The fact that war in Sri Lanka ended with some credible reports pointing that over 20,000 Tamil civilians were slaughtered by the Sri Lankan forces in the final days of the military onslaught early this year. Close to 300,000 civilians including over 60,000 children are being illegally detained in the internment camps with in adequate food, medicine, water and sanitary conditions for the past five months and we see no prospect of Sri Lankan authority release them in the near future from these internment camps. Abduction, disappearances, arbitrary arrests, attacks, harassments, rapes, and other form of enforced violence are still widely taking place against Tamils in Sri Lanka . Tamil people are fleeing the country through whatever mean available to them to escape these types of enforced ill treatments by the Sri Lankan authority. The world reputable rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Asian Human Rights Commission and Asian Human Rights Commission and many others continue to express concerns for the Tamils in Sri Lanka and continue to criticize Sri Lanka for its ill treatment of Tamil citizens.

Sri Lanka is the only country which officially practices racism. J.R. Jayewardene, a former President during whose tenure violence aided by the state broke out against the Thamil people. Thousands perished during anti-Thamil violence in 1977, 1979 and 1983. During the height of racial pogrom in July 1983 this is what J.R.Jayawardena told Daily Telegraph "I am not worried about the opinion of the Jaffna people... now we cannot think of them, not about their lives or their opinion... the more you put pressure in the north, the happier the Sinhala people will be here... Really if I starve the Tamils out, the Sinhala people will be happy."

Tamil Elam was born in the nineteen fifties, when the Sinhalese majority in newly-independent Sri Lanka set about to build a national identity by appealing to Sinhalese nationalism. By an act of the Sinhalese-dominated parliament, a million Tamils were stripped of citizenship and franchise on the grounds that their parents or grandparents had been born in India. The proportion of Tamil voters in the electorate instantly dropped from 33% to 20%, giving the Sinhalese a lock on the 2/3 parliamentary majority needed to pass any law they wanted. Sinhalese became the official language of Sri Lanka. Tamil civil servants, who had dominated the English colonial administration, were summarily fired. Under the guise of agricultural schemes, the Sinhalese government pushed Tamils off their land, flooding newly-created enlarged tracts of farmland with previously landless Sinhalese. Pogroms and general oppression ensued. In the 1958 riots alone, 25,000 Tamils were forced to flee into the northern part of the island. An effort was even made to deport “stateless” disenfranchised Tamils to India. The Tamil response to this campaign was predictable and obvious. At first, they followed the non-violent path of Mohandas Gandhi. Old men sat at the entrances of government offices, chanting hymns and preventing government clerks from entering by blocking the entrances with their bodies. The Sinhalese police beat them aside with clubs. Peaceful protests were dispersed by Sinhalese thugs acting with semi-official sanction. The peaceful way of satyagraha was of no avail. Gandhi’s approach had worked with the British because the refined British public and media would take their government to task over the perceived violations of Indian civil rights. It would not work against the Sinhalese because the Sinhalese public and media eagerly applauded the violation of Tamil civil rights. By the nineteen seventies, the Tamil language was banned and Tamil contacts with the Tamil population of India were forcibly cut off. A policy of deliberate discrimination in everything from housing and employment to university scholarships pushed the Tamils to the fringes of society and sat the Sinhalese firmly on top. Sinhalese troops patrolled Tamil villages, assaulting anyone who dared to look at them the wrong way. A deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing was pushing Tamils deeper and deeper into the north of Ceylon. There was no doubt in the mind of any sane observer that the Sinhalese would not stop until they slowly, by stages, pushed the Tamils into the ocean. In fact, the Sinhalese said as much. Tamils, according to the Sinhalese, were foreigners who belonged in India. When Tamil youth demanded action in the face of government oppression, their elders quelled them in the name of “national unity” and “non-violence”. They were told that Hinduism prohibited violence. They were told that parliamentary means could ensure their rights. They were told that this Tamil politician or that Tamil politician or some other Tamil politician would somehow magically make an agreement with the Sinhalese in exchange for his vote in one coalition or another. The agreements were duly made. And duly broken. The oppression continued. In the end, the youth did the only rational thing they could have done. They rejected their elders. They rejected the Sinhalese State. They rejected non-violence. They demanded a country of their own. At gunpoint. It was the seventies. The West seemed on the run, the Soviets were winning the Cold War and Marxist rebels were popping up the world over. For a young man rebelling against the established order and the religion of his elders, Marxism was the logical way to go. Therefore it is not surprising, though unfortunate for the Tamil people on Ceylon, that those who sought to liberate them from Sinhalese rule were mostly Marxists. In May 1976, a glorified street gang of brutal thugs who overlaid savagery with Marxist rhetoric adopted the grandiose name “Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam”. Their leader, a twenty-one-year-old high school dropout named Vellupilai Prabhakaran, had already set the tone in July of the previous year by shooting the mayor of Jaffna as the latter arrived to pray at a Hindu temple. Things spiraled on from there and, as generally happens in conflicts of this type, all pretense of civilization was rapidly thrown aside. The point of no return came in July of 1983, when, allegedly in response to an LTTE ambush that killed 15 Sri Lankan soldiers, Sinhalese civilians rioted across the island, murdering some 3,000 Tamils. The rioters had official government voter lists showing the names and addresses of Tamils. The Sinhalese army and police stood by and did nothing for days as entire neighborhoods were burned to the ground. As Tamil motorists were pulled out of their cars and burned alive at improvised checkpoints, whole families were hacked to pieces in their living rooms and Tamil temples were put to the torch by Sinhalese mobs led by plainclothes police, spontaneity , unlike brutality, was not in evidence. The event would forever be remembered by the Tamils as Black July. In response to this final atrocity, hundreds of thousands of Tamils fled abroad, while those remaining on Ceylon made their way to the North and East of the island, where the heretofore small-time pro-independence insurgency suddenly had no shortage of recruits. Asia’s longest running civil war was on in earnest, no holds barred.

