“I will make my people ungovernable!” Rajavarothiam Sampanthan exclaimed, banging on the table.

Ed Davey, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, is a longtime supporter of the Tamil community. Under his leadership, the Liberal Democrats have called on the Conservative government to recognise the crimes committed against the Tamil people as a genocide and for those who committed these crimes to be held to account.

He is clear: ‘We cannot end the search for justice.’  And I couldn't agree more.

As a longstanding ally of the Tamil community, I am happy to represent the Tamil community and fight for our shared values, mutual respect, and a commitment to justice and prosperity for all. As we approach a crucial election, it is important for the Tamil community to reflect on the significant strides we have made together and to consider the path forward. I urge you to vote Conservative, a party that has consistently demonstrated its unwavering support for Tamils both locally and internationally.

Writing on the anniversary of the Mullivaikkal genocide, Madura Rasaratnam, Interim Executive Director of PEARL & Ambikai Akilan, Advocacy Officer of PEARL, detail the need to hold Sri Lanka accountable for the war crimes committed in 2009. These crimes continue to afflict the island and Sri Lanka provides a useful lesson for the Israel-Gaza conflict, the piece maintains.

Writing in Scroll.In, Meenakshi Ganguly, the Deputy Asia Director at Human Rights Watch (HRW) stated that the "unaddressed legacy of war" has led to Sri Lanka's "abuse, impunity and misgovernance that still blight the country."

Ganguly highlights that although 15 years have passed since the genocide at Mullivaikkal, there has been no justice or accountability for the Tamil community.
