English transcript of Tamil interview – M. Faaris
Part 1: The Initial Contact and Secret Entry into Switzerland
** “My name is Mohamed Haris. I come to Colombo once every three months from Switzerland. Yes, I am a Sri Lankan, but I live in Switzerland and visit Colombo every few months. During one of those visits to Sri Lanka, I happened to meet you as well.”
** “To be honest, as long as I was living in Sri Lanka, I didn’t know who Azath Maulana was. I had only heard of him. I knew he was the under-secretary and media spokesperson for Pillayan. Since I wasn’t actively involved in politics at that time, I had only heard his name; I had never met him face-to-face or spoken to him. Even after the Easter Sunday bombings, I had absolutely no connection with him.”
** “Then, in January 2022, he called my phone. A specific number kept appearing on my WhatsApp four or five times. Normally, I don’t answer calls from unknown numbers. But since it was ringing repeatedly, I thought, ‘Let’s see who this is,’ and I picked up. I asked who it was, and he replied, ‘I am Azath Maulana speaking.'”
** “At that exact moment, the name Azath Maulana didn’t immediately register in my mind. So I asked him, ‘Are you Zaheer Maulana or Ali Zahir Maulana?’ He replied, ‘No, I am Azath Maulana, Pillayan’s secretary.’ I was quite surprised. I asked him, ‘Why are you suddenly calling me?’ He said, ‘I need a favor from you, will you help me?’ I told him, ‘If it’s something I am capable of doing, I will. But first, who gave you my number?’ He told me, ‘A very important person gave it to me—a prominent politician who is closely connected to you. I will come there and tell you exactly who it is.'”
** “I asked him what the matter was. He said, ‘I need to claim asylum. Will you help me with that?’ I told him, ‘If you want to claim asylum, there must be a valid reason for it. You can only get it if you are facing a direct life threat from the Sri Lankan state armed forces.’ He said, ‘No, no, I have a major conflict with Pillayan, and I am going to seek asylum.’ I replied, ‘Alright, come over, and we can sit down and discuss these things.'”
** “That initial conversation was just the first day. Our communication continued for about 10 days until he finally arrived. It was around the 2nd of February when he arrived. Actually, he landed in France first. During those 10 days of conversations before his arrival, I asked him, ‘Do you have a Swiss visa to enter Switzerland?’ He said no. Then I asked, ‘Did you call the Swiss Embassy to ask for asylum?’ He then began explaining his story.”
Part 2: Fleeing Sri Lanka via India and France
** “He told me the whole story over those 10 days. He said he had a falling out with Pillayan. When I asked what it was about, he said there were numerous issues. He told me, ‘As soon as the conflict with him started, I left for India because I had a one-year Indian visa that I frequently used. I went to the Swiss Embassy in India and asked for asylum.’ They told him, ‘Since there is a Swiss Embassy inside Sri Lanka, you should go back and ask there.’ When he went to inquire about that path, he found out that the old system of granting embassy asylum inside the home country had been canceled. They told him, ‘You must physically go to Switzerland and apply; they will grant asylum there.'”
** “So I asked him, ‘Do you have a visa for Switzerland now?’ He said he had applied for a Swiss visa but they had rejected it, telling him to get a Schengen visa from somewhere else instead. I asked, ‘What visa do you hold right now?’ He told me he had a visa issued by the French Embassy. When I asked how he managed to get it, he said, ‘I paid 2 million rupees (20 Lakhs) to secure it.’ I told him, ‘WhatsApp me a copy of that visa. It needs to be a valid Schengen visa for you to enter Switzerland; if it’s strictly limited to France, you won’t be allowed into Swiss territory.’ He WhatsApped it to me, and when I checked, it was indeed a standard Schengen visa. I told him, ‘It’s a Schengen visa, you can enter without an issue. Book your ticket and come.'”
** “He told me that the people advising him in Sri Lanka had told him: ‘Land in France, travel toward Switzerland, but try to slip inside without passing through the official border checkpoints.’ He said, ‘That’s why I am asking for your help. Will you come and personally pick me up?’ I replied, ‘That’s fine, let’s focus on you getting here first. Once you arrive, we can handle the pickup. Furthermore, if you want to claim asylum, there are formal legal firms and established teams of lawyers in Switzerland. I can introduce you to them, that is the extent of the help I can provide.'”
