https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10152907149776133 Lee Rhiannon Today in Parliament I spoke about what November 27 means for the Tamils both in Sri Lanka and in the many countries they now call home. It is a day they remember with deep pain and sadness the 26 year long civil war in Sri Lanka in which over hundred thousand Tamils were killed and the more than 60 years of systematic Sri Lankan state orchestrated brutality towards them. In previous years I have been able to join the community in Sydney in their grieving. The horror of the 2009 war has left deep lasting scars. This year I will be in Parliament. My heart and thoughts are with the Tamils i…

At least 1,600 Tamil youth from the Jaffna district have joined the Sri Lanka Army within the period of three months, Army Commander Shavendra Silva said. He expressed this while addressing the Security Forces officials at the Jaffna Headquarters. “We still find people expressing views in favour of separatism.

Monday, May 19th marks the five-year anniversary of the end of Sri Lanka’s civil war, which claimed the lives of 40,000 to 70,000 civilians in its “catastrophic” final phase. In 2009, Congress asked the State Department to report on the humanitarian law violations during the war, and those reports make for gruesome reading. If history is a guide, this week congressional representatives will publicly call for accountability for war crimes in Sri Lanka—as members of Congress have done on the past four anniversaries. (See accompanying post, “Honor Roll of US Congressional Members Who’ve Stood for Accountability in Sri Lanka”) This post proposes specific action that cong…

At least nine Sri Lankan Tamil refugees who attempted to illegally ferry to Australia from the coastal town of Oriyur in Tamil Nadu were arrested by the Indian police last night. Police said they had come from different refugee camps in the State and had been staying in rooms attached to St. Arulanandar Church at Oriyur for the past two days when police zeroed in on them on Friday night. They started moving out after realising that police had sensed the 'human trafficking' when local and Q branch police arrested them. Six of them were arrested near the church premises, while three others, who tried to escape in a car, were intercepted and arrested at Devako…

The headline and the illustration raised a furore among political leaders in Tamil Nadu. However, hours after the "objectionable" content, that centred around Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa's many letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking his intervention in the fishermen issue, was posted o…

25 December 2013 Simranjit Singh Mann “Tamils can’t live [in a united Sri Lanka] after the perpetration of the crime of genocide. I think the wounds are too deep historically there to be reconciliation.

At its March 2013 session, the United Nations Human Rights Council should authorize an independent, international investigation into war crimes committed during the final months of Sri Lanka’s armed conflict, Human Rights Watch said in a letter to council members today. Since the council adopted a resolution on Sri Lanka at its March 2012 session calling for action, the Sri Lankan government has taken no significant steps to provide justice for victims of abuse and accountability for those responsible. “Over the past year the Sri Lankan government has alternated between threatening activists who seek justice and making small, cynical gestures to keep the internation…

India's foreign minister has said New Delhi must accept China's growing presence in its own backyard as Beijing steps up its investments and diplomatic efforts in South Asia. New Delhi has been wary of growing Chinese influence around the Indian Ocean, where Beijing has forged ties with Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Maldives and military-ruled Myanmar, often through funding and building infrastructure. Speaking at a conference in the Indian capital on Monday, Salman Khurshid said: "We will have to accept the new reality of China's presence in many areas that we consider an exclusive playground for India and its friends.

While the accusation that Dr. Susan Rice, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, intentionally mislead the public by saying that the Bengazhi killings of four Americans was a spontaneous attack in response to a film mocking prophet Mohammed, appears to have damaged her chances of being appointed as the U.S.'s Secretary of State after Hilary Clinton, Rice's human rights record in the U.N., including her inaction on Sri Lanka killings, has also come under closer scrutiny, Washington Post said in an article this Friday, quoting comment from an official of the Human Rights Watch.
