistant Secretary Blake and other senior officials have regularly raised these concerns," she added.
Ms. Nuland said the U.S. Personnel have seen the Channel 4 documentary and it includes "some very disturbing images".
The Sri Lankan government has said that its own Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission appointed by President Mahinda Rajapaksa would investigate the alleged crimes shown by Channel 4 in its documentary called " Sri Lanka's Killing Fields" and appropriate action would be taken if found true.
However, the government rejected the video as a complete fabrication by the Channel 4 in collusion with the pro-LTTE Tamil diaspora in Britain.
