Sri Lanka has one of the world's highest number of enforced #disappearances - 60,000-100,000 disappearances since the late 1980s. Witnesses and families seeking truth and justice are also vulnerable to threats, and those suspected of responsibility have never been prosecuted.

“I am confident that our people will, one day, achieve their freedom. It gives me great satisfaction and contentment that I am fulfilling a national responsibility to the nation.” - Lt Col Thileepan #WeRemember

Thileepan 1980s

Today is the 35th anniversary of the demise of Lt Col Thileepan on the 12th day of his fast unto death. Of his five demands, one was for the end of state sponsored colonisation in the North-East. But even now Sinhala settlements are being created in Tamil Eelam.

“May the people’s revolution burst, may a free Tamil Eelam blossom,” - Lt Col Thileepan

To mark the 36th anniversary of the sacrifice of Thiyaga Deepam Thileepan, the Tamil National People's Front embarked on a motor procession, setting off from Amparai on the 15th September. The memorial procession was attacked yesterday in the Sarthapura area, a Sinhala settlement in Trincomalee. #lka

18 years ago, the #lka Air Force dropped 16 bombs on the #Sencholai school, killing 53 Tamil schoolgirls, aged between 14 and 18, along with 3 teachers. They had gathered for first aid training but never made it out alive. 53 bright futures were extinguished in a single morning.

“We all know that the process of Genocide is continuing. In Eelam the colonization and the enslavement process in continuing, as the power of the LTTE is not there to stop it. The process of Genocide is continuing here too It is happening inside these buildings here in Geneva”

Staggering BBC News (World) can do a story on #srilanka that erases the war completely - rajapaksas they say known for 2022 economic crisis - but not crimes against humanity and war crimes! m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxm6eS…
