'Global Cemetery' - May is the month of remembering the massacre of Tamils in Sri Lanka

 

Sri Lankan, Sinhala state not only committed crimes against humanity, dire rights abuses and war crimes against section of its citizens (Tamils), but legitimated its actions along with the support of its powerful friendlier nations including China and others.

It is sad turn of events that the whole world was not able to prevent slaughter of more than 40,000 Tamils and maiming of more than 50,000 including women and children. There are still more than 100,000 Tamil Internally Displaced People (IDPs) which includes thousands of children illegally held up in many Sri Lankan government run, in-adequately managed, poorly fed, military guarded, and over crowded detention camps.

These statistics were confirmed by the United Nations recently.

All of these people became refugees in their own land. In addition, more than 11,000 young Tamils who were allegedly had some sort of connection to Tamil rebels are being locked up in secret detention camps without any access to aid workers or independent media for the past eleven months.

Tamil Diaspora must continue to expose Sri Lanka for its dastardly act of crimes against humanity against Tamils, violating both international humanitarian and human rights laws of Tamils for the past 62 years and particularly in the last phase of the military operation against Tamils early last year. Sinhalese have shown to other nations of the world that it is their way or the highway as far as the international norms are concerned.
