Commemoration of 3rd Anniversary of the May 2009 Mass Murders and Human Rights Excesses Committed bySri Lankan Government

By Fax No:1-202-647-2283, 1-202-647-1579, 1-202-456-2461

U.S. Secretary of State HonorableHillary Rodham Clinton

Department of State, Washington, DC.

Madam Secretary,

On May 18, 2012 the Tamils of Sri Lanka and of the Diaspora will once again observe solemnly the anniversary of the atrocities perpetrated by the Sri Lankan Army directed by the Sri Lankan Government.

While three long years have already elapsed since those unspeakable heinous crimes occurred, no meaningful relief is yet in sight for the remaining Vanni Tamils or their dear departed. More than ever, it is now clear that the Government of Sri Lanka possesses neither will nor the urgency to undertake an inquiry of the magnitude envisaged here. It is also clear now that in the absence of any willingness on the part of the international community to move forward on this issue, there never will be any investigation to find out the truth or to hold the perpetrators to account. There is no reason to hope that the cause of justice or international peace will be served well under such circumstances.

In view of the likelihood that there will never be another attempt to ascertain the number casualties during the Mullivaikkaal atrocities of May 2009, the Tamils of Diaspora hold the figure of 146679 people disappearing without trace in the final eight months of war as extracted by the Bishop of Mannar Dr.Rayappu Joseph from official government records and official UN records, as anagreeable estimate of the number of deaths in Vanni in those days. For the confirmation that this amount of casualties occurred due to a war directed against the Tamil Population of Vanni on racial and political grounds, we have banked on the Report of the United Nations Secretary General’s Expert Panel Para 251, Page 69. Extrapolating these two conclusions, Tamils of the Diaspora further arrive at the confirmation and declare that what occurred on May18, 2009 is an act of Genocide, and a crime against Humanity.

Madam, Secretary of State, even in this helpless situation, the Tamils of Sri Lanka and of Diaspora sincerely recognize your personal efforts to obtain justice for us and are grateful for that. The Tamils of Sri Lanka and of Diaspora also note with satisfaction your recently issued message of solidarity with the Rwandan people on the eve of their 19th Anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide. Such act only confirms your ongoing commitment to ensure that a repetition is not allowed.

Under these circumstances, Madam Secretary, it is my earnest personal request that you please consider issuing a message recognizing the sacrifices of the Sri Lankan Tamils on May 18, 2009 and expressing your hope, as you have always insisted upon, for a genuine reconciliation through executing the accountability obligations.

Thanking you sincerely in advance for a positive response, Madam

I remain with hope,
