A plea to take action against the war criminals who still wield an iron fist in Sri Lanka, hiding the horrific extermination of thousands of Tamils during the country’s long civil war.

Thousands died because of war crimes in Mullivaikal, Sri Lanka a year ago. Attend a Remembrance Event tonight at Brickfields Girls Guide Hall (or at least light a lamp at home). Sign Amnesty’s petition.
