Source: https://academic.oup.com/book/5982/chapter/149349981 Abstract This chapter discusses the motives and legitimation of female cadres of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) joining the fight against the Sri Lankan government. Tamil young women were, among others, motivated by grievances against the treatment of the Tamil minority by the government, their experience of sexual and gender-based violence by Sinhalese soldiers and Indian peacekeepers, and a wish to avenge the death of relatives. They also wanted to escape a suppressive and conservative Tamil culture that forced them into arranged marriages. The heroism and sacrificial martyrdom cultivated …

S. Ragini, Director of Malarcholai Displacement and the breakdown of the social fabric create another set of problems for women.

Navaneetham Pillai, Former HC for UNHRC sends us a kind robust message for Tamil Remembrance Day.

An employee of the Swiss embassy in Sri Lanka has been "detained and threatened" in Colombo, sparking anger from Swiss authorities. Switzerland summoned the Sri Lankan ambassador and demanded an inquiry after the incident came to light. Swiss officials said unidentified men tried to force the woman to "disclose embassy-related information". They did not provide more details, but it comes after a top Sri Lankan police officer reportedly sought Swiss asylum. It is widely believed he feared for his safety after the election of Gotabaya Rajapaksa as Sri Lanka's president earlier this month. Mr Rajapaksa, a former wartime defence chief, is accused of v…

Sri Lanka promised to deliver justice after a United Nations human rights report called on Wednesday for a special court to be set up to prosecute war crimes committed during the nation's 26-year civil conflict. The Foreign Ministry stopped short, however, of directly addressing the U.N.'s proposal to set up a special court to prosecute those from the government forces and Tamil Tiger rebels suspected of atrocities. "The government of Sri Lanka will ensure dialogue and wide consultations with all stakeholders ... in putting in place mechanisms and measures that will facilitate the right to know, right to justice, reparations and guaranteeing non-recurrence with the …

KURUMBASIDDY, Sri Lanka (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The civil war in northern Sri Lanka ended more than a decade ago, but Shan Raj’s ancestral home is still surrounded by a fence of barbed wire. Every year, Raj comes all the way from Australia to his home village of Kurumbasiddy, near the once war-torn city of Jaffna, with the hope of being able to visit the 11-room house his father built alongside the family-owned rice mill. He has not been inside his childhood home since June 1990. That was when his family’s property, along with that of more than 100 families living in the area 395km (245 miles) north of the capital Colombo, was declared part of a high…

How Britain stole $45 trillion from India And lied about it. Jason Hickel There is a story that is commonly told in Britain that the colonisation of India – as horrible as it may have been – was not of any major economic benefit to Britain itself. If anything, the administration of India was a cost to Britain. So the fact that the empire was sustained for so long – the story goes – was a gesture of Britain’s benevolence. New research by the renowned economist Utsa Patnaik – just published by Columbia University Press – deals a crushing blow to this narrative. Drawing on nearly two ce…

Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson briefing journalists in New York about the new “Rights up Front” initiative said: “You may recall in the IRP [internal Review Panel] Report on Sri Lanka, that we had a systemic failure of the UN system as a whole and that we need to show greater flexibilities and come up with speedier action.” Mr. Eliasson stressed, echoing his remarks to an informal meeting of the General Assembly earlier this week. There, he told delegations that the Panel’s report, issued last year, also concluded th…

Tens of thousands are reportedly still living with the effects of Agent Orange, a toxic herbicide the US military used during the Vietnam war

Saturday, September 6, 2014 By Chris Slee The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) fought for an independent Tamil homeland in the north and east of the island of Sri Lanka. The group was formed in response to discrimination against the Tamil people by the Sri Lankan government, after peaceful protests had been repeatedly met with violent repression. It waged an armed struggle for nearly three decades. The LTTE was militarily defeated in 2009, and no longer exists. Yet people are still being penalised for alleged links with the group. This is happening in Sri Lanka, in Australia, and in other countries. In Australia, Tamils who have been officially re…

“Confusion now has made his masterpiece Most sacrilegious murder hath broke ope The Lord’s anointed temple And stole thence. The life of the building” -Macbeth, William Shakespeare- Those who said and believed that justice was even-handed would not have heard of the country called Sri Lanka. The government, for the last few years, let its people get a glimpse of its multi-faceted course of justice in which the fundamentals are conveniently excluded and swiftness is a luxury granted solely for the selected few. And Rizana Nafeek was not one of them. Rizana marched to death after having been in prison for almost eight years; during which the government did not…
