Arrest the General #2 🧵 In 2018, the ITJP worked with Tamil diaspora organisations and Communications and Branding agency @T_E_M_P_L_O to develop a bold advocacy campaign for the UN Human Rights Council, calling attention to allegations against Sri Lankan General Shavendra Silva and demanding accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

UPDATE 2: After facing a massive backlash for 'recommending' Sri Lanka Customs to detain books by Tamil author P. Theepachelvan, Arts Council of Sri Lanka now claims that the decision was made by the Defence Ministry, which comes under the purview of President @anuradisanayake.

Seven years after the Sri Lanka Easter bombings, victims and their families are still waiting for truth and justice. Hundreds were killed in coordinated attacks on churches and hotels in 2019 and yet accountability remains incomplete. We must: • Demand independent investigations • Hold those responsible to account • Stand with victims’ families Read our new blog here: srilankacampaign.org/seven-years-af…

The Navy: A Collective Blind Eye #3 🧵 A 2019 report by the International Truth and Justice Project (ITJP) revealed the location of an underground torture complex within the Trincomalee naval base - one of the country’s most strategic security sites. For at least five years, during and after the war, scores of people were illegally detained and brutally tortured there.

Please come to Manipur in India for a ground assessment. It’s completely opposite of the UNDRIP Art. 7 that’s happening over here.

A 37-year-old Sri Lankan Tamil Hindu sits on dharna outside Mayiladuthurai Collector's office, barefoot, begging to be deported back to Sri Lanka after 25 years in India — "My life is like an orphan's." Yet Hindus fleeing Pakistan & Bangladesh get fast-track Indian citizenship under CAA. Sri Lankan Tamil Hindus? Denied the same path.Why? Because BJP knows they won't vote for them in Tamil Nadu.Selective citizenship for votes, not justice. #SriLankanTamils #CAAHypocrisy #TamilNadu #HindusInIndia

44 years ago today, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed into law. It laid the foundation for a stronger, more just Canada. It is up to us all to protect the values of freedom and equality enshrined in the Charter — to keep building a better Canada, for all.
