“In 2022, Canada’s Parliament unanimously voted to recognise May 18 as Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day and recognise the atrocities committed against Tamils in Sri Lanka as genocide – reflecting an important step in acknowledging this painful history.”

With so many conflicts raging in the world, we must do our best to promote peace and justice everywhere.

That’s why we recognize the Tamil genocide.

To honour the lives lost.

To honour survivors.

To ensure accountability for crimes against humanity.

Today, Tamils across Canada are coming together to mark Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day.

[Sameer Zuberi 🇨🇦 @SameerZuberi]

As Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day approaches, community gathered to pay tribute at an event hosted by Minister @gary_srp.

It was deeply moving to hear the stories of courage and resilience from survivors.

They stand as a reminder that such atrocities must never be repeated.

🚨 EDITORIAL - Legalising repression

There has been much consternation in recent weeks as the Sri Lankan government passed the Online Safety Bill, a new piece of legislation that essentially allows the state to police and prosecute what individuals and organisations post online. There have been remarks from the United Nations human rights office, diplomats from various Western countries and a host of NGOs – all of whom have expressed concern over the risks to freedom of expression on the island.

In the Tamil North-East, however, those concerns have long been a reality. Left unabated and unchallenged by the international community for years, that climate of repression has solidified and is now being rolled out across the island.

LEAD: ‘A betrayal beyond belief’ - Tamil Canadians vent their fury at CTC after meeting with Rajapaksa

For years the Canadian Tamil Congress (@ctconline) called for an international accountability mechanism for mass atrocities and for sanctions to be placed on Sri Lanka. Yet, last week, they met and posed for photographs with the man who bears chief responsibility for those very massacres.

Tamil Canadians across the political spectrum, and the country, are furious.
