PDF Editor FAQ

What are your thoughts on death of more than 70 children due to lack of Oxygen in Gorakhpur hospital under the BJP government?

While opinions flow through print, television and social media (including on Quora as this question thread shows) regarding who is responsible for the deaths of the 70 children in a single hospital over such a short period of time, no one seems to be talking about the core issues regarding public healthcare in India. There has been a carefully constructed distance between the ruling state party and the tragedy that has unfolded. This is to ensure that the Yogi Adityanath led BJP is not directly blamed for the tragedy. While one can understand why the government would be in this defensive mode what one fails to understand is why our system being questioned is seen as a bad thing.Do our governments owe no responsibility or accountability for healthcare coverage for the masses?Is the cost of a human life determined by the ability of that human to pay?I also want to provide clarity for those who are vehemently defending the government and CM with the following arguments:Government hospitals have always had poor infrastructure and hospital deaths are very common in India- so why blame the government for this “one isolated incident”?Doctors and hospital administrators were responsible for the deaths- why should people blame the government for that?The BJP government is only 5 months old. How can they be held responsible for the previous decades of misrule and poor governance?The government has no money (the most amusing argument) and hence cannot match private health infrastructure.I will answer those at the end of this piece but shall we get the facts first?India’s Under 5 Mortality Rate (U5MR), Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) , Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) is among the highest in the world since several decades and it has not declined in the time since.Just for comparison let us just compare with China as it started out at almost the same time as Independent India with a population to match during the same time period. Do remember that China’s GDP per capita was less than India’s till the early 1990s. I have used this neat tool from the UNICEF website to compare child mortality estimates between India and China. [1][1][1][1]The top three lines on the graphs belong to India and the bottom three belong to China. One can see how poorly we have performed in terms of healthcare since independence.IMR is not an isolated statistic. IMR infact represents the health of our healthcare system. A high IMR is indicative of a poor healthcare system. Not surprisingly, India has one of the highest IMR in the world comparable to some of the strife ridden African countries.Ali Medhi - Head of Health Policy Initiative at ICRIER, Delhi gives some interesting figures in his recent article about the Gorakpur tragedy. [2][2][2][2]India has been the world’s largest contributor to all levels of child deaths since 1953 – the first year for which we have Indian data available. Starting out with nearly 4.7 million deaths a year under the age of five years (U5), it took us almost three decades to bring them down to 4 million a year.Between 1969 and 1979 China reduced U5 deaths by 2.4 million, the highest in a decade in any country in recorded history. The beginning of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) did accelerate the pace of progress in India, but China again outperformed us. As did our neighbours Maldives, Nepal and Bangladesh between 1990 and 2015, to achieve their MDG targets on child survival.The story has been similar at lower levels of child survival as well. At the neonatal level (ie during first 28 days of birth), the Bimaru states accounted for 55% of all deaths in the country in 2011 – UP (27%), MP and Bihar (10% each) and Rajasthan (8%) – and 15% of the global burden. While China performed even better at this stage, with a 90% decline in number of neonatal deaths during the MDG period, we had 695,852 neonates dying in 2015 – more than 7 times China’s.As stated in my recent answer to How does healthcare work in your country?:Public healthcare expenditure via government funding is around 1.3% of GDP - which is among the lowest in the world. [3][3][3][3]Some more relevant facts pertaining to healthcare in India, the BJP and the Gorakpur tragedy:Health is a state subject not a union subject, so healthcare is the responsibility of the state government.The central BJP government slashed the healthcare budget by 20% in it’s first budget after coming to power in 2014- India slashes health budget, already one of the world's lowest and has been reducing it every yearYogi Adityanath is a 5 time MP from the Gorakpur consituency where Japanese Encephalitis is endemic since 3 decades. Despite being an MP for such a long time, even civic infrastructure projects in the region are in poor conditions and sanitation levels are abysmal in the region. Yet he has the gall to blame sanitation and hygiene for the deaths.Japanese Encephalitis kills nearly 1500–2000 children every year in India-500 of those in the Gorakpur region alone. The deadly virus is spread by the mosquito as a vector. Mosquito as we all know breeds in places where there is poor hygiene and sanitation. The disease is known to be fatal to the most malnourished children of the community. Public sanitation and child nutrition comes under the direct purview of the state government.The administration has known about the oxygen shortage from the beginning of August as seen from this ANI report detailing letters written to the authorities- the principal, Chief Superintendent and nodal officer of the NHRM. However all of them were so full of greed that they silently watched as the oxygen supplies depleted.[4]Now let me come to the arguments that have distanced the government from any responsibility. I think the following paragraphs will bust those arguments.By pinpointing the tragedy to a few causes like lack of oxygen or corrupt babus and doctors or greedy suppliers, unclean environments- the government is oversimplifying the problem as it often does. The problem is the broken system and not individual issues. The public healthcare system in states like UP, Bihar, Odhisha and West Bengal are so terrible due to years and years of neglect. This has given rise to corruption among healthcare providers because private healthcare centers have sprung up everywhere in those states and holding the population to ransom because no one wants to go to a government hospital to die. This coupled with high proportion of unemployment in these states makes sure that people who are not able to afford private healthcare are at the mercy of the bursting at the seams- public healthcare delivery system. Many of the doctors working in the government hospitals are corrupt and siphon off funds meant for public health.The talk of the lack of funds at the hospital’s disposal seems to be a load of lies as seen in from data provided in this article.The lack of payment by BRD Medical College does not seem to be restricted to the oxygen supply company. The salaries of at least 400 medical personnel who are involved in the treatment of encephalitis at the medical college have not been paid for many months. Doctors at the physical and medicine and rehabilitation unit have not been paid for 27 months and neonatal unit staff have not received their salaries in six months, it said.The reason for the lack of payments is unclear. In 2014, the BRD Medical College received Rs 150 crore – Rs 120 crore from the Centre and Rs 30 crore from the state government – under a scheme to upgrade medical college institutions under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana.In October 2016, The Times of India reported that BRD Medical College was among several hospitals in the state that had not fully utilised funds allotted to them under the state government’s Asadhya Rog scheme. BRD Medical College had used just Rs 15.56 lakh of the Rs 4.5 crore that was allocated to it three years earlier in 2013.Clearly someone else is eating up the money that was meant for improving infrastructure and paying salaries of medical personnel. It is an open secret in the public healthcare sphere that to release government funds, enough money filled suitcases have to exchange hands.If you don’t pay doctors and other medical personnel for months together, they will obviously find less ethical ways to earn their livelihood as they also have to put food on the table. Doctors will do private practice even though they are not supposed to as they need pay their bills.For such a large state such as UP, there are only 25 medical colleges, out of which 15 are private medical colleges.