THE SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT IS CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF THE TAMIL MINORITY AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IS JUST TURNING A BLIND EYE

SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT ATTACK CIVILIANS

STOP THE GENOCIDAL WAR IN SRI LANKA

• Over 100, 000 Tamil men, women and children have been killed.

• One million Tamils have fled the country.

• Over half a million Tamils have been displaced.

The Sri Lankan Government is currently engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the Tamil minority and the international community is just turning a blind eye.

A war that most people dont even know about a war not so different to Vietnam, the bombing of innocent civilians, schools, temples, orphanages, refugee camps and hospitals.

They are currently using food, water and medicine as a weapon of war against the Tamils.

The Government of Sri Lanka has removed all International Volunteer Organizations (INGOs) out of northern region where the conflict is taking place. And as the Government does not allow any International Media into the area there are NO WITNESSES of the ongoing Genocide and the unfolding Humanitarian crisis.

Due to the ongoing military offensive, over 300 000 people have been sqeesed into a very small area in the north east of Sri Lanka.On tuesday 25 th of january ICRC confirmed hundreds of innocent civilians had been.The Sri Lankan government have been firing multi barrel rocket launchers into the densely populated area, agreed by the government as the safety zone.

Many of these people are without shelter, food, clean water and inadequate medical supplies.

Recently the Sri Lankan Government has boasted that it has dropped so many bombs on its own civilians that it equals Hiroshima. It is the only country in the world to drop so many bombs on it own country to equate to a nuclear blast.

On Saturday 30th November 2008, just days before 120 countries signed up to a treaty banning the use of cluster bombs, the Sri Lankan Government dropped them onto a camp for Internally Displaced Persons.

Sri Lanka is one of the top eight 'red alert' countries where genocide is taking place. It is fourth in the world for using indiscriminate aerial bombardment on its own citizens, it comes after the Soviet Union, Iraq and Indonesia. Regardless of this Britain and many other countries still supplies them with arms.

Since 2005, the Sri Lankan Government has been responsible in Government controlled areas for 1500 extrajudicial killing of Tamil civilians, torture, scores of kidnappings and countless arbitrary detentions.

DEAR (name of your MP)

I am deeply concerned at the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka and I urge the British government to take immediate steps to assure a ceasefire and to deploy UN human rights monitors throughout Sri Lanka.

Over 250 000 Tamil civilians have been squeezed into a very small area, due to the recent government military offensive. After November 08 Cyclone Nisha and the last few years of heavy fighting many people are without shelter, food, water and inadequate medical supplies. But regardless of the humanitarian disaster the government of Sri Lanka continues to bomb their own people. We must bring an end to the suffering on the island before tens of thousands of civilians get caught in the cross fire.

Please sign the following early day motions immediately, the fate of so many is in your hands / EDM 398 EDM 559 EDM 590 EDM 641

Many Thanks
