Your letter can stop 1.9 billion dollars going to Sri Lanka's warcoffers. Every dollar to Sri Lanka kills innocent Tamils. Write nowand get your friends and families to do the same. Spread the message wide by circulating this message.
Stop the IMF funding to Sri Lanka - Save Lives.Currently, Sri Lanka is in negotiations with the InternationalMonetary Fund (IMF) for a loan of about 1.9 billion US dollars.Sri Lanka's war on Tamils have already claimed the lives of nearly3200 civilians and critically injured more than 9200 civilians, in thelast 75 days alone.
More than 300,000 Tamils have been made homeless.The failure of the Sri Lankan state to provide any forms of politicalsolution to the ethnic crisis and its ardent belief in the furthermilitarization at the expense of human lives, crumbling economy,failing human rights and humanitarian standards, and increasedalienation in the International community only shows Sri Lanka'sabsolute lack of serious commitment to work for the betterment of itspeople.
Therefore, one would be safe to assume that, any moneyprovided to Sri Lanka will only perpetuate the war on Tamils evenfurther.We therefore, call on you to act immediately to ensure the majorshareholders of the IMF don't provide the emergency loan sought by theGovernment of Sri Lanka.