[5][5][5][5] Clearly those medical colleges are not enough for the most highly populated state in India. We need more government hospitals, more government doctors, more healthcare workers and better healthcare facilities- in these type of under-served areas. Governments should prioritize public healthcare as electoral reforms and not farmer loan waivers to woo voters. The priorities of the UP government can be gauged by the fact that they have now have cow ambulances and hospitals for cows in UP but no new government hospitals for humans who cannot pay. The cost of a human life in India has gone below the cost of a cow’s life. In Yogi Adityanaths Uttar Pradesh, cows get an ambulance serviceIn this tragedy, Japanese Encephalitis -on which the death have been blamed on- can be reduced drastically just by improving the sanitation, hygiene, vaccination, public education and improved nutrition. If the civic bodies had concentrated on those basic and less expensive things, many of those unfortunate children who died would not be in the ill fated hospital in the first place. If the Swatch Bharath Abyiyan program was followed to its spirit, the government would not have blood on it’s hands now.Governments cannot put their hands up in the air and say. “We are overwhelmed and under-resourced”. The government’s job is to look for solutions. They were elected for that purpose- to take care of it’s citizens. Their job is not do the finger pointing as if they were a kid caught with his hands in the cookie jar. It is their job to put their hand up and take responsibility. In any other part of the world, this type of state negligence would be considered state sponsored murder and many of the ministers’ and officers’ heads would roll.But not in India!They have predictably found a few scapegoats to blame the debacle on, successfully diverted the issue so far away from the real problems that things will be conveniently forgotten by the public and the media soon. The system however remains the same and new corrupt people will come to take the place of those who vacated their places or the present scapegoats will get away using the same corrupt state machinery to reclaim their old spots.Not one person from the government has taken responsibility for this tragedy and there was not even a token statement that they will take steps to prevent this from happening again. While the honorable prime minister of our country has time to tweet about even smaller international tragedies, this massacre in a single government hospital in his own country doesn’t find any mention.To fix a problem, one needs to acknowledge the problem. If you keep denying to see what the problem is, you will never fix anything. As I pointed out earlier, we have already missed the healthcare bus several decades ago and now we are not even bothered to catch up with it!Footnotes[1] CME Info - Child Mortality Estimates[1] CME Info - Child Mortality Estimates[1] CME Info - Child Mortality Estimates[1] CME Info - Child Mortality Estimates[2] http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toi-edit-page/who-will-save-our-children-go-beyond-immediate-causes-and-buck-passing-on-gorakhpur-child-deaths-fix-systemic-failures/[2] http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toi-edit-page/who-will-save-our-children-go-beyond-immediate-causes-and-buck-passing-on-gorakhpur-child-deaths-fix-systemic-failures/[2] http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toi-edit-page/who-will-save-our-children-go-beyond-immediate-causes-and-buck-passing-on-gorakhpur-child-deaths-fix-systemic-failures/[2] http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toi-edit-page/who-will-save-our-children-go-beyond-immediate-causes-and-buck-passing-on-gorakhpur-child-deaths-fix-systemic-failures/[3] Japanese encephalitis to Superbug NDM-1: the diseases that attacked India in 2014[3] Japanese encephalitis to Superbug NDM-1: the diseases that attacked India in 2014[3] Japanese encephalitis to Superbug NDM-1: the diseases that attacked India in 2014[3] Japanese encephalitis to Superbug NDM-1: the diseases that attacked India in 2014[4] A tragedy foretold: The questions Uttar Pradesh government must answer for Gorakhpur deaths[5] What the Gorakhpur Tragedy Tells Us About India's Public Healthcare System[5] What the Gorakhpur Tragedy Tells Us About India's Public Healthcare System[5] What the Gorakhpur Tragedy Tells Us About India's Public Healthcare System[5] What the Gorakhpur Tragedy Tells Us About India's Public Healthcare System

What was the Tamil genocide in 2009?

The Tamil genocide didn’t just commence in 2009, it was systematic throughout Sri Lanka’s post colonial rule, under the Sinhala Buddhist dominated government. 2009 was just the peak of the genocide.Short AnswerThe Sri Lankan government, lead by the Sinhala Buddhist majority, attempted to alienate the Tamil population politically and economically. They implemented a series of anti-Tamil legislation, hoping to deteriorate the influence of Tamils on the island. They condoned and acted complicit in anti-Tamil riots and violently suppressed peaceful Tamil demonstrations. The demand for equality, neglected by the state, fuelled the ambition for a separate Tamil state. The lack of respect for peaceful protests inevitably engulfed support for an armed struggle. During the war, the SLA pioneered the use of rape, torture, kidnapping, indiscriminate firing, shelling and bombings against Tamil civilians.In total, an estimate of 150,000 - 200,000 Tamil civilians were killed by the government100,000 of which were killed between March 28th - May 18th 2009 when the government packed 300,000+ Tamils in internationally recognized “NO FIRE ZONES” and were then shelled with artillery and other heavy weaponry.40,000 of those were killed on the beaches of Mullivaikal between April 26th - May 18th 2009After the war had ended, hundreds of thousands of Tamil civilians were rounded up and sent to internment camps. Many Tamils would die of malnutrition, dehydration, disease and suicide. Thousands were taken for interrogation by the army only to never be seen again, as such, making Sri Lanka 2nd in the world in disappearances. After the war, Tamils are subjected to heavy militarization, “land grabs” by the state, forced implementation of Buddhist sites, intimidation, torture and arbitrary detention. The acts of genocide committed by the government has convinced many in the international community to recognize the Tamil Genocide and advocate for an international human rights tribunal against the government, something the government is strongly against for evident reasons.