Justice delayed for Tamils more than 32 years! Black July Massacre Remembered in London

image_pdfPRINT

British Tamil Forum (BTF) organised the commemoration event on 1983 black July in London on 23rd of July 2015.

Thousands of people gathered in London on 23rd July 2015 to commemorate this event in London, opposite to the British Prime Minister’s official residence at 10 Downing Street. Youth members of BTF who organised this event expressed their deep disappointment that the justice is delayed. Many of them are victims of the on going Genocide in Sri Lanka who shared their own experience of torture and took a vow to seek justice.

“32 years passed, since the heinous ethnic riots unleashed against the Tamils in Sri Lanka by the Sri Lankan Government in 1983. Nearly two thousand people were slaughtered in the cruellest manner by Sinhala state-sponsored hooligans, which include the 58 Tamil prisoners, men, women and children. Tamil men were burned alive by putting burning tires around their necks. Many Tamil women were gang raped and grenades were exploded in their genitals. Babies were thrown against the wall until their brains come out. Children were drowned alive in boiling tar. Our house was looted and set on fire. My parents narrowly escaped and fled to India as refugees. The 1983 riots were part of the systematic Genocide being carried out by the Singhalese Government against the Tamils and this still continues” says Mr Nithiyanathan Antony Anton, a member of the International Centre for Prevention and Prosecution of Genocide (ICPPG).

One of the organisers, Mr Navaneepan Nagavelrasa, who is a BTF activist and a young journalist from Sri Lanka, told the media that “The Sinhala Government lead by J.R.Jeyawardane brought laws to marginalise the Tamils and made them as second citizens of Sri Lanka. The successive Governments took various steps to eliminate the Tamils from the island. The LTTE who took arms to defend the Tamils were defeated in 2009, however the Genocide continues. I was also abducted and tortured by Sri Lankan forces and paramilitary troops in December 2011 in suspicion of being involved with the LTTE who fought for the rights of the Tamils. My own experience is a good example of the on going human rights violations despite the end of the war and the regime change. We need an international investigations into the war crimes and a separate Tamil Eelam is the only solution for Tamils”.

One of the organisers, Mr Kirojan Thuraiyappah, a leading BTF activist and a direct victim of the ethnic riots, delivered a passionate speech. He stated, “Since 1956 to 2002, 115 incidents of mass killings of Tamil civilians have taken place. Many Tamil women were raped and murdered. Thousands of Tamil houses and businesses were burnt, looted and vandalised with over 2,00,000 Tamils left homeless and forced to flee to our homeland in North & East or abroad. It has been 32 years since this genocide act against Tamils and no one has been brought to justice and the impunity continues to this day. The current Prime Minister Mr. Ranil Wickramasigha was the architect of this Genocidal act and the Sri Lankan state has no genuine political will to deliver justice the victims. It is absurd if the international community expects the perpetrators to investigating their own crimes. This is why the Tamil people around the world do not believe the internal investigation in Sri Lanka”.

Mr Ravichchandran Ratnasingam, Mr Kumanan Sivalingam and Mr Kapilan Rasamani also shared their own experience of torture in the hands of the Sri Lankan forces and made an open plea to the international community and the British Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. David Cameron to insist on independent international investigation if they genuinely want to deliver justice to Tamils.

Save the life of Tamil Torture Victim – A Former LTTE Member & Tamil Activist facing Removal to Sri Lanka

image_pdfPRINT

Despite clear evidence of on-going torture in Sri Lanka, the Home Office is attempting to deport a former LTTE member to be tortured to death in the hands of the Sri Lankan forces who tortured him in the past.

Mr Gunesekaram Navarathnarasa (known as Shanker) is a former member of the LTTE and a victim of torture. He sustained serious injuries from fighting against the Sri Lankan army and from the torture he suffered in the hands of the Sri Lankan authorities.

He is also a leading Tamil activist known to many people in the UK. He had been involved in high profile meetings against the Sri Lankan Government and his photographs were published by the Media. He is also an artist who performed street dramas in public exposing the atrocities committed by the Sri Lankan army. His case has now been widely covered by media in UK and Sri Lanka so if he is deported back to Sri Lanka he faces detainment and torture.