** “He traveled directly from Sri Lanka to France via Qatar Airways, landing at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. Myself and another friend drove all the way from Switzerland to Paris in a car to pick him up and bring him back. Upon arriving, he told me, ‘I cannot use my own identity cards or credit cards here. You know about Pillayan—he has a lot of influence and supporters inside France. If I use my cards, because I am a person linked to government elements, they will easily track my location. Please handle the expenses using your cards, and I will settle the payments.’ He used my credit card to book hotel rooms and cover expenses, but he settled everything. He had brought about $70,000 USD in cash with him when he arrived, so he paid for everything. There were no financial issues there.”
Part 3: The Swiss Legal Process and International Interference
** “However, upon his arrival, agents from the Indian intelligence agency (RAW) immediately began tracking him. I will explain those specific details as we get to that part of the timeline.”
** “When he arrived here, he actually came with a specific agenda. I asked him, ‘Since your French visa is perfectly fine, why don’t you just apply for asylum in France?’ He answered, ‘No, no. France is heavily influenced by Pillayan’s network. A lot of his former cadres and associates live there. In fact, I have personally visited France with Pillayan multiple times in the past, so I know exactly how deep his influence goes there.'”
** “Then he openly confessed something to me. He said, ‘To be completely blunt, there is a pro-American element involved. I don’t want to explicitly name him, but he is a prominent journalist for the Daily Mirror. He is the one who initially established contact between me and the American Embassy.’ Maulana told me that they had arranged legal counsel and a team of lawyers for him. However, he admitted, ‘I have some doubts about whether they will actually protect me, because they simply told me to leave the country but they didn’t actively help me secure a visa.’ I told him, ‘They won’t directly step in to help you with that. They will never openly expose their faces or meddle directly in visa operations. They will never tell the Swiss Embassy to hand you a visa. If you manage to get there on your own, the Swiss Embassy will treat you according to standard protocol; they won’t grant special visas even if Saddam Hussein asked.’ That was why he decided to come directly to Switzerland.”
** “He told me he had high-level contacts, specifically naming Meenakshi Ganguly (the South Asia Director for Human Rights Watch) and a person named Chris (from Nonviolent Peaceforce). He claimed these types of figures were in his network. Yet, for the first ten days after his arrival, none of those contacts materialized or reached out to him. So he told me, ‘Let’s go ahead and submit the asylum papers using your legal team.'”
** “I took him to meet a legal team I knew, where a Tamil gentleman was the chief legal adviser. When this adviser heard the details of the case, he became highly interested. But he noted, ‘I cannot handle this entirely on my own. I need to consult my senior lawyers. Furthermore, even though you are explaining this in Tamil, the official language of the legal system here is German. Everything must be accurately recorded, translated into fluent German, and submitted in writing.’ He then introduced us to another Tamil man living in Germany who was completely fluent in the language. He described him as a leftist, saying, ‘We are leftists who have historically opposed the LTTE. We will help you.’ He also told Maulana that I had been working with them for a very long time in assisting asylum seekers. Following this, plans were made to take Maulana to Germany, but then the Swiss police intervened to check his visa. A lot of complications arose.”
Part 4: The Legal Criteria for Asylum and the Secret Files
** “When we went deep into the case, the legal team meticulously questioned him to draft the application. The fundamental procedure for Switzerland—or any country—to grant political asylum is that the applicant must face a verifiable threat to their life directly from the state armed forces of a UN-recognized government. Pillayan’s group is not an official state military force; it is treated as a paramilitary group operating underneath state structures. Under Swiss law, a threat from a paramilitary group alone does not automatically qualify you for asylum.”
** “When this was explained, Maulana said, ‘I also have a severe conflict with Suresh Sallay (Head of Sri Lanka’s State Intelligence Service). I will state that explicitly in the application.’ The adviser told him, ‘Okay, you can include that. I don’t have more time today, so call me over the phone to dictate the details. I will write everything down, read it back to you to verify, and finalize the report.'”
