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 w...

Tamils CanNot Rely on Sri Lanka’s Elusive Promises Any Longer “They’re trampling on our graves with their boots,” lamented a Tamil woman named Kavitha, standing in ankle-deep mud at a former cemetery in Sri Lanka’s Northern Province. The cemetery, where her brother and other fallen Tamil rebels were once laid to rest, has long been bulldozed, replaced by a sprawling military base. Scenes like this capture the anguish and betrayal felt by Sri Lanka’s Tamil community , who years after the civil war’s end, still face militarization, discrimination, and broken promises at the hands of the state. For decades, successive Sri Lankan governments have pledged reconciliation, justice, and equality for Tamils, only to renege repeatedly once international pressure waned. These hollow assurances – often given to "Delay or seek to gain support internationally" – have led to a pattern of deceit so routine that many observers label it “Ranil’s Fox Tactics" , denoting the cunning, s...

Recent Allegations and Conflicts of Interest Concerning Minister Gary Anandasangaree  I extend my support to Minister Gary Anandasangaree. Edited by: Wimal Navaratnam, Human Rights Activist, Brampton, Ontario, Canada R ecent allegations questioning Minister Gary Anandasangaree’s advocacy for Tamil refugees—and unjustly linking his efforts to LTTE influence—must be addressed with facts, not political rhetoric. As someone deeply committed to human rights, I find it concerning that misinformation continues to distort public discourse. The refugees that Minister Anandasangaree has supported are not LTTE members. His work reflects Canada's values of justice and fairness, ensuring that all refugees, regardless of background, are protected, as long as they do not pose a security threat. Canada has long been a refuge for Tamil people fleeing persecution. Many Tamil Canadians, myself included, have witnessed firsthand the struggles faced by our community, both here and abroad. Mini...
