I hope you will hear my story. I have family and friends that were wounded or killed by the Sri Lankan military offensive during the first five months of 2009. For decades, stories of Tamil suffering have been silenced by Sri Lanka's state oppression and intimidation. Due to Sri Lanka's culture of impunity and the international community's indifference to the plight of the Tamils, the deaths of my loved ones remain unaccounted for. I am urging you to act on the behalf of those whose lives were lost. Please recommend the Secretary General immediately initiate a full investigation into Sri Lanka's war crimes. This investigation would finally penetrate the cloak of silence surrounding the deaths of my loved ones.

Since Sri Lanka's independence, Tamils have an extensive history of systematic discrimination and genocidal assault. From past disenfranchisement to anti-Tamil riots, Sri Lanka has built a foundation in which Tamils are prevented from participating in crucial aspects of society. More recent food and medical embargoes, assault on press freedom, and coercive and violence tactics against humanitarian aid workers have highlighted the genocidal intent of Sri Lanka's government. The final indiscriminate military offensive was the culmination of decades of communal violence and state-sponsored racism towards Tamils. A UN official estimated between 10,000-40,000 deaths during the final days of the war in May, 2009.

Some of those deaths belong to family and friends of mine. Please ensure that their deaths do not remain ignored. Retribution and justice is crucial to securing peace for the Tamil population. Human rights organizations and democratic nations have called for an independent investigation into war crimes and crimes against humanity. Please join us in our search for peace and justice.

Sincerely,
