I join Gary in condemning the arrest of the Mayor of Jaffna by the Sri Lankan government. I echo the call for his immediate release. This continuing unjust treatment of Tamils is unacceptable. I urge others to join in this call and to stand in solidarity with our Tamil community.
I strongly condemn the arrest of #Mayor of Jaffna V Manivannan by the Sri Lankan govt, and call for his immediate release.
The continued harassment & arbitrary arrests of members of the Tamil community including elected officials, journalists & human rights defenders must end.
As you watch MAGA protestors storm the capitol largely unimpeded, recall that BLM protestors were peacefully outside the White House and Trump had them dispersed with, what turned out to be, tear gas.
