| TAMIL PEOPLE STATEMENT: Wherever minorities are being persecuted we must raise our voices to protest. According to reliable sources, the Tamil people are being disenfranchised and victimized by the Sri Lanka authorities. This injustice must stop. The Tamil people must be allowed to live in peace and flourish in their homeland. - Elie Wiesel, June 30th 2009 SAMPLE FAX Sent @212 490 6006 Dear Mr. Elie Wiesel;
Re: Thank you for your strong voice on Tamils in Sri Lanka
I take this opportunity to thank you for your strong voice and comment on the Tamils' plight in Sri Lanka . I am sure, that world will take a serious note of your statement on Sri Lanka and do its utmost to bring sustainable peace to Tamils in Sri Lanka by bringing an acceptable political solution based on Tamils' Right to Self-Determination.
I also wanted to use this opportunity to bring your attention to the undemocratic and authoritarian action by the Government of Sri Lanka as Sri Lanka continue to detain men, women, children and infants in their hundreds of thousands (Close to 300,000) behind the barbed wires under heavy military presents for many months with inadequate food, medicines, and other basic essentials in 40 odd Nazi style concentration camps under improper hygiene, inadequate shelter, and a lack of water, food and medical treatment by Sri Lanka even after the war is over.
We must expose Sri Lanka for continuing to prevent aid agencies and independent journalists to these camps as many NGOs pointed out this is dire violation of international humanitarian laws.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours truly,
|
