Letter to @narendramodi through @IndiainSL re the 13th amendment:
'It is the duty of GoSL to implement what is already there in the Constitution. Deliverance of that constitutional duty is not what the Tamil people seek as a political solution'.

Our response to the Core Group on Sri Lanka's zero draft of a resolution for #hrc46:
'The resolution in its current form cannot be passed in the name of accountability and justice for the Tamil victim community:
First time ever that all Tamil political parties are advocating a common stand on post+war accountability. TCSF is a co-signatory.
In summary: Move accountability from Geneva to New York and get real on accountability.
Tamil parties unite behind call for Sri Lanka to face international accountability
In an unprecedented show of unity, major Tamil leaders and civil society groups declared that there is "no scope" for a domestic accountability mechanism within Sri Lanka.

Excellent set of questions by the @TamilCSF on #COVID19LK —including one on the social distancing infrastructure that will be used in schools to be opened up on May 11?

“We trust that all concerned will hence forth stop asking the Tamil people to be patient and trust in Sri Lanka's judicial system to deliver on accountability and justice. The only option for justice is through international institutions for criminal justice.” @tamilcsf statement

By pardoning Sunil Ratnayake @GotabayaR has nullified a very thin exception to the norm that Sri Lankan Armed Forces are above the law in relation to crimes committed against the Tamil people. Our statement:
'That President Rajapaksa has chosen to do it during a pandemic, in which the propaganda machine of the highly militarised state apparatus seeks to portray the military as the only credible public institution, is extremely manipulative'
