Even though you were attacked here in Canada long time ago for no reason and for the benifits of enemy, I rally a ppereciate you for your dedication to bring truth outside the world. Not only Rajani but also a lots of people like principal Anandarajah former member of parliament Tharmalingam Prof G.T.K. Thambaiah and I can list a lot of people were assissinated for no reson and saying fighting for freedom. Anyway I would like to thank you for writing about Rajaini and gave an oppourtinity to read about her after long long time.

Dear Mr Jeyraj
I always read your articles because of your unbiase frank opinions on the conflict in our country. So far I was not fortunate enough to see this the film but I am eagerly waiting for it.

Truth is the first victim in any war. Rajani was killed because she had the guts to speakout. Any independent thinker will not be tolerated. It’s very sad, the only choice for the tamils seems to be the one between the frying pan and the fire itself. Any idiot can fire a gun. But only people like Rajani & Hoole who can make people think.

Dear Mr. Jeyraj: Your article about Rajini Thiranagama, the one I read just now, and the one I read last year, bring tears to my eyes. I did not know Ms. Thiranagama personally, but in the capacity of what I did before, I closely monitored her career along with other human rights, democracy, rule of law, terrorism including state terrorism, the ‘fate of democracy’ during that time and after. Ms. Rajini Thiranagama’s voice was silenced the way other voices of the Tamil dissidents have been silenced in recent times. My only wish, while shedding tears for Ms. Thiranagama, is the restoration of total human rights to the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka which is being supresssed by the self-appointed ’sole representative of the Tamil people’. The plight of the Tamil dissident voice is much greater than the socio-economic disabilities of the poor Sinhalese.

It is very very sad to see young open mind woman from our scociaty stand against what is wrong to the scociaty. She act in harmony when men like me are not looking at that strugalle.
But her killers still do not have any guts to come out say why we killed her. Thas shame but her mane will be with for ever and remind to all how she scrified her wonderful life to make our place much better

Saw the film in London yesterday. Could not hold back my tears. And there were many eyes with tears. Excelent piece of cinematic work. We should commend all who involved for their talent as well as their bravery. Thanks.