** “It was that specific legal report that was later leaked or passed on to certain intelligence networks and external actors. A journalist named Martin Schüepp (or Martin Schudisinghe) became involved. I am not entirely sure if he was a former official at the Swiss Embassy, an ambassador, or an officer, but he was operating as a journalist, and he connected with Maulana.”
** “While Maulana was staying at my house, phone calls started coming in. Martin Schüepp contacted him, stating that either the American Mission or Meenakshi Ganguly had instructed him to establish contact. Since Maulana arrived in Switzerland, he had been using a specific local SIM card. Because of how the accounts were linked, I would also receive notifications whenever a call or message came through. Once these connections were made, Maulana formally executed a Power of Attorney. He gave one Power of Attorney to the Swiss lawyer and another to our Tamil friend. In Switzerland, a legal team cannot handle your sensitive affairs unless you officially grant them Power of Attorney.”
** “While we were progressing with the asylum application, the lawyers quoted their formal fees. They said, ‘If you agree to these terms, sign here and we will officially launch the case.’ In the meantime, Martin Schüepp introduced Maulana to an alternative lawyer. I was actually the one who advanced the initial cash payment to that new lawyer. This new legal team immediately demanded a fresh Power of Attorney from Maulana. As soon as he signed it over to them, they took the detailed statement we had originally prepared and used it to officially file his asylum claim. Martin Schüepp maintained a very close relationship with him throughout this phase, managing and coordinating his movements.”
Part 5: Pillayan’s Missing Calls and Maulana’s Real Agenda
** “While this entire legal process was unfolding in Europe, Pillayan was stuck in India trying to secure a visa through the French Embassy. Martin Schüepp informed us that Pillayan had applied for a visa, and noted, ‘Pillayan is attempting to come here, which increases the danger for Maulana. What should we do?’ Martin then pulled strings to ensure the visa was blocked. The French Embassy denied the visa, and Pillayan was forced to return directly to Sri Lanka.”
** “Maulana never openly discussed this with me, but while he was staying under my roof, his phone rang constantly. Pillayan called him at least 10 to 15 times. Maulana refused to answer any of those calls. I explicitly told him, ‘Maulana, if he calls, you should answer. If you used to be close associates, just talk to him.’ Maulana replied, ‘No, if I answer, he will speak to me in extreme anger. I will get angry in return, and whatever remaining bridge exists between us will be permanently broken. It is better if we don’t speak at all right now.’ Pillayan even sent text messages saying, ‘Are you hiding my personal secretary? What are you doing?’ I don’t know if their core conflict was over properties, money, or something else, because Maulana never explicitly revealed the root cause of their fight during those calls.”
** “The truth is, Maulana’s primary goal wasn’t actually to get asylum. He came to Europe operating under a massive alternative agenda. To us, he played the part of an ordinary asylum seeker following the standard legal procedure. But before we could even finalize our legal process, he bypassed us and shifted entirely over to the lawyers provided by Martin Schüepp. Those handlers placed an absolute demand on him. They told him: ‘We will only accept and process your asylum claim if you agree to give an exclusive on-camera interview to Channel 4.'”
Part 6: The $34 Million Spy Deal & The Alleged Danish Connection
** “At the exact same time, Indian intelligence (RAW) entered the picture. I am speaking openly about this now, though I withheld specific names earlier. If required by a court of law, I will state these names under oath. Maulana openly told me, ‘A senior officer from Indian RAW contacted me. He asked how I was doing and said, “Your safety is our priority. We already know exactly where you are staying in Switzerland.”’ Maulana explained to me how they managed to track his location. The moment RAW established direct contact, Maulana visually lost his color out of sheer panic.”
** “Maulana was constantly clutching a specific bag. He would hold onto it tightly even while sleeping. It was packed with highly sensitive documents. I didn’t have any personal interest in snooping through his papers; my only intention was to provide shelter to a man who had come to me seeking refuge. But it became obvious he was executing a separate project. He told me, ‘RAW is demanding the documents I have in my possession.’ I asked him what those documents were about. He said, ‘There are numerous classified files regarding the Sri Lankan government.’ When I asked if they were connected to the Easter Sunday bombings, he admitted, ‘Yes, a portion of them are about the bombings. That is exactly what Martin Schüepp wants me to reveal on Channel 4.’ His handlers were urging him to testify before the UN, promising him immediate protection in exchange.”