Shanker’s brother had been recently abducted and tortured by the Sri Lankan authorities who were looking for Shanker. He had become permanently disabled as he was hit on his head during the horrendous torture. He managed to escape and came to the UK. He is now granted asylum and he had been cared by Shanker. Medical evidence suggests that they are exceptionally dependent on each other and separating him from his disabled brother would trigger both to end their life, as both are mentally fragile and suicidal.

Shanker is currently detained by the Home Office and facing removal to Sri Lanka. He is currently detained at HM Prison – The VERNE. As a result of the torture he suffered in the past, Shanker suffers from serious mental health issues and remain suicidal. He attempted to end his life and seriously harmed himself in the detention recently. Regardless of his deteriorating mental health, the Home Office refused to release him and continue to detain him without proper medical treatments. The Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr Saleh Dhumad who assessed him has confirmed that he is not fit to be detained and his condition cannot be adequately treated in the detention.

Shanker’s life is no doubt at serious risk if he were removed to Sri Lanka, not only because of his previous involvement with the LTTE but also because of his high profile political activities against the Sri Lankan Government in the UK.

Six years after the Mullivaikkal massacre, the demand for international inquiry and justice, besides a referendum, for the cause of Eelam continues to stay alive in London as can be seen from the gathering of people, mostly youth, at the candlelight vigil held in remembrance of the victims. Convening in front of the residence of the British Prime Minister David Cameron, Tamils paid respect to the thousands that died at the hands of the Sri Lankan state. Several British MPs joined the Tamil community in remembrance of the Tamil lives and expressed solidarity with the Tamil pursuit towards accountability and a political solution.

The BTF North East mobilisation Coordinator Mr Jeyanthan Ramachandran who suffered torture himself said to press that they strongly believe in independence as the only means to secure the safety. He had been abducted in April 2013 when he visited Sri Lanka after 4 years from the end of the war. His father who is journalist in Sri Lanka continues to receive threats despite the change of government.

The event, organised by the British Tamils Forum, was also used as a platform to launch a new campaign seeking truth about the disappeared Tamils in Sri Lanka, entitled “Are they alive?” with a hope to find out the fate of the 10,000 former LTTE members who surrendered in 2009 and made to disappear by the Sri Lankan Government.

Mr Mohanavannan Shanmugarajah

“The abductions and torture in Sri Lanka still continues” says Mr Mohanavannan Shanmugarajah who was one of the organisers of this event. He told that he was detained and tortured during his return of Sri Lanka and he is now determined to fight for justice for the Tamil people. He used to work for the LTTE during his school days, however he is now accused of attempting to re-build the LTTE by retuning from the UK. He strongly believes that these are just on going systematic steps of Genocide and instil fear among Tamils not to raise their voices.

Mr Sivalingam Kumanan, another leading activist of the BTF told the press that he had been waiting for justice for the brutal assassination of his father, who was the former Deputy Director of Education Jaffna. It is well documented that his father was shot dead in cold blood on 26th December 2006 after having an argument with the EPDP leader Douglas Devenanda and refusing to sing the National Anthem in Singhalese at Schools. Despite the fact that Mr Sivalingam Kumanan and his family are able to identity the gunman, this case is still pending in Sri Lanka due to political pressure and no justice is done to date. It is also of note that Mr Sivalingam Kumanan who attempted pursue the case was tortured and forced to drop the case and leave the Country.

Mr Sivalingam Kumanan and Mr Piriyankan Kathirgamanathan remain with hope and continue to seek justice in various ways. They also recently met the former British Prime Minister Rt. Hon. Toney Blair with a team of BTF members and brought this to his attention.

Sri Lankan President Srisena humiliated by Tamil Diaspora in London

image_pdfPRINT

The Sri Lank’s new president, Maithripala Srisena was encountered by angry Tamil protesters at Heathrow airport on Saturday and in front of Westminster Abbey, London, today.

