We Remain Hopeful Global Tamil Forum
Monday, December 23, 2013
With the idea of a South African style Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) being proposed for Sri Lanka, the Tamil Diaspora is keen to see how far such a process will go – if implemented. The Global Tamil Forum (GTF) has been very active on the Sri Lankan issue and has even had talks with the ruling African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa regarding Sri Lanka on many occasions. In an interview with The Sunday Leader, Suren Surendiran, Spokesperson for the GTF, shared the views of his organisation on a TRC in Sri Lanka.
Q: President Mahinda Rajapaksa had recently said the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) is keen to learn about the TRC process of South Africa. How does the Tamil Diaspora see the TRC process and the interest shown by Sri Lanka?
