Stop Sri Lankan Tamil’s Land Grab by Sri Lankan forces and Buddhist monks
Why this is important
After the
end of Civil war in Sri Lanka in May 2009, Tamils are facing more and more
hardship to carry on their livelihood. Winning the war against Tamil militant is
viewed by the Government of Sri Lankan as winning against Tamil people.
Government uses this as propaganda within the majority Sinhalese community to
gain popularity.
One of
the recent developments is Land Grab by Sinhalese forces. Our friends and
families lived in their land for whole lives in the land were chased out by
forces. Protests against the government were blocked and people are getting
warning by armed forces of the government. UN can take action against this
development.

Sri Lankan civil war was ended during 2009 May.
Still the wars on Tamils by the Sri Lankan forces are staged on their
livelihood. Government is targeting Tamils historical land, their cultural,
educational properties and values. More than 500,000 people are living outside
their homes. In the recent development, Sri Lankan government forces grab the
Lands own by Tamils and increase the speed of colonization with the poor
Sinhalese in their lands. Also, Hindu and Muslim religious places are targeted
by Buddhist monks to station Buddha statues to claim that they are Sinhalese
historical places. Last Monday a protest by leading Tamil political parties
rally against the Land Grab was blocked by Police in Jaffna, Northern Province
of Sri Lanka. A war crime alleged Sri Lankan Government and their forces
which are 98% of Sinhalese populated should stop threatening Tamils and Grab
their Lands. Please sign the petition against the Land Grab and UN can take
action against this.