*Please take time to watch Sri Lanka’s Killing FieldsLong Answer(Full analysis):Post colonial anti-Tamil legislation(1948–1977)Citizenship Act(1948)After the country’s independence, the new government, dominated by the Sinhala majority Sinhalese passed the Ceylon Citizenship Only act.The Bill intended to discriminate against Indian Tamils by denying them citizenship, hence, preventing them from votingIndian Tamils made up 11.7% of the SL population in 1948 compared to 4.1% in 2019The Act specified that anyone wishing to obtain citizenship had to prove that they were, at least, 3rd generation immigrants, which was an impossible task for the majority of Indian TamilsThose who were, at least, third-generation immigrants rarely had the necessary documentation since they rarely registered births or printed birth certificates, hence, they could not prove they were citizens and were deportedAbout 5,000 Indian Tamils qualified for citizenship while over 700,000 Indian Tamils, who made up about 11% of the population, were denied citizenship and deported. The Act successfully disenfranchised plantation Tamils, and significantly dropped the voting power of the Tamil populationAmita Shastri, political science professor at the university of San Fransisco has stated:This orientation was made evident in the citizenship and franchise laws Sri Lanka passed soon after independence to exclude the plantation Tamil workers from the political nation. The actions of the Sinhalese elite led by D.S. Senanayake were loaded with an anti‐working class and ethnically divisive content that has been neglected in previous studies. The new laws distorted the pattern of political incentives, alignments and party competition in the emerging system, and systematically skewed it to favour the most traditional segment of the Sinhalese electorate. This created an intractable dynamic of ethnic outbidding between the two major Sinhalese‐dominated parties to attract the Sinhalese voting base, at the expense of the Sri Lankan Tamil minority. This directly contributed to the latter's alienation, support for secessionism, and the outbreak of ethnic violence and civil war in the 1970s and 1980sSinhala Only Act(1956)By independence, Tamils made up over 30% of government services admissions, and it’s estimated that Tamils constituted 50% of the clerical personnel of the railway, postal and customs services, 60% of all doctors, engineers and lawyers, and 40% of other labor forcesDespite Sri Lankan Tamils only making up around 15% of the populationIn the 1956 parliamentary elections, the SLFP, led and founded by Solomon Bandaranaike, campaigned on largely nationalist policies, and made the one of their key election promises. Thus, the Sinhala Only Bill was quickly enacted after the election. The bill was passed with the SLFP and the UNP supporting it, with the leftist LSSP, Communist party of SL and Tamil parties opposing itThe policy, being severely discriminatory, placed the Tamil population at a "serious disadvantage" and prevented them from attaining high positions in politics and federal servicesSinhala academic, A. M. Navaratna Bandara, states:"The Tamil-speaking people were given no option but to learn the language of the majority if they wanted to get public service employment. [...] A large number of Tamil public servants had to accept compulsory retirement because of their inability to prove proficiency in the official language [...]" The effects of these policies were dramatic as shown by the drastic drop of Tamil representation in public sector: "In 1956, 30 percent of the Ceylon administrative service, 50 percent of the clerical service, 60 percent of engineers and doctors, and 40 percent of the armed forces were Tamil. By 1970 those numbers had plummeted to 5 percent, 5 percent, 10 percent, and 1 percent, respectively."As such, most of the government positions and services in the 1960’s were virtually unavailable to Tamils, and this situation only escalated the rise of Tamil nationalismStandardization(1971)The government, lead by PM Sirimavo Bandaranaike, implemented a policy of standardization, a modern day essence affirmative action, to assist Sinhala students to gain better post-secondary educationSinhala nationalists and politicians sought to dilate Tamil presence in education and, thus, also in the professions and civil administrationFrom 1971 to 1977 , the “standardization” policy ensured that the number of students qualifying for university entrance from each language was proportionate to the number of students who sat for university entrance examination in that language. Meaning, that Tamil speaking students had to score much higher than Sinhalese speaking students to gain admission to universitiesNot only did the chances of Tamils to gain access to higher education plummet, but so did the overall process of ethnic relationsThe benefits enjoyed by Sinhalese students also meant a significant fall in the number of Tamil students within the Sri Lankan university student populace.Sri Lankan Tamils, although making up of around 15% of the population, made up 70–80% of university students in the countryTamils constituted 35% and over 45% of students in Medical schoolsThe act significantly dropped the number of Tamils enrolled in universities on the islandUniversity admissions process in 1971 was calculated considerably based on the language of said applicant. Numbers of allocations were proportional to the number of participants who sat to the examination in that language.In 1969, the Northern province, which is 94% Tamil and makes up 7% of the general population, provided 27.5 percent of the entrants to science-based courses in Sri Lankan universitiesStandardization had reduced this to 7%.However, the hardest hit population group were the Tamils in the Western provinces,Colombo and etc, which contained 26%. In 1969, the Western Province provided 67.5 percent of it to admissions to science-based courses.Standardization reduced it to 27%Sinhala historian, C.R. de Silva states:“By 1977 the issue of university admissions had become a focal point of the conflict between the government and Tamil leaders. Tamil youth, embittered by what they considered discrimination against them, formed the Tamil United Liberation Front(TULF). Many advocated the use of violence to establish a separate Tamil state of Eelam. It was an object lesson of how inept policy measures and insensitivity to minority interests can exacerbate ethnic tensions”Many Tamil youths, disfranchised by standardization, began studying aboard, working labour jobs or joining armed guerrilla movements, like the Tamil New Tigers, renamed LTTE in 1976Anti-Tamil riots1956 Gal Oya riotsDeath toll: 150 Tamil civilians and 100+ severely woundedPerpetrators: Sinhalese mobsSri Lanka’s first ethnic/anti-Tamil riotViolence took place in Colombo and Batticaloa as well, but the worst of the violence took place in Gal Oya valley, where local majority Sinhalese colonists and employees of the Gal Oya Development Board(GODB) used government vehicles, dynamite, knives and other weapons and to massacre Tamils in the areaProperties owned by Tamils, were looted and burned down. In the following days, rumours began to spread that a Sinhalese girl had been raped and made to walk naked down the street in Batticaloa by a Tamil mobThis was later proved to be false, but the rumour had already inflamed the mobs and led to further massacres and property destructionThe police ignored the violence and remained in active , but they eventually intervened and stabilized the situation.Federal Party protestors were attacked by a Sinhalese mob that was led by NLF leader KMP RajaratneThe same mob, after listening to a speech by populist Sinhalese politicians urging them to boycott Tamil business, went on a looting spree in the city, burning and looting Tamil businesses.Over 150 Tamil owned shops were looted and many people were hospitalized for their injuries1958 pogrom158–1500 Tamil civilians and some Sinhalese civilians died in the pogrom and 1000+ were severely woundedPerpetrators: Sinhalese mobsAlthough most of the victims were Tamils, some Sinhalese civilians were killed by Sinhalese mobs who attacked said Sinhala’s who provided sanctuary to TamilsPM Bandaranaike referred to the death of DA Seneviratne, Nuwara Eliya mayor, as the cause of the riots. Hence, giving the Sinhalese the notion that Tamils were responsible for the riots.This resulted in mobs laucnching acts of violence against Tamils across countryMobs would beat Tamils, burn&loot