In July’s cruel fire, Tamil dreams turned to ash. Homes ignited, streets filled with sorrow, and innocence burned away. From the ashes, a fragile hope seeks justice and unity. #BlackJuly#SriLanka#NeverForget
A Chief Minister’s oath is not the beginning of power, but a test of responsibility.
The history of Eelam Tamils has been forgotten too many times… This time, it must be proven that silence is no longer an option. #WeRemember#TamilVoice

A tribute to a man of peace and vision!
I have used the weekend to watch Neelan Unsilenced, a wonderful documentary from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 written and produced by Pitasanna Shanmugathas.
It brought back so many memories from the Sri Lankan peace process.
The film follows my friend Neelan Thiruchelvam - a Tamil lawyer and politician who against high odds fought to bridge the divide between Singhala and Tamils in Sri Lanka. Neelan worked tirelessly to find constitutional solutions which could unite - and avoid war. He was also a global peacemaker and human rights activist. And a wonderful human being.
Sadly he became one of the many victims of the brutal conflict, murdered by a LTTE suicide bomber in 1999. Later Anton Balasingham, the LTTE leader who also worked for peace, said that Neelans constitutional proposals were the best which had been offered.
The film is a wonderful introduction to the constitutional issues at the core of the Sri Lankan conflict. You can watch the film for free here: https://t.co/mO55lnguPO

We demand the truth — and we demand justice for the Palestinian people.
Here’s why I’m tabling legislation in Parliament for an independent, public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in the Gaza genocide.

@tj747788 “Eliminated” is a nice way to say assassinated, tortured, and crushed dissent. Calling everyone a traitor won’t rewrite the truth: the LTTE didn’t unify Tamil voices - it silenced them. EROS wasn’t merged, it was muzzled. Stop mistaking fear for loyalty. #TruthMatters
Today we have suspended negotiations with this Israeli government on a new free trade agreement.
It is not possible to advance these discussions with a government that is pursuing egregious policies in the West Bank and Gaza.