** “I asked him what kind of specific deal they were offering him. He showed me a document they had sent him digitally overnight. I read it, and it outlined an extraordinary arrangement. I forwarded it to our original Tamil legal adviser via WhatsApp. The adviser reviewed it and explained: ‘They are planning to completely change your identity. Your real name, Mohamed Azad Mohamed Hanseer, will be wiped out. You and your children will be issued passports under entirely fabricated names. The Swiss government will guarantee 100% security protection. If you sign and return this document right now, your protective relocation will begin tomorrow morning.'”
** “However, before signing that agreement, Maulana pivoted because he received a massive counter-offer from India, which tied into a Danish billionaire. The legal team representing the Danish billionaire—the one who tragically lost his three children during the bombing at the Shangri-La Hotel—came to Switzerland to cut a deal with Maulana. This billionaire is extremely wealthy and has exceptionally close ties to the Danish Royal Family. His legal team, consisting of four or five lawyers, was dispatched directly to meet Maulana to buy his documents.”
** “I asked Maulana, ‘What exactly do they want from you?’ He explained, ‘He wants to know the absolute truth behind why his children were killed. His children died right on the street; they were wandering around looking for bottles of water outside the Shangri-La immediately after the blast.’ Maulana actually showed me the photos the billionaire’s team had shared with him, illustrating the immense suffering the father went through.”
** “Maulana then told me a stunning detail. He claimed that the Easter Sunday bombings were artificially accelerated and executed in a rush specifically targeting this Danish billionaire’s business interests. When I asked for the reason, he stated that the billionaire had submitted a massive commercial quotation to conduct deep-sea oil exploration research in the Gulf of Mannar. A neighboring regional superpower did not want him setting up operations there. To permanently block his entry into the region, the attacks were brought forward and executed. I told Maulana, ‘Go ahead and meet their legal team. Let’s see what they have to say.'”
** “After the meeting, Maulana came back and told me, ‘They offered me $15 million USD for the documents.’ But Maulana was simultaneously negotiating with Martin Schüepp’s network and RAW. He asked me, ‘How much money do you think I should demand?’ He wasn’t hesitant about asking for an astronomical sum. Just to throw out a massive figure as a tactic, he demanded $300 million USD. The handlers actually took his demand seriously. The next day, Maulana came back to me ecstatic and said, ‘They have officially agreed to a settlement of $34 million USD. The funds will be deposited directly into a bank account.’ The entire transaction took place over the course of a single day, and the $34 million USD was deposited into a bank account in Dubai. He went into the meeting entirely alone to finalize the transaction. Based on how the operation was executed, I am certain the team that finalized the deal was RAW.”
Part 7: The Train “Kidnapping” and Satellite Tracking
** “Once the money hit the bank account, the intelligence handlers placed an absolute condition on him: ‘You must leave Switzerland immediately. You cannot proceed with your Swiss asylum application anymore. Pack your things, we are moving you right now.’ They were fully prepared to extract him that very day. Maulana tried to stall, saying, ‘I can’t leave today, my bags and clothes are still at the house.’ The handlers snapped at him: ‘We just deposited $34 million USD into your account, and you are arguing with us over a suitcase of clothes?'”
** “Maulana frantically tried to call the senior intelligence official who had originally coordinated his contact, but the officer refused to answer. The agents on the ground told him bluntly, ‘His role in this operation is officially over. His job was solely to broker the contact. From this moment on, you deal exclusively with us. Come with us right now. We are taking you to Italy by car, where a private chartered flight is fueled and waiting to fly you directly to Mauritius.’ Maulana managed to negotiate a temporary delay, telling them he would meet them the following day just to buy himself enough time to slip away from the immediate extraction site.”
** “In the middle of this chaos, the Swiss banking official who had assisted in facilitating his accounts intervened. He explicitly warned the foreign intelligence operatives: ‘Do not attempt to pull these dangerous stunts inside Swiss territory. If you violate our laws, every single one of you will be arrested and thrown into a Swiss prison. Handle him smoothly and within legal boundaries.’ Hearing this warning from the bank official, the senior commanders of the spy team issued a digital order to their field agents: ‘Stand down for today. We will extract him tomorrow instead.'”