shops, rape Tamil women, and burn housesIn Kantale, Sinhalese rioters stopped buses that were entering the city and killed anyone who was unable to recite a Buddhist verseVictims who were murdered included Sinhalese Christians.In Pandura, a rumour, spread that Tamils had preceded to torture and murder a Sinhala school teacher in Batticaloa. The rumour was later proven to be false as subsequent investigations proved that there was no female Sinhala teacher from Panadura stationed in Batticaloa, but the damage had already been done. As a result, a Sinhalese mob attempted to burn down the Hindu Kovil temple. They were unable to do so, however, they forced the priest out of the temple, tied him to a tree and then preceded to burn him aliveThis incident, one of many, was one that Prabhakaran grew up hearing as a child. When hearing this for the first time, Prabhakaran asked “ why didn’t the priest hit back”. No one really had an answer to his question, however, Prabhakaran decided that he would do what the priest couldn’t, he would “hit back”Gangs roamed Colombo, looking for people who might be Tamil. The usual way to distinguish Tamils from Sinhalese was to look for men who wore shirts outside of their pants, or men with pierced ears.As such, people who could not read a Sinhala newspaper, which includes Sinhalese that were educated in English, were beaten or killed.One trick used by the gangs was to disguise themselves as policemen. They would tell Tamils to flee to the police station for their safety. Once the Tamils had left, the empty houses were looted and burned. Across the country, arson, rape, pillage and murder spread. The state police is accused of being complicit and even organizing several riotsSinhalese that protected their Tamil neighbours by using their homes as shelters had their homes burned down "had their brains strewn about".Sinhalese laborers of the Land Develop­ment and Irrigation Department (LDID) from Padaviya formed a mob, armed with guns , and began roaming the northern border areas in trucks. Though they planned on going to Anuradhapura, they took an indirect route on the Padaviya—Kebitigollewa—Vavuniya Road to outmaneuver the army, attacking any Tamils they could find on the way.Prabhakaran’s had family members and family friends who were victims of the 1958 pogrom. Listening to their stories and looking at their wounds perpetuated his belief that an armed struggle was the only optionPrabhakaran’s statement on the riot in his 1984 interview with CNN correspondent, Anita PratapThe shocking events of the 1958 racial riots had a profound impact on me when I was a schoolboy. I heard of horrifying incidents of how our people had been mercilessly and brutally put to death by Sinhala racists. Once I met a widowed mother, a friend of my family, who related to me her agonizing personal experience of this racial holocaust. During the riots a Sinhala mob attacked her house in Colombo. The rioters set fire to the house and murdered her husband. She and her children escaped with severe burn injuries. I was deeply shocked when I saw the scars on her body. I also heard stories of how young babies were roasted alive in boiling tar. When I heard such stories of cruelty I felt a deep sense of sympathy and love for my people. A great passion overwhelmed me to redeem my people from this racist system. I strongly felt that armed struggle was the only way to confront a system which employs armed might against unarmed, innocent people1977 pogrom300 Tamil civilians and some Sinhalese civilians died in the pogrom and 1000+ were severely woundedPerpetrators: Sinhalese mobsIn 1974, the major Tamil poltical parties, who’s primary goal was to represent Tamils in the North&East, joined forces under one party, the Tamil United Liberation Front(TULF)In 1976 they adopted a resolution at their party convention in Vaddukoddai, Jaffna calling for a separate state (Tamil Eelam).The Tamil districts in the 1977 election, almost unanimously, voted for TULF which gravely enraged JR Jayawardene who was convinced that TULF had links with Tamil militant groupsIt’s to note that by 1977, Tamil militant groups began orchestrating attacks against the Sri Lankan army and police forceJayawardene tried to suppress both groupsThere isn’t a universally accepted reason for the riots, but most speculate that it began with a dispute that began when four policemen entered a carnival without tickets. Apparently the policemen were inebriated and proceeded to attack those who asked for tickets. The conflict escalated and the policemen were beaten up by the public and in retaliation the police officers opened fireOthers have the view that the carnival incident was a pretext, inquiries revealing that it was conducted in an organized manner and was hence a pre-planned attack. The riot started on August 12, 1977, within less than a month of the new government taking officeOver 75,000 Tamils were victims of racial violence and were forced to relocate to parts of the northern and Eastern provincesThe events during the pogrom radicalized Tamil youths, convincing many that the TULF's strategy of using legal and constitutional means to achieve independence would never work, and armed struggle was the only to achieve equal rights and independence.The pogrom highlighted TULF's failure to provide security for the mainland Tamil population.It was only after the pogrom that TELO and the LTTE began to openly advocate for an independent Tamil Eelam Later, a TULF activist, Uma Maheswaran, would join the LTTE and would later leave to become the leader of TELO Many TULF activists began to follow in his footsteps and join various Tamil militant groups to fight for independenceWalter Schwarz wrote in Minority Rights Group Report of 1983:The trouble (in 1977) began in Jaffna, capital of the Northern province, when Sinhala policemen, believed to have been loyal to the defeated Sri Lanka Freedom Party of Mrs. Bandaranaike, acted provocatively by bursting into a Tamil carnival. In the violent altercation that followed the police opened fire and four people were killed. A wave of rioting followed, spreading quickly to the south. Among 1,500 people arrested were several well known Sinhalese extremists, accused of instigating violence against TamilsEdmund Samarakkody in Workers Vanguard (New York) stated:The outbreak in mid-August (1977) of the anti-Tamil pogrom (the third such outbreak in two decades) has brought out the reality that the Tamil minority problem in Sri Lanka has remained unresolved now for nearly half a century, leading to the emergence of a separatist movement among the Tamils. As on previous occasions, what took place recently was not Sinhalese – Tamil riots, but an anti-Tamil pogrom. Although Sinhalese were among the casualties, the large majority of those killed, maimed and seriously wounded are Tamils. The victims of the widespread looting are largely Tamils. And among those whose shops and houses were destroyed, the Tamils are the worst sufferers. Of the nearly 75,000 refugees, the very large majority were Tamils, including Indian Tamil plantation workers.Burning of the Jaffna public library(1981)Perpetrators: UNP sponsored paramilitiasThe Jaffna public library, established in 1933The library held archival material written in palm leaf manuscripts, original copies of regionally important historic documents dating back hundreds, if not thousands, of years, political history of Sri Lanka and newspapers that were published hundreds of years ago in the Jaffna Kingdom. Thus, making it the largest historical library in the Indian subcontinent, if not all of Asia, and symbolic for the Tamil peopleThe library became the pride of the local people as even researchers from India and other countries began to use it for research and academic purposesOn May 31st, May 31, 1981, TULF held a rally where which 3 Sinhala policemen were killed by Tamil militanAs a result, police and paramilitary officers began a pogrom that lasted