When I kept saying it was possible to provide a middle class tax relief the government said no that can’t. When we tabled calculation in @ParliamentLK they laughed. When we presented it in the #Blueprint3 now suddenly it is possible. Anyway glad our efforts have borne fruit.
It’s beyond my comprehension that Sri Lanka has literally allowed this beyond shameless family to run for presidential elections, two whole years after they effectively plunged the country into an economic crisis, allowing people to starve and die under numerous circumstances.
🔴 15 years today - A massacre in Mullivaikkal
The Sri Lankan military overruns the last remaining ‘No Fire Zone’.
A US State Department report says there are "accounts from witnesses in the NFZ of SLA soldiers throwing grenades into several civilian bunkers."

On the 15th anniversary of the genocide at Mullivaikal, @amnesty Secretary-General @AgnesCallamard has called on the international community to take decisive action by referring Sri Lanka to the United Nations Security Council with a view to an International Criminal Court investigation. Speaking to Tamil Guardian after attending the Mullivaikal commemoration today, Callamard highlighted the ongoing struggle for justice and the critical need for international intervention, including the application of universal jurisdiction to deliver justice when Sri Lankan war criminals travel abroad.

#Memorialisation#18May
1/15 yrs since end of the war, words are inadequate to express the grief, wounds, loss and strength of the people at Mullivaikkaal today. They endured atrocities and continue to resist oppression and denial of their rights, even right to mourn the dead.
This is so shockingly similar to final weeks of war in #SriLanka in 2009, where 10s of 1000s of Tamil civilians were killed as they were forced into a tiny strip of land along w/LTTE fighters & attacked. 15 years to the day & global governance system fails again. #Mullivaikkal
This is Jonathan Yudelman, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University, verbally abusing a Muslim woman, invading her personal space & forcing his body towards hers.
@princeton this is unacceptable and he must immediately be investigated.
Twitter, do your thing.

Hi @Israel
This is your soldiers who entered a house in Gaza and shared the underwear of the people who used to live in the house on Instagram.
Is this part of your “self-defense” strategy?
#Gaza#Mullivaikkal
1/Seeing posts on hypocrisy of west in enabling what’s happening in #Gaza vs their supposed condemnation and attempts to prevent SL govt actions in 2009. This isn’t entirely correct, because in 2009, intl community didn’t exactly strongly oppose SL action.
@livenationsg So disappointed with your system!! I entered the queue, and was taken to an empty page when it was my turn to purchase tickets!! So so disappointed
