As you are aware that Tamils are organizing a protest march on 4th February 2009 against the Genocide war by the Sinhala Government of Sri Lanka against Tamil people. This is the time for us to forget all differences and unite to show our solidarity and support to our brethren suffering in our motherland.Let’s Unite and show our voice to the international community. Let’s rally around to safe guard our people from the war mongering Sri Lanka. Please be present at the venue on time. Inform all your friends about the event and bring them together. Since journalists are barred from the war zone and also the Sri Lankan Government has banned free media reporting, we have the responsibility to bring the message to the world.The organizers are planning to call upon all the Australian media to cover the event, for that to happen, a solid request need to be forwarded to the media. Therefore, please send the sample letter given here to the following email addresses.

Re: Request for media coverage on 4th Feb 2009 at Martin Place

As you would be aware of the ongoing war and tense situation in the predominantly Tamil populated northern part of Sri Lanka, the Government of Sri Lanka is using all its power to eliminate the minority Tamils under the name of ‘war on terror’ to hoodwink the international community.

This war is currently turned into genocidal war against the Tamil people, and the situation has reached its most critical stage, over 250 000 civilians have been marooned into an area about 9 miles by 18 miles without food and shelter and no place to move for safety.

Unfortunately, the huge humanitarian crisis created by the war has been largely unreported, due to the Sri Lankan Government’s systematic ban on aid workers and reporters to the north.

Due to the media ban on war zone and complete blackout of information, most of the world completely oblivious to the happenings. Further the state terrorism killed the journalists who ever bring the facts to the public, you may be informed about the recent killing of “Lasantha Wickramatunga” Editor of popular weekend newspaper Sunday Leader.

Within last two weeks alone many hundreds of innocent Tamil civilians have been killed, many of whom were children and many hundreds seriously injured by the indiscriminate shelling by government forces, all within the safety zone declared by the same government. The International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) and UN officers confirmed these killings. Further UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, in a press release issued Thursday, 29th January 2009 said that "the lack of access for independent monitors, humanitarian workers and the media only adds to concerns that the situation may be even worse than we realize."

Reporters without Borders also criticized the government for not allowing journalists to enter the conflict zone, however the Sri Lankan Government refused all these request and it not even allow the aid workers or the journalist to meet the displaced civilians who do manage to leave the war zone are held in government-managed detention camps.

The Sri Lankan Government Colombo refused all the International call (European Union, Germany, South Africa, Norway, the UK) for ceasefire to save the civilians trapped in the war zone. It staged a drama on 30th Jan 09, to the international community saying that they give 48 hours to flee the people from the war zone to safety environment and they ensure a safe passage, however the shelling continued and it killed more than 50 Tamil civilians.

The Tamil Diaspora are creating vigil in many countries, in Canada more than 80,000 participated and in France and UK more than 120,000 took part in the vigil. The Tamils based in Sydney, feel hard about our brethren at home and to give our solidarity and moral support in their plight, and to create awareness among international community, we are organising a protest march on 4th February 2009 commencing from Martin Place at 4.00 pm onwards in a democratic way, against the genocidal war against Tamil people in Sri Lanka.

As like the other media which gave coverage in Canada, France, Germany, Norway and the UK, we are anticipating the support of the Australian media too to give coverage to our demonstration. Australia being a pluralistic country and having respect for humanity among all, we expect the media too will hear our small voice. We earnestly solicit your support to give publicity and create vigil among the international community to give a redress to our affected people.

A kindness done in the hour of need may itself be small, but in worth it exceeds the whole world.

Yours sincerely,