for 3 days. TULF’s head office was destroyed alongside Jaffna MP V. Yogeswaran’s houseFour people were pulled from their homes and killed at random. Many business establishments and a local Hindu temple were also deliberately destroyed.On the night of June 1, according to many eyewitnesses, police and government-sponsored paramilitias set fire to the Jaffna public library and completely destroyed it.Over 97,000 volumes of books along with numerous culturally important and irreplaceable manuscripts were destroyed.Scrolls of historical value and the works and manuscripts of philosophers, artists and authors, including Ananda Coomaraswamy and prominent intellectual Prof. Dr. Isaac ThambiahThe destroyed articles included memoirs and works of writers and authors who contributed greatly towards sustaining the written presence of Tamil cultureThe office of the Eelanaadu, a local newspaper, was also destroyed. Statues of Tamil cultural and religious figures were either destroyed or defaced.Nancy Murray states:several high-ranking security officers and two cabinet ministers were present in the town of Jaffna, when uniformed security men and plain clothed mobs carried out organized acts of destruction.The burning of Jaffna Public Library became an example of ethnic biblioclasm and left a deep impact on Tamil people who perceived it as an attack on their identity and as a cultural genocide as the Library served as a monument to the desire for learning and culture of the people of Jaffna. The Library, then one of Asia’s biggest, contained 95,000 volumes of works relating to Tamil culture and history, including numerous culturally important and irreplaceable manuscripts. When ethnic nationalist forces engaged in book burning in Germany in the 1930s and Bosnia in the 90s, it culminated in genocides. It was part of a long genocidal process that began with the country’s independence. The Sinhalese long sought to suppress Tamil culture because they, as a majority with a minority complex, feared being dominated by Tamils and losing their identity to the larger presence of Tamil culture in the nearby south Indian state. S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike, who would become the country’s prime minister in 1956, campaigned on the Sinhala-Buddhist nationalist platform opposing linguistic parity for Tamil, denouncing those that favoured it as traitors to the race. Portraying the Tamil demand for linguistic parity as an existential threat to the Sinhala race, he said if Tamils were granted parity they “would come to exert their dominant power over us.”UNP politician John Kotelawala warned that parity would ensure in the years to come Sinhala children will be speaking Tamil which with its prolific literature “will gain precedence and finally kill the Sinhalese language.” J.R. Jayewardene (who would later become a prime minister) expressed fear that Sinhala spoken by only three million people would suffer or go extinct altogether if the Tamil language, with its larger share of speakers in India and influence of its literature and films in the island, were granted parity of status. Political Buddhist monks became prominent during this time and argued that linguistic parity ‘would be the death-knell of the Sinhalese’*Exert from Siva E Loganathan’s answerIronically, Mahinda Rajapaksa even referred to the incident stating:Burning the Library sacred to the people of Jaffna was similar to shooting down Lord BuddhaBlack July riots(1983)The turning point of the ethnic conflict happened on July 24, 1983Charles Anthony, aka Lt Seelan, had sacrificed himself so his comrade, nicknamed Aruna, could escape, as the two were attempting to escape the pursuing Sri Lankan armyWhen Prabhakaran received news of Lt. Seelan's death, he immediately plotted to retaliate against the Sri Lankan armyHe hatched a plan to ambush a military convoy on a narrow road in Tinneveli, Jaffna.On the night of July 23, a 15 soldiers were passing through a convey in the villageMines had been laid and the LTTE were in position when the army patrol neared the site. As the SLA soldiers drew closer, a heavy explosion sent the trucks flying into the air and the LTTE soldiers immediately opened fire, killing 13 of the 15 soldiers as they scrambled out of the truckThis is would spark the 5 day massacres of the Tamil population across the countryJR Jayewardene tried to keep the funeral for the dead soldiers from turning into a large demonstration. However, his intentions would fail. The arrival of the bodies from Jaffna to Colombo on July 24 was delayed by several hours, and the funeral had to be cancelled. In the meantime, a large group of people had gathered at the army’s cemetery.As hours passed, the crowd grew more agitated and in the future hours, large scale violence would eruptThe rioting, July 24 - 29, saw thousands Tamil businesses and homes being burned, homes while fleeing Tamils were beaten, shot, or burned alive in their houses, vehicles or on the street. Many Tamil women were raped or forced to display themselves in front of heckling Sinhalese mobsRioting had spread to the Canal Bank, Grandpass, Hattewatte, Kirilapone, Kotahena, Maradana, Modera, Mutwal, Narahenpita, and Wanathamulla. Mobs armed with crow bars and kitchen knives roamed the streets, attacking and killing Tamils.In Colombo, the riots had spread to large Tamil populated areas in Wellawatte, Dehiwala, Anderson Flats, Torrington Flats, Thimbirigasyaya, Cinnamon Gardens, Kadawatha, Kelaniya, Nugegoda and Ratmalana.Violence had spread to Gampaha and Negombo as wellIn Kalutara, the TKVS stores were burned down, one owner managed to escape, but the mob threw him back into the fireThe residence of Indian high commissioner was also burned downBy the evening, virtually, all of Colombo was on fireThe mobs possessed electoral lists which enabled them to identify Tamil homes and propertyThis indicates the prior organization and cooperation by elements of the government.In some cases, the police would re-direct Tamils fleeing to refugee camps to areas controlled by riotersJR Jayewardene would later admit in a statement,"a pattern of organization and planning has been noticed in the rioting and looting that took place."The mob attacked the industrial area of Ratmalana, which contained a number of Tamil-owned factories. Jetro Garments and Tata Garments on Galle Road were completely gutted. Other factories attacked included Ponds, S-Lon, Reeves Garments, Hydo Garments, Hyluck Garments, AGM Garments, Manhattan Garments, Ploy Peck, Berec, and Mascons Asbestos. Indian-owned factories such as Kundanmals, Oxford, and Bakson Garments were not attacked, giving credence to the suggestion that the mob was deliberately going after Sri Lankan Tamil targets. Seventeen factories were destroyed in Ratmalana. Capital Maharaja a Tamil-owned company, is one of Sri Lanka's largest conglomerates. Six of their factories in Ratmalana and their headquarters in Bankshall Street were destroyed. The mob ended the day by setting fire to Tilly's Beach Hotel in Mount Lavinia.One of the most notorious incidents of the rioting took place at the Welikada Prison on 25 July37 Tamil prisoners were killed by Sinhalese prisoners using knives and clubsThe Tamil inmates were political prisoners who were arrested under treason charges while the Sinhalese prisoners were arrested for murder, rape and robberyTamil and Sinhalese prisoners were separated to prevent a large scale riotIn one incident, survivors claimed that prison officers allowed their keys to fall into the hands of Sinhalese prisoners; but at the subsequent inquest, prison officers claimed that the keys had been stolen from them.The most infamous incident in the prison massacre happened when 2 men, one being TELO militant Kuttimani Yogachandran, announced in court that they would donate their eyes in the hope that they would be grafted on to Tamils who would see the birth of Tamil Eelam, Second hand reports from Batticaloa gaol, where the