1

The Tamil Coordinating Committee (TCC) and the British Tamil Forum (BTF) jointly organised a static protest against the Sri Lankan president Maithripala Srisena’s visit to London.

23Mr Mathanaruban Kunasekaram, a key member of the BTF who is responsible for coordinating this demonstration said “Maithripala Srisena is a War Criminal and any Sri Lankan Genocide War Criminals are not welcome in the UK. We will continue to express or concerns and fight until we get justice for the on going Genocide against Tamils in Sri Lanka”.

 

 

Aleading diaspora activist, Ms Varaveena 4Mylvaganam said in her interview to the Global Tamil Television (GTV) that “He was the Sri Lanka’s acting defence Minister in Mahinda Rajapakse’s regime which is responsible for the Genocide of over 1,40, 000 Tamil civilians in just few weeks. He has the Tamil blood on his hands and he excused all war criminals including Sarath Fonseka. It is a shame that he is allowed to attend the Common wealth event to fay at the Westminster abbey”

As a victim from Sri Lanka, she made an open plea for all Tamil victims to gather and show their opposition.

Angry Tamil diaspora activists also condemned TNA MP M.A. Sumanthiran for his video call to halt the protest.

A former Jaffna University student, Mr Paranthaman Paramsothy, who is now seeking asylum in the UK after being tortured in Sri Lanka, claims “Tamil peoples lands re recklessly encroached by the settlement of Singhalese and no action had been taken. This continues even after Srisena was elected as president. This is part of the systematic Genocide. He should also be tried for war crimes and Genocide”.

Mr Rubakumar Rasaratnam who is living in the UK since 2005 shared his own experience and said “Not even a single political prisoner is released to date as promised by Srisena. We, Tamil who voted him were betrayed. Abductions and disappearances are still taking place in Sri Lanka. Even my father was assaulted recently in attempt to silence me. But we will not rest until we get justice”.

Refer Sri Lanka to International Criminal Court – Million Signature Campaign Launched in 15 Languages by TGTE

A million signature campaigns in fifteen languages (www.tgte-icc.org) was launched to urge the United Nations to refer Sri Lanka to the International Criminal Court for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide committed against Tamils by the Sri Lankan State.

Mr Pramekumar Sivapalan - TGTE Activist
Mr Pramekumar Sivapalan – TGTE Activist

Mr Sivapalan Premkumar, a TGTE activist and part of this campaign spoke to the Media and shared his experience. He stated that he had been detained, tortured and sexually abused in Sri Lanka, however he could not get justice until to day. He expressed his deep disappointment and also made a public plea;

“We, the undersigned people from around the world, urge the United Nations to refer Sri Lanka to the International Criminal Court (ICC) or to establish a similar credible International Judicial Mechanism for investigation and prosecution of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide committed against the Tamil people by the Sri Lankan State.

According to the UN Internal Review Report on Sri Lanka, there were “credible estimates” of civilian casualties of 70,000 Tamils during the first six months in 2009. As the former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pointed out, Sri Lanka is one of the notable countries, along with Bosnia, Burma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan and elsewhere, where rape was used as a tactic of war”.

Mr Paramsothy Paramthaman - TGTE Activist
Mr Paramsothy Paramthaman – TGTE Activist

Mr Paramsothy Paranthaman, another TGTE Activist sated that “We firmly believe that neither a domestic mechanism nor a hybrid mechanism will mete out justice to the Tamil People. The call by the new Sri Lankan government for a domestic or hybrid mechanism to replace any international judicial process is an attempt to deflect the call for referral to the ICC and to delay other meaningful actions on accountability. Efforts to establish a domestic Truth and Reconciliation Commission is another diversionary tactic to protect those who committed serious crimes against Tamils.

The current situation in Sri Lanka constitutes an ongoing “threat to the peace” under Chapter 7 Article 39 of the UN Charter, because there has been absolutely no accountability for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.

Until today we have received only 2 laks of signatures. It is shameful situation where more than 13 cores of Tamils are residing all around the world”.
