Sri Lanka It's Happening

May 12, 2008

The terrorist has won the election to the eastern provincial council by preventing thousands of people from casting their votes. He had the help of the government and enjoyed police protection while he and his fellow terrorists intimidated opposing candidates.

Other candidates were not allowed to hold meetings while the terrorists candiates were allowed to campaign even on the election day when it was illegal to do so. But that's the least serious of their illegal actions of that date. Chasing voters away from the polling booths, stuffing ballot boxes and beating up all those who opposed them are surely more serious.

Before the election the government moved nearly all the ministers and their goons to the province. Abductions were said to be common place. Thuggery more so and deception order of the day.

Countless bulldozers were moved to the province supposedly to rebuild roads they will now all move back to the projects that they were asigned to earlier. Lampposts have also been moved for rural electrification schemes which never come to light. The posts will be moved again when the next province holds it's election.

Thus some of the voters who weren't prevented from voting did indeed vote for the government sponsered terrorist. They were hoodwinked.
