Tamil people put through another round of ethnic cleansing
- Press release by Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs Spokesperson of the LTTE
The latest forced eviction by the Sri Lankan Government by physically pulling Tamils out of their residence in Colombo and bussing them to Northeast is yet another human rights violation against the Tamils in the on going program of ethnic genocide of Tamils.
For nearly half a century, beginning in 1958, Tamils have been subjected to such atrocities by the successive Sri Lankan Governments. This latest act of ethnic cleansing was committed amidst calls from the international community to improve the human rights situation. It was committed in Colombo while the Japanese Peace envoy, Yasushi Akashi, is in Colombo discussing with all sides the human rights situation in the island. It therefore should demonstrate to the international community the Sri Lankan Government’s true stance on the issue of the human rights of Tamils. We condemn this serious human rights violation of brutally evicting the very young, the very old, and the sick from their residence.
