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

he United Nations Committee against Torture says that secret detention centres are in existence in Sri Lanka.
The 47th Session of the CAT met in Geneva on Tuesday with the Sri Lankan Delegation where Sri Lanka's commitment to upholding rights was severely questioned.
Several committee members accused the Sri Lankan government of not providing detailed information requested in advance.
She said that the allegation on 'secret detention centres' suggests the need for an independent investigation.
"Sri Lanka Army and affiliated Para military groups have run and made possible to run secret facilities which torture and extra judicial killings, have it is claimed, perpetrated" she said.
She said that Amnesty International had cited 7 torture detention sites in northern Sri Lanka; five in Vavuniya and two in Mullaitivu.
Poonthottam Maha Vidyalaya, 211 Brigade headquarters, Vallikulam Maha Vidyalaya, the PLOTE paramilitary detention centre and Dharmapuram as five camps in Vavuniya while two camps were named from Mullaitheevu.
Miss Gaer said that there are allegedly five compounds in Dharmapuram detaining more than 700 men and women in abandoned buildings and houses, holding 80 top levels LTTE people and 300 civilian supporters.
The UN Working Group on Disappearances has identified Sri Lanka as having the second largest most number of disappearance cases in the world, she informed the session.
"While many of these cases have been clarified there are more than 5,000 that haven't been" states Miss Felice Gaer.