4,900 innocent youths were abducted by military assisted paramilitaries whose heads are cabinet ministers. What happened to those Tamils? The perpetrators of such crimes were guaranteed impunity to ensure the victims are added on daily basis. The entire world was watching these horrors passively without taking any action but contended with issuing statements of 'concern'. President Obama wants to be firm with leaders who commit war crimes and human rights abuses while pursuing his quiet diplomacy. We do hope justice will prevail at the end even it is too late to save more than 50,000 lives who were massacred as a part of eliminating the ethnic Tamils during 2009.

'Tamils against Genocide' is a front organisation for the Tamil Tigers. When was the last time anyone got a Pro-Al Qaeda view? You wont. So why give these Tamil extremist posing as victims, a voice?

Welcome to Tamils Against Genocide http://www.tamilsagainstgenocide.org/

Abduction, disappearances, arbitrary arrests, attacks, harassments, rapes, and other form of Sri Lankan state enforced violence are still widely taking place against Tamils in Sri Lanka. In addition, Sri Lanka continues to display its arrogant, authoritarian and callous behaviors towards 300,000 Tamil civilians which includes more than 60,000 children without adequate food, medicine, water and sanitary conditions for the past five months in Sri Lanka what many referring as torture camps for them. Rest of the living Tamils in the country silently suffering in the hands of the brutal regime and they see no light of end of the tunnel. Tamil people in Sri Lanka are fleeing the country through whatever means available to them to escape these types of enforced ill treatments by the arrogant and authoritarian Sri Lankan regime. The impact of 30 years of war has been really devastating to the Tamil people and, apart from a few isolated voices, there is no truly democratic grouping representing them, Dr Keenan from the reputable rights organization, HRW said. "Many Tamils have remained silent because people who speak up don't always survive. But that will be one of the main problems in any postwar political process — where are the credible Tamil political voices?" he added. Media Freedom continues to be curtailed in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan Government continues to use murder, abductions, and harassments as weapons to silence journalists and media in Sri Lanka. At least 9 journalists were killed and 28 Injured since 2006 in Sri Lanka. So far, at least 8 prominent independent journalists fled Sri Lanka fearing for their lives within past one week alone. The world must wake up to this reality and accept the Tamils rights to self-determination and peacefully end all the justifications of the current Rajapaksa’s regime as part of their ‘war on terror’ more info about General Fonseka: TAG 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvlDRcFItAc TAG 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWqywFQxTPk TAG 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIZU2sOJgYw

this is the good time to the tamils.FONSEKA must be charged for the crimes which he has done.not only him the RAJAPAKSA BROTHERS also.under their orders the army have killed the TIGERS(FREEDOM FIGHTERS) who went with the white flag under the order by UN to speak to the generals.but they did not obey to the orders by UN.among these tigers one of them wife is origenal sinhalies also killed by the army.no boady must give them a chance.US must question the FONSEKA and must charge under criminal law.these three killed somany children,elderly women and men.their armys raped many women.so this is the right time to US,and EU to take action against FONSEKA and RAJAPAKSA BROTHERS. from: claude BORN TO TAMIL BLOOD.
