Dear Dr.Abeysena,

What do you want us to do? Observe silently the inhuman treatment taking place at the Forced Detention Camps (FDC) under the name of provision of health services and security? I think this is time for us (the medical professionals) to discuss this more openly without any racial feelings. I hope you are aware of what is realy happening at the FDC if not please watch the channel 4 and enlighten yourself. (Click here)

Anyway IC will not interfere just because somebody vote at CNN.

Await you kind response (except the white van reaction)

Thank you

Murali