survivors of the Welikada massacre are now being kept, say that Yogachandran and another man were forced to kneel and their eyes gouged out with iron bars by prisoner guards before they were killed. Kuttimani's tongue was cut out by an attacker who drank the blood and cried: "I have drunk the blood of a Tiger."The riots left:4000 Tamils dead20,000 Tamils severely wounded30,000 Tamils and Sinhalese unemployed150,000 Tamils homeless1,000,000 Tamils displacedIt’s to note however, that they were many instances, where Sinhalese civilians were using their homes as refuge and were voluntarily risking their lives to provide protection for Tamils fleeing from state-sponsored mobsAs one Sinhalese individual recalled:"I was completely shattered for months (I was actually hospitalized of exhaustion) after running around transporting my friends and unknown Tamil-speaking families to safe places. We had nearly 15 people in our house."After the riots, the LTTE went from a group of 30 members to 2000 over night. In the preceding weeks, the LTTE saw a spike in recruitment numbersOne LTTE soldier stated:LTTE was very careful in taking people. They didn't just take a bunch of people. They had studied the people, looked at their background.. they would give a person the run-around and then only take him in. After Black July, there was a marked increase in membership among all of the Tamil militant groups in Sri LankaAn example of this would be Anton Balasingham’s political aid, alias Yogi, who was forced to watch the brutal rape of his mother during the riotsHis mother was dragged out of her house and Yogi was forced to watch as Sinhalese thugs preceded to rape and beat her. Every time Yogi looked away, the thugs would beat his mother even moreAfter the 3 hour ordeal, Yogi’s mother was dead, and the Sinhala thugs had left laughing, saying “Tamil whores deserve it”Yogi would flee Colombo to arrive in Jaffna and join the LTTE the following dayIn an interview with the Daily Telegraph on 11 July 1983, about two weeks before the riots, Jayewardene expressed the state's complicity in the violence against the Tamils stating:I am not worried about the opinion of the Jaffna (Tamil) people now. Now we cannot think of them. Not about their lives or of their opinion about us. The more you put pressure in the north, the happier the Sinhala people will be here... really, if I starve the Tamils, Sinhala people will be happy...The Daily Telegraph also reported:Motorists were dragged from their cars to be stoned and beaten with sticks. Others were cut down with knives and axes. Mobs of Sinhala youth rampaged through the streets, ransacking homes, shops and offices, looting them and setting them ablaze, as they sought out members of the Tamil ethnic minority. A mob attacked a Tamil cyclist riding near Colombo's eye hospital. The cyclist was hauled from his bike, drenched with petrol and set alight. As he ran screaming down the street, the mob set on him again and hacked him down with jungle knivesMrs Eli Skarstein, back home in Stavanger, Norway, told how she and her 15 year old daughter, Kristen witnessed one massacre. 'A mini bus full of Tamils were forced to stop in front of us in Colombo', she said. A Sinhalese mob poured petrol over the bus and set it on fire. They blocked the car door and prevented the Tamils from leaving the vehicle. 'Hundreds of spectators watched as about 20 Tamils were burnt to death.' Mrs. Skarstein added: 'We can't believe the official casualty figures. Hundreds, maybe thousands, must have been killed already. The police force (which is 95% Sinhalese) did nothing to stop the mobs. There was no mercy. Women, children and old people were slaughtered. Police did nothing to stop the genocide.'An exert from William McGowan’s book, The Tragedy of Sri Lanka, statesWhile travelling on a bus when a mob laid siege to it, passengers watched as a small boy was hacked 'to limb-less death'. The bus driver was ordered to give up a Tamil. He pointed out a woman who was desperately trying to erase the mark on her forehead—called a kumkum—as the thugs bore down on her. The woman's belly was ripped open with a broken bottle and she was immolated as people clapped and danced. In another incident, two sisters, one eighteen and one eleven, were decapitated and raped, the latter 'until there was nothing left to violate and no volunteers could come forward', after which she was burned. While all this was going on, a line of Buddhist monks appeared, arms flailing, their voices raised in a delirium of exhortation, summoning the Sinhalese to put all Tamils to deathThe Economist stated:"...But for days the soldiers and policemen were not overwhelmed; they were un-engaged or, in some cases, apparently abetting the attackers. Numerous eye witnesses attest that soldiers and policemen stood by while Colombo burned."Dr. Brian Senewiratne’s post Black July statement:It has been erroneously claimed that there has been an ‘ethnic conflict’ in Sri Lanka. There has been no ethnic conflict since 1915, and that was between the Sinhalese and the Muslims. What there has been for six decades, are a series of increasingly virulent pogroms against the Tamil people by a succession of Sinhalese-dominated government, assisted by Sinhalese political opportunists and ethno-religious chauvinists, and conducted by the Sinhalese Armed Forces (99% Sinhalese), with a degeneracy of Sinhala society and its rapid descent to barbarism. These anti-Tamil pogroms have been to crush the Tamil people into submission to accept Sri Lanka as a Sinhala-Buddhist nationPaul Sieghart of the International Commission of Jurists stated in Sri Lanka: A Mounting Tragedy of Errors that:Clearly this (July 1983 attack) was no spontaneous upsurge of communal hatred among the Sinhala people – nor was it as has been suggested in some quarters, a popular response to the killing of 13 soldiers in an ambush the previous day by Tamil Tigers, which was not even reported in the newspapers until the riots began. It was a series of deliberate acts, executed in accordance with a concerted plan, conceived and organized well in advanceCanadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, recently stated:“Today, we remember the thousands of Tamil people who lost their lives and the countless others who were displaced from their homes during the 1983 anti-Tamil pogroms in Sri Lanka.“Black July was a week of violent riots and horrific destruction that followed decades of unrest and rising tensions in the country. It led to a conflict that lasted 26 years, killing tens of thousands more people and leaving lasting wounds in communities across Sri Lanka.“Thanks in large part to the advocacy of Tamil-Canadians, Canada implemented a Special Measures program in 1983 to welcome more than 1,800 Tamils. We see the resiliency of Tamil-Canadians in the tremendous contributions they make to Canada every day.“I extend my deepest sympathies to all those who suffered and lost family, friends, and neighbours during Black July and the conflict that followed. Canada continues to offer its full support to those working toward meaningful justice, accountability, peace, and reconciliation in the country.”The Black July riots officially commenced the 26 year civil war as the mainland Tamil population had now openly supported the LTTE and their movement for independenceSri Lankan government massacres of Tamil civilians during the war(1983–2009)*If what happened in Sri Lankan in 2009 happened in 2019, the entire world and social media would be outragedStatistically, the Sri Lankan government is responsible for 92.5% of innocent civilian deathsThe IPKF is responsible for 5%The LTTE is responsible 2.5%Sri Lankan government and IPKF killed more civilians than LTTE soldiersThe LTTE killed more Sri Lankan and Indian soldiers than civiliansSri Lankan government atrocities against Tamil civilians(*NOTE: This is a long list so brace yourself)Inginiyakala massacre ‐ 05.06.19562. 1958 anti-Tamil pogrom3.

