Killing of LTTE chief Velupillai Prabakaran’s son


A young boy sits looking distressed, like a child who has been lost in a supermarket. He has been given a biscuit or some kind of snack.

 In the second photograph, he is looking anxiously up, as though hoping to see someone he recognises.

The boy is Balachandran Prabakaran, the 12-year-old son of Tamil Tiger leader Velupillai Prabakaran. 

The photographs form part of the new evidence in the forthcoming feature documentary “No War Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka,” the culmination of three years of research which will be shown for the first time next month in Geneva, to coincide with the U.N. Human Rights Council meeting

The photographs tell a chilling story -
Balachandran Prabakaran has been captured and is being held in a sandbag bunker, apparently guarded by a Sri Lankan Army soldier. In less than two hours he will be taken, executed in cold blood — and then photographed again
The photos which digital image analysis indicates were taken with the same camera, we can see he has been shot five times in the chest
