Peace in Sri Lanka is an illusion created by the government said the TNA's Eastern Province member, Mr. T. Kalaiyarasan, reports Uthayan.
Accusing the government of seeking to suppress the Tamil race through such illusions of peace, Mr. Kalaiyarasan said there was a need to fight for Tamil rights on the island.
Referring to the resolution being discussed on Sri Lanka at the UN Human Rights Council, Mr. Kalaiyarasan said that peaceful protests were taking place, in the hope that the resolution would be in favour of the Tamil people.
"We all need to work together to convey our problems to the International Community," said Mr. Kalaiyarasan.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