** “The next day, as they were moving him out, Maulana realized he was entirely trapped. He managed to covertly call me from the train, panicking: ‘They are kidnapping me! They are taking me away forcibly! Please do something to save me, don’t let them take me out of the country!’ At that time, I wasn’t deeply well-versed in emergency police protocols. I called my son out of his school; he rushed home, and together we went straight to our local regional police station.”
** “The regional police listened to our story and said, ‘This is an international matter involving cross-border movements; our local division cannot handle this. You need to immediately report this to the Provincial (Cantonal) Control Police Head office.’ That headquarters was located about 30 kilometers away from our house. We rushed there, and the moment we laid out the details of the case, the federal provincial police went on absolute high alert. They asked me, ‘Do you have his official identity card or passport with you?’ I told them no, because we hadn’t kept any of Maulana’s physical documents.”
** “I immediately called Maulana back on WhatsApp and told him, ‘The Swiss federal police are with me right now and they are demanding your identification. WhatsApp me a photo of your asylum ID card immediately!’ At that exact moment, Maulana was wearing a pair of yellow jeans. He told me via low-whisper audio, ‘The foreign agents are sitting directly in front of me and right beside me on this train car. They don’t understand Tamil. I am going to rest the card on my thigh and snap a covert photo.’ He took the picture and sent it to me. I handed the image to the Swiss police commanders.”
** “The Swiss police immediately fed his details into their federal tracking system and initiated real-time satellite surveillance. Within minutes, they pulled up a live tracking map on their monitors and showed me exactly which train he was aboard, what speed it was traveling, and its upcoming route. They told me, ‘We have identified the target. We can see the individuals sitting directly adjacent to him clearly.’ The police command realized the train was fast approaching the border. They immediately dispatched federal tactical units to intercept the train.”
** “Swiss federal police boarded the train at the very next station. They confronted the foreign agents and Maulana, telling them: ‘This cross-border transit is authorized no further. You are ordered to disembark at this platform immediately, reverse your route, and return directly to your registered residence. We are placing this individual under state protective custody.’ The intelligence team had already issued Maulana a forged Indian passport under the alias ‘Raju,’ and their finalized plan was to escort him across the border to Milan Airport in Italy to board the private charter. The Swiss police completely shattered that extraction plan. They placed him under heavy 24-hour state security.”
** “Shortly after the train interception, the Swiss federal police summoned me to their headquarters for a formal deposition. They brought in an official translator—a Tamil lady—and subjected me to an intense, grueling interrogation that lasted for over four straight hours. Everything I am telling you right now regarding his arrival, the money, the secret documents, and the spy networks was fully recorded, transcribed, and signed into the official legal records of the Swiss police. At the end of the session, the police provided me with an official emergency contact card, instructing me to notify them instantly if any further threats or suspicious figures approached us regarding Maulana.”
Part 8: Geopolitical Conspiracies and the True Masterminds
** “Following that massive incident, Maulana cut himself off from us completely and surrendered himself entirely to Martin Schüepp and his network. His handlers then orchestrated the entire public narrative. This is why I firmly believe, based on everything I witnessed firsthand, that Azath Maulana is absolutely not a clean whistleblower. He was a central, primary coordinator and an active operative inside the execution of the Easter Sunday massacres.”
** “The public is being fed a highly manufactured story, but the underlying reality is a dark, massive secret. The reason international intelligence agencies and global media networks gave Maulana such unprecedented, high-level treatment is because they knew he wasn’t just a passive observer—he was the operational brain and the coordinator on the ground for the entire attack framework.”
** “In Sri Lanka, the public narrative blame is always easily pinned onto the Rajapaksa family name. There is an old Tamil proverb about a branch that everyone uses to wipe their hands. To the entire world, the narrative is simple: the Rajapaksas destroyed the LTTE, and the international spy agencies know it. The public was shown a theater production where Sarath Fonseka was the military hero who wiped out the tigers. But anyone who actually understands deep geopolitics knows exactly which international intelligence agencies pulled the strings behind the scenes to destroy the LTTE.”
