OHCHR fails to recognise de-Tamilisation @GGPonnambalam http://t.co/tIk6BWO9NO #hrc27 #Tamil #SriLanka

Mullivaikal would have happened 10 years earlier if not for Jeyanthan Regiment. But only 1 #Tamil leader dares to raise East issue at #HRC27

[Gajen Ponnambalam MP @GGPonnambalam]

My oral intervention at #UNHRC27 under item 10 today on the oral statement of #OHCHR re #lka. #tamil @TnpfOrg

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

OHCHR politics exposed as @GGPonnambalam notes Muslims & religious groups mentioned but main affected #Tamil identity avoided #HRC27

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

Will member states heed @GGPonnambalam's calls for strategy to ensure all victims in island give evidence

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

For first time in Geneva someone speaks for the forgotten #Tamils of Batti-Amparai as @GGPonnambalam recalls Vaharai 2007 massacre

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

Sampoor land grabs as concerning as Vali North @GGPonnambalam tells #HRC27 in Geneva

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

OHCHR needs to pay attention to East also @TnpfOrg @GGPonnambalam urges in his speech at #HRC27

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

@SLcampaign You have to appreciate East economic/education situation. And lack of diaspora from East.

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

@SLcampaign testimony is all we can do. Powers have not published imagery from East massacres. As oral update shows, East will be ignored

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

@SLcampaign No war crime. It's genocide.

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

@SLcampaign We don't have resources. Need OHCHR on ground. Diaspora orgs are north centric. No east leadership in diaspora

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

@SLcampaign Yes. Not just access, but all measures necessary to ensure victims can give evidence without fear of reprisals

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

@SLcampaign Vaharai massacre was 2006/07. Ltte governed much of east until 2006. Mullivaikal practice run was in East. Even you don't know

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

@SLcampaign update mentions ValiNorth, ignores Sampoor. Skew result of dependence on sources from outside island? East needs OHCHR on ground

[tamilvan @tamilvan]

@SLcampaign then it'll be north centric. How about Vaharai massacre / Sampoor land grab? No eastern in diaspora or their orgs
