A new documentary shot in Sri Lanka, to be aired on Channel 4 this week, shows a 12-year-old lying dead with five bullet holes in his chest.
His name is Balachandran Prabhakaran, and he is the son of the LTTE leader, Vellupillai Prabhakaran. He has been executed in cold blood,"said the documentary's maker, Callum Macrae, in an interview to the Independent newspaper. In the same paper, Mr Macrae says the video "seems to have been shot [as] a grotesque trophy video by Sri Lankan forces."
Different UK papers say the Sri Lankan High Commission in London has "categorically rejected the malicious allegations" of the 60-minute documentary titled Sri Lanka's Killing Fields: War Crimes Unpunished.
The Daily Mail says,"The programme has also obtained unofficial footage, which suggests that his father Velupillai sustained a massive head wound-when his body was shown on television his head was covered by a rag. Separate stills see him first in uniform, then stripped naked and finally smeared in mud."

A US resolution at the United Nations Human Rights Council session in Geneva  has asked for an inquiry into human rights violations and the execution of civilians by Sri Lankan soldiers.  India's vote on the resolution will be closely watched.
Last year, Channel 4 aired a documentary titled Sri Lanka's Killing Fields that highlighted alleged war crimes by the Sri Lankan government as it extinguished the rebel Tigers.