** “It is the exact same dynamic with the Easter Sunday bombings. The bombings were explicitly a highly coordinated international intelligence agenda. Anyone who analyzes the evidence deeply can clearly see that Zahran Hashim was never the true mastermind of this operation. Zahran and his immediate circle were just a radicalized, brainwashed extremist group used as disposable pawns. Zahran was fed a fundamentalist narrative: ‘Execute this Jihad, bomb these targets, and you will instantly attain paradise.’ He and his followers genuinely believed they were fighting for Islam. But the actual, overarching geopolitical blueprint behind the scenes had absolutely nothing to do with Islam.”
** “The true structural objective of the international masterminds was to forcibly destabilize the Buddhist nationalist foundation of Sri Lanka and systematically transition the island into a Western-dominated state. Look at the selection of targets: they deliberately chose Christian churches and Western luxury hotels. Why? Because if you attack a Buddhist temple, the international community dismisses it as a localized, internal ethnic skirmish and refuses to intervene. But the moment Western citizens and Christian holy sites are blown up en masse, it creates an immediate, legally justifiable gateway for Western superpowers and international human rights bodies to directly intervene in the sovereign administration of the country.”
** “Look at the profound shift in Sri Lankan society before and after the bombings. Prior to the attacks, who were the absolute cultural heroes of the nation? The Buddhist Maha Nayakas (chief prelates). What structural authority do they hold today? Virtually none. They have been reduced to a symbolic role where politicians merely visit them for a photo opportunity. The true center of gravity has been violently shifted.”
** “The global masterminds knew that as long as Buddhist nationalism remained the unassailable, dominant force in Sri Lankan politics, Western geopolitical agendas would always fail to take root. Therefore, that traditional baseline had to be systematically dismantled. They explicitly engineered the Aragalaya (the 2022 protest movement) to achieve this. Gotabaya Rajapaksa was elected by a massive majority of 6.9 million voters who trusted him blindly as the ultimate custodian of Buddhist security. The conspirators intentionally triggered an economic collapse to make the population turn on him and drive him out of power. This was a classic, textbook regime-change operation entirely funded and executed by the American Embassy. Prominent political analysts like Kumaratunga know exactly who injected the millions of dollars to sustain the Aragalaya protests. Even Martin Schüepp published extensive reports in the Swiss press portraying the crisis as a purely organic, romanticized ‘people’s revolution.’ There was no organic revolution; it was a highly managed coup orchestrated from abroad.”
** “They intentionally weaponized the Muslim community to achieve this. During the height of the Aragalaya protests at Galle Face, over 75% of the active crowds on certain days were from the Muslim minority, driven by intense anger because Gotabaya’s administration had enforced mandatory cremations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The masterminds explicitly manufactured that cultural anger to ensure the minorities would unite with secular forces to overthrow the nationalist government.”
** “To break the back of the traditional majority, they deliberately utilized radicalized Muslim fringe groups. These extremist networks didn’t emerge overnight; foreign intelligence agencies spent years quietly nurturing, funding, and radicalizing specific factions within the Muslim community, maintaining them as a dormant, weaponized tool ready to be activated whenever a major geopolitical shock is required on the island. If tomorrow the international powers require another massive crisis to justify military or political intervention in Sri Lanka, they will activate another radicalized cell. They cannot use the LTTE anymore because the Tamil militancy was permanently crushed. The Buddhist community will never execute suicide operations because the core tenets of Buddhism strictly prohibit the taking of life. Therefore, the international networks have structurally positioned radicalized Muslim factions as their primary mercenary tool for domestic terrorism.”
Part 9: The Channel 4 Deception and the Demand for Justice
** “The highly publicized Channel 4 documentary was completely staged. The producers set up a formal room pretending it was a standard, independent journalistic inquiry. The host claimed, ‘Today, Azath Maulana is here to openly answer any and all questions regarding the conspiracy.’ But the entire event was a script. They invited me to attend the recording, but they intentionally kept my presence a complete secret from Maulana. They knew that if Maulana walked into that room and saw me sitting there, he would have fled the building instantly because he knew I possessed the exact evidence of his multi-million dollar deals and his secret flights.”
