The All Party Parliamentary Group for Tamils (APPG-T) reiterated the importance of ensuring justice for abuses, in a statement released to mark Black July on Saturday.
James Berry, chair of the APPGT, spoke of remembering “up to 3000 men, women and children were killed in the anti-Tamil pogrom of July 1983,“ in the statement.
“The victims and their families never received justice, nor did the tens of thousands of internally displaced Tamils,” he said.
“That is why it is so important that we learn the lessons of Black July and do what we can to ensure justice for the victims of the more recent atrocities at the end of the Sri Lankan civil war.”