Another source said that in addition to the 49 killed, scores of others were wounded, and he expected the death toll to rise. Shells were still hitting the area hours later, including one that landed about 150 yards from the hospital.”“the smaller NFZ unilaterally declared by the GSL continued to come under attack.”"An organization’s sources expressed their belief that the GSL was deliberately preventing delivery of medicine to the NFZ and reported that ―over the last week, at least 20 people have died due to starvation and lack of medication"A local source reported that the remaining hospital facilities were continually hit by SLA shelling, even though their locations had been carefully reported to the government.“An organization reported that shipments of food and medicine to the NFZ were grossly insufficient over the prior month and that the GSL reportedly delayed or denied timely shipment of life-saving medicines as well as chlorine tablets. A source in the NFZ reported that patients were brought to the hospital for fainting attacks attributed to their lack of food.”“Shortly thereafter the hospital was attacked, killing four or five people including a doctor and wounding more than 30. Several sources informed HRW that each time a hospital was established in a new location, GPS coordinates of the facility were transmitted to the Sri Lankan government to ensure that the facility would be protected from military attack. Witnesses said that on several occasions, attacks occurred on the day after the coordinates had been transmitted.”“Mothers were crying at the hospital and asking for milk powder. They had not eaten and were unable to feed their children, but the hospital did not have milk powder in stock.”Jacques de Maio, the ICRC head of operations for South Asia, in Geneva said, "not all the wounded could be evacuated today, and it is of the utmost importance that more evacuations take place over the coming days"."The food and medical supplies that have been delivered remain insufficient to cover the basic needs of the people there."A leaked US embassy cable notes,The Embassy has credible information that the Sri Lankan Air Force conducted an air strike south of the civilian safe zone yesterday afternoon, May 10."The Foreign Ministers of the UK, France, Austria and Costa Rica, as well as the U.S. and Mexico all strongly supported SC action, with Russian FM Lavrov on the defensive. Lavrov said the situation in Sri Lanka is a humanitarian disaster, but not a threat to peace and security. He said other fora in the UN were better suited to address this issue. He added that there were plenty of similar instances when the Security Council did not act. China said that the Security Council's informal meetings on Sri Lanka had made a difference.Ambassador Rice disagreed, and said the meetings had not yet made a difference; displaced persons were not receiving help, and the shelling continued despite government assurances to the contrary. On the margins of the meeting, the French said they intend to bring Sri Lanka to the Security Council this week, and would push for a product."Steve Crawshaw of Human Rights Watch commented,“If the Security Council stays silent on this issue any longer, it will be a failure of historic proportions… It is already late, but lives can still be saved”.In a statement, the Tamil National Alliance(TNA) stated,“there is genocide taking place in Vanni; the entire international community is being silent; we don’t want just statements of condemnations and pledges without any action; the killings of civilians must immediately be stopped; this is our urgent request”.“The use by the Sri Lankan State of internationally banned weapons, such as cluster bombs and chemical weapons, has been a characteristic feature of the current phase of the war being waged against the Tamil people.”“The Tamil people in the island of Sri Lanka are clearly being subjected to Genocide.”OISL statements:“A senior United Nations official said they were amongst the worst cases of malnutrition he had ever seen”.“a shell landed near a tent accommodating hospital staff and volunteers, killing a nursing assistant and causing serious burns to six others”.“At least two witnesses indicated that at that time, patients were being brought in with unusual burns, one of them describing the different parts of the body of the patients being blackened, with skin like “black charcoal”.”“Witness testimonies and other documentation refer to many dying of starvation, exhaustion or lack of medical care in addition to those killed by shelling and shooting”.“It remains to be investigated how many people - particularly the most vulnerable such as the elderly and children - died as a result of lack of access to food and medical care.”“One of the children who was 18 months old was suffering severe lethargy, she could not stand up or walk and had to be carried all the time. Even though we favoured the children with food, they showed signs of muscle wastage in their legs, they had distended stomachs and their ribs where showing through their skin where the normal layer of fat in a child of this age had disappeared.”“Cluster munitions release bomblets over a wide area above a target that explode on impact. However, indirect fire munitions may also be configured to explode into fragments overhead. OISL believes that given the persistent nature of the allegations of cluster munitions, further investigation needs to be carried out to determine whether or not they were used.”“Firing from the SLA would pass over the LTTE front line “and impact on the civilians behind it”.”“He said that everyone was squeezed into a small piece of land and practically each time a shell fell, people would be injured and killed. Another witness said he saw nine people being killed when a shell hit a mango tree by a well where they had gathered. One saw a woman killed when a shell hit her bunker… she had a sewing machine and used to make cloth bags to fill with sand for the bunker. “Often, people fled when family members were killed – they had no time to mourn or bury the dead…” Another witness described seeing more than a 100 dead bodies, including children, near his bunker.”“The SLA force now confronting the LTTE was probably in excess of 50,000 soldiers, with significant heavy weapons capability and air supremacy… The SLA was on one side of a large lagoon, the LTTE on the other, the civilians being at some distance behind the LTTE.“Between 8 and 12 May the facility was shelled on several occasions as the NFZ3 came under intense daily bombardment by SLA artillery, the air force and the navy.”“The U.N. has consistently warned against the bloodbath scenario as we’ve watched the steady increase in civilian deaths over the last few months... The large-scale killing of civilians over the weekend, including the deaths of more than 100 children, shows that that bloodbath has become a reality.”