message: A request to Ruchiraw and snowolfd4, you are both concerned about the POV of this article. How about expanding the section about compensation and prosecution section so that this will be a balance article ?RaveenS 15:17, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Prosecutions and compensations 

message: Let's discuss one at a time, term political prisoners. It should stay because if you kill political prisoners then you killed political prisoners. It is a fact, no amount of sugar coating it will make it look like you killed criminals. See quote July 83 saw the massacre of 53 political prisoners at Welikada Prison, who were brutally done to death in two days of violence on 25 July and 27 July, 1983. Kuttimani appointed as Member of Parliament, while in prison, was amongst the 53 who met with gruesome death inside the prison.  source. The source is an editorial from a state oned daily. No if's or buts about it.
: How can you state that the 53 people killed were "political" prisoners. Please cite that fact, or else leave it as the more neutral "prisoners". I am changing it back to "prisoners".
::Please see Welikada prison massacre through the blue linked articls, it is already cited, and I have gprovided again in the talk page the same citation. Thanks RaveenS 20:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

"The violence was vicious and bloody. But what distinguished it from many other communal Asian riots was the way that the mob singled out specific business premises. In street after street in Colombo groups of rioters hit only at shops and factories, as well as homes owned by Tamils. Their careful selectivity is apprarent now. In each street individual business premises were burnt down while others alongside stand unscathed. Troops and police (almost exclusively Sinhalese) either joined the rioters or stood idly by.The events were so well organised no one doubts that there was a master list of targets." 
Financial Times, 12 August 1983
A 28 year old housewife, who returned from a Sri Lanka holiday with her husband and two daughters said the huts Tamils lived had been 'cleanly burned out', the arsonists evidently being anxious to ensure that no Sinhalese property was damaged.
Hindu, 29 July 1983
The rioters seeking out Tamil homes and burning them had a particularly detailed knowledge of who lived where and who owned what. 
The Times, 8 August 1983
"Motorists were dragged from their cars to be stoned and beaten with sticks... Others were cut down with knives and axes."
Daily Telegraph, 26 July 1983
"Mobs of Sinhala youth rampaged through the streets, ransacking homes, shops and offices, looting them and setting them ablaze, as they sought out members of the Tamil ethnic minority."
Daily Telegraph 26 July 1983
"In Pettah, the old commercial heart of the city, row after row of sari boutiques, electronic dealers, rice sellers, car parts stores, lie shattered and scarred... Government officials yesterday estimated 20,000 businesses had been attacked in the city"
The Guardian 28 July 1983

message: I don't see any sources for this number coming from anywhere other than Tamil separatist movements. The offical government figure at the time of the incident was around ~ 350. http://www.blackjuly83.com/Library_New.htm That seems about right. HumanFrailty (talk) 05:06, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
