2014 01 01 For New Democrats, standing in solidarity with Canadians of Tamil heritage on matters of human rights is part of our shared values as Canadians. I recently arrived in Sri Lanka to visit my extended family and visit the places that were once home for me, during the earlier stages of my life and the civil war in Sri Lanka; but was subject to political intimidation. I was warned I could be subject to arrest and deportation, as several commonwealth MPs from New Zealand and Australia recently faced. I have received word from the Canadian High Commission in Colombo that the Sri Lankan authorities have confirmed that their previous claims of an arrest warr…

Statement of Robert Blake before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during confirmation hearings as US ambassador to Sri Lanka, June 15, 2006 My challenge, if I am confirmed, will be to work with all legitimate political entities in Sri Lanka towards a durable peace, to show that peace and prosperity for all Sri Lankans are fundamental, interlinked goals. Peace provides the foundation for prosperity, which in turn demonstrates the benefits of peace and builds support for it. To reach these twin goals, the parties must be convinced that peace negotiations are the only way forward, that there can be no military solution to this conflict. Mr. Chairman and …

Author: Vaakai Via: Thesaththinkural magazine, 03/2022 ------------------------------------- A Stealth boat is a type of vessel that is especially used as a war vessel, and it employs Stealth technology construction techniques in an effort to ensure that time is hard to detect by one or more radar, visual, sonar, and infrared methods. The main detectors that find out whether a Navy vessel of an enemy is in the oceanic water are the sander, the radar, and the infrared. Stealth boats are designed in such a way that they are invisible, but unlike a Navy ship, which is not, it gives a very big boost and advantage to the stealth boat to launch an attack. These techniques bor…

09 January 2014 After having caused massive deaths and disappearances on the Tamil civilian population during the times of war, the Sri Lankan State now continues to commit acts of structural genocide in the Tamil land.

Stop child abductions by Karuna group (New York, November 28, 2006) The Sri Lankan security forces must immediately stop assisting abductions of boys and young men by the Karuna group and help those abducted return safely to their families, Human Rights Watch said today.

All that she says about …

The air was thick with emotion. Crowds of Tamil protesters had swelled along University Ave., throughout the cool spring day, chanting slogans and beating drums to bring attention to the plight of their families and friends in Sri Lanka. Leading the chorus of pleas was Lavanya Nithiyanantharasan, 21, a Durham College student whose strong voice and stamina roused the crowd for a marathon 24 hours. "Everybody was taking turns. We couldn't have just sat there. I had the voice and the strength to yell for a long time and so I did," she said. She became, at least for a day, the symbol of the Tamil movement: young, Canadian, yet impassioned enough to flock to t…

Did The Stuxnet Worm Kill India’s INSAT-4B Satellite? On July 7, 2010, a power glitch in the solar panels of India’s INSAT-4B satellite resulted in 12 of its 24 transponders shutting down.
