January 27th, 2010
For Immediate Release
 
 
Three Refugee Advocates Detained by Indonesian Authorities for more than 11 hours
 
 
(Merak, Indonesia) - Tuesday afternoon three refugee advocates - Jessica Chandrashekar from Canada, Sara Nathan and Pamela Curr from Australia were detained by Indonesian authorities. After 11 hours the three individuals were released overnight but were taken in for questioning again today and still have not been released.
Ian Rintoul of the Refugee Action Coalition said the three were in Indonesia to meet with Indonesian officials and arrange humanitarian supplies for the 254 Tamil refugees. 'We are extremely concerned for their welfare and are demanding their immediate release,' Mr Rintoul said. 'Sara, Pamela and Jessica have done nothing wrong. They were in Merak because of their concern for the welfare of the people on the boat. The conditions on the boat are deteriorating day by day, and there is an urgent need for humanitarian supplies. They represent the international concern among refugee supporters and the Tamil community for the plight of the Tamil refugees at Merak.'

The asylum seekers, who have been living on a boat for over 100 days, are under threat of deportation back to Sri Lanka.  One asylum seeker has died from having been denied medical care.  Another person is in need of immediate medical attention for injuries sustained during the war.  There are 31 children on the boat and one pregnant woman. All of the asylum seekers are suffering from lack of food and medicine and the denial of medical attention.
 
The boat Australia bound was intercepted by Indonesian Navy upon Australia's request. Australia, as a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, has a responsibility to protect these refugees. Human rights advocates around the world are condemning Australia and Indonesia for stalling the refugee boat for the past four months.
 
Through community outreach and media campaigns, Canadian HART seeks to raise awareness about the human rights abuses against the Tamil minority population in Sri Lanka. Working in collaboration with labour unions, student groups, faith-based organizations and community organizations, Canadian HART aims to draw Canadian and international attention to the situation of Tamils in Sri Lanka and to push for an international presence and monitoring of the humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka.
 
For more information contact Canadian HART at (647) 836-6858.

A newspaper head gives collected money to the Sri Lankan war criminal head of state.

That state continues to rape and assault ethnic Tamils.

I'd be upset.

Thanks,
I wish the Canadian Media that covered the attack on the Tamil newspaper for giving money to the Sri Lankan dictator also covered the rape of the nine year old by 3 Sri Lankan soldiers that came out like 2 days ago and the serious violations of human rights abuses that the Canadian Tamils are concerned about. The news paper head and his buddies have lot of business interest in Colombo that the Tamil community here is well aware of, his paper has been running on loss for many years and the Tamil community is also aware of the source of funding he receives to maintain that newspaper. During the referendum vote the community held, his newspaper was instrumental in writing editorials to discourage people from voting by saying that the list of the voters will end up in the hands of the Sri Lankan government and it will be used to make sure that those who voted will never enter Sri Lanka and the relatives of those will be specifically targeted. The people I talked to were happy that there was a message sent to him but were sad that it had to be done this way. They are thinking about making sure he goes out of business for good or the Sri Lankan government wastes large of amount of money to maintain that paper with zero result. One of the reasons the Tamil community is holding elections and so on is to put an end to these self-appointed (Sri Lankan government sponsored) leaders of the Tamil community.

very interesting article on Sri Lanka's new women's manifesto from post #49

 

Quote:
They have seen and know our demands," Samuel said of the manifesto's creators. "In preparing this document, they have looked closely at these issues, which are in many ways a lot of what the women's movement has been saying over the years."

"It is something that can be done and is doable," said Nimalka Fernando, a women's rights campaigner. "These are issues we have been pushing for a while and I'm impressed by the document and the research that has gone into it."

At the very least, activists say, the manifesto reflects the depth of contribution women make to Sri Lanka. Noting that more than half of Sri Lanka's 20.5 million people are women, the document goes on to reel off relevant statistics, including the fact that 54 percent of the country's professionals are female, as are 58 percent of the university population, and 95 percent of garment industry workers.

About 65 percent of Sri Lankan workers in the Middle East are also women, while the tea sector also comprises a majority of women, the document points out. Sri Lanka's economy is dependent largely on garments and tea exports, as well as on remittances from migrant workers.

"Women are the backbone of the economy but we are a long way from securing equal rights for them," said Fernando, who is president of the Tokyo-based International Movement Against All Forms of Discrimination and Racism and the Women's Forum for Peace in Sri Lanka.

thirusuj, what do you think about the called for boycott?

»
Submitted by thirusuj on March 30, 2010 - 12:27pm.

These are my personal view.

The article on the women's manifesto is an election gimmick from the ruling party (from my point of view), once the election is done, more women will be packed to be sent to the Middle East to be maids and exploited; so don't get too excited about it. I feel pity for International media for not being able to do any investigative journalism because of the media restriction and the BBC Sinhala service is still in business trying to cover this kind of news which they know is election gimmick.

As for the call for boycott, it was initiated long before the idea of Global Tamil Forum even took to the public by country specific Tamil organizations that make up Global Tamil Forum. Global Tamil Forum is picking it up as it is an international organization that is capable of carrying out an international campaign. The aim of the boycott call is to drain any financial venue that Sri Lanka has or will have to finance the military or to maintain a functional state structure. Already, Sri Lanka is unable to do that, forcing them to go for loans that are given as development aid from countries like China/India/Pakistan with conditions (the Sinhalese people don't even realize how much they are selling themselves and how much they are plunging themselves into the geo-political influence game that is being played by China and India because the government has a blackout on information going to the public). The Tamil people are not gaining anything from the state and as for the historical records suggest, they never will either, so it will have pretty much no impact on the Tamils. Tamils are still able to survive because of the handouts from NGO's and the Tamil Diaspora that is able to send money to their relatives/friends and initiatives such as Project "Connecting Families" (http://www.canadiantamilcongress.ca/connectingfamilies/). Another aim is to hit the Sinhalese from the bottom; certainly it will increase poverty and bring suffering (a perfect ingredients for revolution). A successful boycott on playing cricket with Sri Lanka could send huge awareness campaign to the Sinhalese people and what more to come if they don't address the Tamil issues on the terms that the Tamils expects.

Sorry, I did not get back to this thread soooner, and thank you for your response....

Do you think a class revolution within the Sinhalese community would help the Tamils? As I am not quite sure what you meant with that comment.

Hear the higher Canadian dollar, is helping the disapora, from many countries, to send more actual money home.

Remind,

The last time their was an attempt on class revolution (JVP insurrection of the late 1980's), the poor section of the Sinhalese people were just brutalized with anyone with facial hair being shot or disappearing and their family going through torture. I am not sure if a class revolution will really help Tamils as Sinhalese chauvinism is widespread and precedes everything.


In my view, The Tamil Diaspora does not want the Sri Lankan state to be generating any kind of revenue or getting aid from other countries to maintain their military, planned colonization of Tamil areas, maintain the information blackout on the Sinhalese people, etc. Especially, since there is no LTTE to counter all these problems.

End of the road for Sri Lanka's left?
http://www.nst.com.my/articles/16lanka/Article/index_html [923]

Just remember that there are 50 000 + sinhalese soldiers located in the Jaffna alone with thier families. The individuals voted in the election might add up to 23% in Jaffna but if you look at the Tamils who would have voted would be in my guess be at 1% or less in Jaffna.

Ironic - Canadians' federal turnout in 2008 was only 59.1%. And I personally know some households of workers where the turnout was 0%. Didn't cause any consternation in Ottawa ruling circles.
