"[S]uch a peace [in Sri Lanka] can only be reached once the full truth about the past is understood."

"uch a peace [in Sri Lanka] can only be reached once the full truth about the past is understood." - Joint letter from 58 members of Congress to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

Momentum is building. Help ensure that those responsible for war crimes in Sri Lanka are finally brought to justice.

Dear!

The amazing response from Congress really put a fire under us!

Within the first 24 hours of asking Representatives to sign on to a letter calling for an international investigation into war crimes in Sri Lanka, we got one new co-signer every hour!1

In just 8 days total, we won the support of 58 members of Congress. One by one, they added their name to a powerful letter addressed to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. One by one, they spoke out against Sri Lanka's weak stance on alleged war crimes.

But if we're truly going to make war criminals pay for the abuses they committed against masses of innocent people over a quarter century of ethnic conflict, then we've got to ignite that same fire under the rest of the international community - starting with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

Help us light a fire so bright that we can finally stop impunity for war crimes in Sri Lanka.

In the coming months, Amnesty representatives will be meeting with UN officials. Our goal has been to collect and hand-deliver 50,000 signed petitions to UN offices from our supporters. But once again, the response has been staggering - nearly 40,000 of you have already taken action for Sri Lanka. Keep that momentum going!

Sri Lanka has a 20-year history of setting up flawed commissions that get us nowhere - lacking credibility and derailing criminal investigations.

If this time is going to be any different, then we need to build as much pressure as we can.

Please make a tax-deductible donation today and help finally bring justice to the people of Sri Lanka.

Thank you for standing up against injustice,

Christoph, Jim and the rest of the Crisis Response Team
