“Our relatives were killed by the Sri Lankan military in various attacks at the final stage of the war. The final stage of the war committed against the international laws with no evidence. I addressed the parliament about it several times. I asked the then government to stop the war immediately. But the government brought the war to an end by giving massive lose to the Tamils. Thus, enormous numbers of Tamils were killed. Large numbers of our relatives were disappeared. Homes and properties of our people were destroyed. We now demand the International Community to bring justice to the victims. May18 is declared as the “Tamil Genocide Day” and the day of mourning”
