Memorandum

To: Right Hon. Stephen Harper, Prime Minster

Date: Jan 27, 2008

Subject: Please STOP Genocide against Tamils in Sri Lanka

CC: Michael Ignatieff, Leader of Liberal Party of Canada

Jack Layton, Leader of the New Democratic Party

Gilles Duceppe, Leader of Bloc Québécois

Elizabeth May, Green Party of Canada

On Jan 26, 2009 Sri Lankan Government killed more than 300 hundred Tamil Civilians in the 'Safety Zone' and more than a 1000 wounded in the Tamil areas [1]. Only few media reported about Tamil casualties since Sri Lankan Government blocks all the media in the Tamil areas.

Sri Lankan Government and its paramilitary are well known for extra judicial killings and mass murders. It also is responsible for killings of journalists, parliamentarians. Now, the 60 years of slow genocide [9], is taking a dangerous turn to worse.

In recent days, Government of Sri Lanka escalated aerial bombing, shelling, and ground troop movements in Tamil areas. 22 Tamils have been killed and more than 60 Tamils severely wounded on January 25. Today, January 26, it bombed the "safety zone" again killing more than three hundreds and injuring more than a thousand. Most are slowly bleeding to death as there is no doctors or medicine available.

According to TamilNet daily reporting [1], in average five Tamils have been either disappeared or killed by the Sri Lankan government military or paramilitary in the Sri Lankan army tightly controlled areas. In the recent days, in average, more than fifty Tamils killed and wounded each day by the Sri Lankan Government.

Since Government of Sri Lanka expelled the UN, NGOs and International journalists from the Tamil living areas, the International media have difficulties in bringing these human tragedies. Sri Lankan Government expelled the International media and mutes the local media because it wants to execute the killings spree without any witness.

Since 1948, according to TCHR, more than 80,000 Tamils have been killed by the Sri Lankan government and more than 40% of the Tamils have been eliminated from their homeland [3]. Tamils democratically decided to free from Sri Lanka in 1977 [4]. Due to lack of pressure on the Sri Lankan government, Tamils still facing Genocide.

In the current situation, Tamils are fearful of mass graves as it happened in the past. Tamils fear all men and women between 18-35 will be wiped out. Sri Lankan government killed more than eight hundred Tamils only in Chemmani mass graves [5] in Jaffna most of them killed between 1995 and 1998 after Sri Lankan Government military invasion in Jaffna in 1995.

When you have time, please read the following comprehensive document that well expose 60 year history of Sri Lankan State terrorism.

We urge your good officers to take immediate action to save the lives that are being lost every day. Please understand the sufferings and the hardships of the Tamils in Sri Lanka.

It is never too late to stop the genocide.
