WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Featured Replies

Dear friends,

It has been nearly three years since the terrible events that surrounded the end of the civil war in Sri Lanka. We still don't really know what happened but our best guess is that around 40,000 people were killed - the majority by the Sri Lankan Army shelling hospitals and "safe zones", that both the Government of Sri Lanka and the Tamil Tigers committed appalling war crimes, and that responsibility goes all the way to the top.

The families of those that died, and those that were tortured, still have not seen justice done - and that is creating more victims. For as the perpetrators of these terrible crimes continue to get away with murder, so a culture of impunity is deepened - turning Sri Lanka into a place where persons known and unknown torture, abduct, rape and murder knowing that nobody will stop them.

Something must be done, and now we have the opportunity.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon commissioned a report into the atrocities[1]. He has now referred that report to the Human Rights Council. Theymeet in six short weeks. We need to use that time to make sure Ban Ki Moon and the Human Rights Council understand that we will not tolerate inaction.

Please click here and sign the petition asking Ban Ki Moon and the Human Rights Council to act on Sri Lanka

We need to act now. In three years the international community have not got justice for Sri Lanka and soon their attention will move on to other things. We must ensure that this does not happen.

Click here to sign the petition. It can be filled in anonymously.

There are some people who want the truth to remain hidden. They say the truth isn't necessary - just get on with the future. But we know that to get lasting peace, all Sri Lankans need to know the truth. There are thousands like us and with your help we are stronger than those who want to bury the past, which almost inevitably means re-living it sometime in the future.

Please help.

The Sri Lanka Campaign

P.S. We know many of you have signed the petition already. If you are one of them please do tell your friends and family to make sure we get as many signatures as possible.