** “International media outlets like Channel 4 operate exclusively to serve Western and European geopolitical interests. They will never publish raw, unvarnished truths unless it directly advances their foreign policy objectives. The moment that documentary broadcast concluded, their operational goal was achieved: they permanently cemented a fabricated narrative in the global consciousness that the Rajapaksa state intelligence apparatus was the sole mastermind behind the slaughter of innocent Christians.”
** “The absolute truth will never emerge until the Sri Lankan judicial system conducts a completely independent, rigorous, and uncompromised criminal investigation. A specialized, independent judicial commission must be established to answer one foundational question: Why exactly were Christian institutions and Western hotels selected as the exclusive targets? The current ongoing investigations are a superficial theatrical performance designed to go around in circles. This case will easily drag on for the next 100 years, matching how Turkey has kept the Armenian genocide tribunal permanently stalled. The Vatican will continue to strategically exploit the grief of the Catholic victims to maintain permanent leverage over Sri Lanka until they achieve complete religious and political alignment on the island. The Buddhist majority needs to wake up and see this trap.”
** “Azath Maulana is currently walking free across Europe playing the role of a courageous whistleblower. In reality, he is a mass-murderer who belongs in a maximum-security prison. Over 270 innocent people were ripped to pieces in those churches, and Maulana was the primary operational link who formally introduced the suicide bombers to the state intelligence handlers. He stood by silently, watched the entire infrastructure of the massacre being assembled piece by piece, and systematically concealed the truth to secure his escape. He is the ultimate criminal.”
** “If the current Sri Lankan government is genuinely committed to unbiased justice, they must immediately initiate formal extradition proceedings. Our judiciary must demand that the Swiss government hand Maulana over to stand trial in a Colombo court. He must be subjected to an intense, public cross-examination where the defense counsel can systematically dismantle his lies. They must bring both of us into a single courtroom, place us face-to-face, and interrogate us together regarding the events in Switzerland.”
** “The evidence against him is irrefutable. The Swiss federal asylum identity card he secretly texted me from the train is preserved. The comprehensive statement I signed at the Swiss federal police headquarters is a permanent public record that the Sri Lankan state can legally request. The financial records of the $34 million USD deposited into his Dubai account and his extensive corporate holdings are entirely traceable. Maulana used to openly brag to me that 40% of all the real estate and commercial assets held under Pillayan’s network legally belonged to him as his personal share. He cannot dismiss these facts as hearsay.”
** “Under standard criminal law, if an individual has explicit foreknowledge that a catastrophic mass-casualty terror attack is being planned and deliberately refuses to notify law enforcement, they are legally classified as a principal co-conspirator. Maulana did not just hide the information; he actively brokered the meetings, collected a $34 million USD blood-money payout, and fled to Europe to live a life of luxury. He has secured enough generational wealth to sustain his family for the next four generations. He is simply looking to enjoy a peaceful, wealthy retirement in Europe, completely unbothered by the blood of the children who died in those churches.”
** “For me personally, I don’t care about his money or his retirement. I live a secure, peaceful life in Switzerland and I will continue to travel back and forth to Sri Lanka. What disgusts me completely is the absolute cowardice of our local Muslim political leaders and religious organizations. Instead of aggressively filing international lawsuits against Azath Maulana to clear the community’s name, they are busy issuing public apologies, begging the Catholic church for forgiveness, and carrying the collective guilt of a terrorist attack they had absolutely nothing to do with. Why are they acting like criminals? The individuals who executed the bombings were radicalized mercenaries, and the man who coordinated them is sitting in Switzerland. Our leadership should be demanding his execution, not begging for mercy.”
** “Just the other day, I was reviewing the latest Sri Lankan newspapers, specifically looking at the travel restrictions the courts have placed on Gotabaya Rajapaksa. The entire legal system is focused on preventing Gotabaya from traveling, acting as if he is an international fugitive. It is an absolute joke. He was a democratically elected president who received 6.9 million votes; if he wanted to flee and hide permanently, he would have easily remained in the United States. This entire legal circus against him is intentionally designed to act as a smoke-screen to distract the public while the true international masterminds and operational killers like Azath Maulana are allowed to slip away with millions of dollars in their pockets.”
