1948 – months after gaining independence, the Government of Sri Lanka disenfranchises 33% of Tamils, removing their right to vote…61 years on, the discrimination continues…

1958 – hundreds of Tamils are murdered in the first of many vicious racial attacks …51 years on, the violence continues…

1983 – over 3000 Tamils are murdered and 150,000 made homeless in Sri Lankan State sponsored anti-Tamil riots…26 years on, the genocide continues…

Today – 300,000 Tamils are imprisoned in detention camps, shut out from the eyes of the world, killed, starved and raped with impunity, abandoned at the hands of the Sri Lankan military. In an year of unsurpassed bloodshed, tens of thousands of Tamils were killed by the increasingly efficient means of cluster bombs and chemical weapons. During just the first five months of this year, over 20,000 Tamils were killed in indiscriminate bombardment of ’safe zones’, schools and hospitals. Each day of the closing stages of the war brought a thousand Tamil deaths…as the world watches on, the eradication of a people continues.

SHOW THE WORLD OUR UNITY BY GATHERING IN NUMBERS to end the suffering people in IDP camps in Vanni!

We need to be united to fight the genocide against us and We need to be united to Save our People & bring Justice.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

Martin Luther King Jr., US civil rights leader
