GTF backs action against Lanka on the human rights front

Welcoming the TNA, TNPF and TMTK pushing for maximum possible action against the Sri Lankan government at the forthcoming 46th session of the Geneva –based UNHRC, the Global Tamil Forum (GTF) spokesperson Suren Surendiran told The Island: “Tamil community has waited for nearly 11 years for justice with successive governments fooling them with various commitments. This current government has publicly disowned any commitments made to the international community and now wants another commission to review findings of the various other commission findings”.

“Desperate and frustrated as the community, the political parties who represent them have come together to demand justice from the international community and expose the ingenuity of governments of Sri Lanka including the current one that no local mechanism will ever deliver justice to Tamil victims “, of what he claimed  were “heinous crimes”.
