The Ceylon Teachers Union has expressed its support for the signature campaign taking place across the North-East, calling for an international inquiry into war crimes and genocide committed against the Tamil people.
In a statement, the union said that “for Tamils, only international justice can be true justice.”
“For the perpetrators themselves to investigate their crimes, or for the international community to investigate jointly with the perpetrators, is something that goes beyond the bounds of human justice.”
The Union called on all members of educational and academic communities to support the campaign.
