Maithripala must stop genocidal processes against Tamils and allow self-determination says TRC

The new president Maithripala Sirisena must stop the “vicious military occupation of the north,” and perpetuation of “genocide against the Tamil population,” whilst allowing Tamils to “determine their own future,” said the Tamil Refugee Council (TRC) in Australia.

The TRC convenor, Trevor Grant, further urged the Australian prime minister to push the new leadership in Sri Lanka towards “policies away from military-led repression to a new way that allows Tamils, in particular, to live the way they decide, and in peace and harmony.”
