Solidarity Statement for the Chemmani Vigil — “Anaiya Vilakku”

We stand in unwavering solidarity with the families of the disappeared, the youth of Makkal Seyal, and all who gather in Chemmani from June 23 to 25, holding vigil under the unquenchable lamp. This peaceful protest is not merely a cry for justice—it is an act of remembrance, resistance, and deep moral clarity.

We echo the demands for the exhumation of Chemmani's mass graves under international supervision. The truth buried in that soil belongs not only to the families who have waited decades—it belongs to the world.

SIGN THE PETITION:

We honour the courage of those who carry photographs of their loved ones in trembling hands. We recognize the urgency with which survivors and activists refuse to let history be rewritten or forgotten. And we commend the youth who light the way forward with art, poetry, and sacrifice.

As the UN Human Rights Chief visits the region, we urge the international community to listen—not only with ears, but with conscience. Justice delayed is justice denied, and the lamps at Chemmani must not burn in vain.

Until every grave is named, every story acknowledged, and every mother’s cry answered—**we will not look away.**
