We condemn unreservedly the protest staged outside @GGPonnambalam ‘s residence. The blatant effort to instigate racial hatred must be nipped in the bud.

On hold for 40 minutes to cancel a @skytv subscription.

Any service that can be ordered online should allow online cancellation when out of contract, in exactly the same amount of time it takes to sign up.

This basic piece of consumer protection should be the law of the land.

A moving morning, listening to these brave women and men who survived the horrific violence of Black July. Thank you for sharing your stories – I’ll never forget your strength, your resilience, or your optimism.

The always amazing @GGPonnambalam speaking truth to power as always.

MP from France speaks at their parliament asking to conduct an investigation on #TamilGenocide.
Accountability (& acknowledgment) for/of #TamilGenocide has been a topic across many Western nations this year.
Thank you @Aurelientache for your solidarity.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

I’m being trolled by an official Conservative Party account.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

Today, I’ve had Richard Tice, Aaron Banks and an official Conservative Party account (Enfield Southgate) orchestrating pile-ons against me.

I’ve never met or spoken to any of them.

Creepy…

Seven years ago, after the results of the Brexit referendum came through, this young woman was asked to put her thoughts about it on camera. Her eloquent words spoke for so many of us – and her worst fears have tragically come true.

[British Tamil Conservatives @BTConservatives]

And no mention of human rights! It why we as a community had no faith in you as head of mission. In fact you and your colleagues at the India and Indian Ocean Directorate have gone out of your way to suppress the Tamil identity. @SarahHultonFCDO @stephilli @SiobhanLatham @LisaFCDO @FCDO_Ben.

“As Sri Lanka takes forward its stated commitment to reconciliation, we stress the importance of transparency, accountability, inclusivity, and of building meaningfully on past work and recommendations that address the root causes of conflicts and impunity.” 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇲🇼🇲🇪🇲🇰🇺🇸

[Siobhain McDonagh @Siobhain_Mc]

Lots of British Tamils have loved ones who were subjected to enforced disappearances in Sri Lanka

The “Mass graves and failed exhumations” report published today documents this

We should send international observers to ensure proper evidence collection is taking place

[Dr. Thusiyan Nandakumar @Thusi_Kumar]

As @ramakrishnannn so succinctly puts it, you don’t have to be a fluent Tamil speaker to be proud of your culture or history.

Love to see it.

Remember doing a story back in 2018 saying that roaming charges were going to return for British travellers after Brexit. Govt at the time said it was v unlikely because companies wouldn’t do it. Others dismissed as more scaremongering etc.

[Senate Foreign Relations Committee @SFRCdems]

While I welcome the release of MP @GGPonnambalam, I’m deeply concerned by his arrest, intimidation and harassment. I’m also concerned about ongoing reports of intimidation and harassment by Sri Lankan security and intelligence to try to silence ethnic and religious minorities.

[Sam Tarry @SamTarry]

The arrest of @GGPonnambalam MP is another example that elected representatives of Tamils in Sri Lanka are not safe to articulate their people's aspirations of justice for war-crimes and self-determination.

The international community and @FCDOGovUK must condemn this arrest.