“Likewise, while OISL received allegations of the use of white phosphorous, and witnesses described such incidents, particularly in the last few weeks of the conflict where bombs caused intense burning and blackened skin, it was not able to gather enough information to confirm that white phosphorous was used. OISL therefore believes that these allegations should also be investigated further.”Human Rights Watch reported two witness testimonies from the day."K. Kanaga," a 35-year-old woman whose name is withheld for security reasons, said that around 7 p.m. on May 9, she and 15 others were hiding in a bunker that they had built under a tractor when a shell struck the tractor. "If it hadn't been for the tractor, we would have all been dead," she said. About eight to 10 shells struck the immediate area, which was populated with tents and improvised bunkers. Kanaga's 45-year-old cousin was staying in a tent nearby; she never reached the bunker and was killed in the attack. "Many other people were injured as well, but I don't know how many," Kanaga said. "I could hear their screams.""R. Raman," 29, said that he and his family had been hiding in their bunker in Mullaivaikal - a dug-out trench without any cover - for several days. "We were being attacked from all sides," he said. "My wife and I only left the bunker to get food and water for our three children."Early in the morning on May 9, a shell struck one of the tents closeby, killing Raman's 15-year-old nephew and wounding his nephew's older brother and sister. Raman believes that the shell came from Sri Lankan army positions and may have been targeting LTTE forces that were deployed in the jungle about 100 meters away. Several shells struck the tented area inhabited by displaced civilians.Catholic Priest Father Francis Joseph writes to the Pope from inside the No Fire Zone, calling on the Church to break its silence on the massacre of Tamils. The father, who was later detained by Sri Lankan security forces after passing through a military checkpoint in May 2009, has not been seen since and is one of the 12,000 Tamils who have gone missing under government custodyExtracts of his letter are below.Last night’s toll of the dead is 3318 and of the injured more than 4000. It was a barrage of artillery, mortar, multi-barrel shelling and cluster bombs…The cries and woes of agony of babies and children, the women and the elderly fill the air that was polluted by poisonous and unhealthy gases…I deem it my duty to point my finger at the Church for its silence while some of the countries like USA, UK, France and some of the European Union countries and others, even the UN have voiced their dismay at the way the Sri Lankan Government is conducting a war to annihilate the Tamils…Let it be known that under the guise of eradicating terrorism, the Sri Lankan Government is waging the war to annihilate the Tamil nation. It is a genocidal war.Tamil Genocide by Professor Francis BoyleProf Francis Boyle, a Harvard law school graduate and a professor at the University of Illinois College of Law, writes that "since the outset of this latest crisis in January, the GOSL has exterminated about 7000 Tamils in Vanni, certainly a "substantial part" of the Tamil population in Vanni and Sri Lanka.”“If not stopped now, the GOSL's toll of genocide against the Tamils could far exceed the recent horrors of Srebrenica.""A generation ago the world turned away from the Nazi genocide against the Jews--and lived to regret it. Humanity is at a similar crossroads today.”An exert from his book:These Nazi style concentration camps that the Sri Lankan government is now forcibly imposing on at least 300,000 Tamil civilians constitutes acts of genocide within the meaning of Article II(c) of the 1948 Genocide Convention, to which Sri Lanka is a contracting party.United Nations's Secretary- General's advisory panelThe UN released a 215 pages report on the human rights abuses during the war and states:The Sri Lankan military used large-scale and widespread shelling causing large numbers of civilian deaths. This constituted persecution of the population of the Vanni.The Sri Lankan government tried to intimidate and silence the media and other critics of the war using a variety of threats and actions, including the use of white vans to abduct and to make people disappear.The Sri Lankan military shelled on a large scale the three Safe Zones where it had encouraged the civilian population to concentrate. It did this even after saying it would cease using heavy weapons.The Sri Lankan military shelled the UN hub, food distribution lines and Red Cross ships coming to rescue the wounded and their relatives. It did this despite having intelligence as well as notifications by the UN, Red Cross and others.Most of the civilian casualties were caused by Sri Lankan military shelling.The Sri Lankan military systematically shelled hospitals on the frontlines. All hospitals in the Vanni were hit by mortars and artillery, sometimes repeatedly, despite the Sri Lankan military knowing their locations.The Sri Lankan government systematically deprived civilians in the conflict zone of humanitarian aid, in the form of food and medical supplies, adding to their suffering. The government deliberately underestimated the number of civilians in order to deprive them of humanitarian aid.Tens of thousands of civilians were killed between January and May 2009. Many died anonymously in the final days.The Sri Lankan government subjected the civilians who managed to escape the conflict zone to further deprivation and suffering.Screening for Tamil Tigers took place without any transparency or external scrutiny. Some of those separated by the screening were summarily executed whilst women were raped. Others simply disappearedUS Congress report in October 2009 reported:“Majority of shelling into the Safe Zone was from Sri Lankan government forces; the government forces carried out shelling during a 48-hour "ceasefire"; the government forces unlawfully killed captives and combatants seeking to surrender, including senior Tamil Tigers; the government forces and paramilitary groups abducted and then killed Tamil civilians, particularly children and young men; there was an acute shortage of food, medicine and clean water despite government assurances that it would supply sufficient amounts”Between January 14–16 2010, the Permanent Peoples' Tribunal reported that:“The tribunal found numerous instances of human rights violations committed by the Sri Lankan government. Violations between 2006 (end of the ceasefire) and 2009 (end of the war) included: bombing civilian objectives like hospitals, schools and other non-military targets; bombing government-proclaimed 'safety zones' or 'no fire zones'; withholding of food, water, and health facilities in war zones; use of heavy weaponry, banned weapons and air-raids; using food and medicine as a weapon of war; mistreatment, torture and execution of captured or surrendered Tamil Tiger combatants, officials and supporters; torture; rape and sexual violence against women; deportations and forcible transfer of individuals and families; and desecration of the dead”“Violations committed in the IDP camps included: shooting of Tamil citizens and Tamil Tiger supporters; forced disappearances; rape; malnutrition; and lack of medical supplies”“ There was also evidence of forced "disappearances" of targeted individuals from the Tamil population during the ceasefire (2002–2006)”In May 2010, the International Crisis Group reported, with vasts amounts of evidence including numerous reliable eyewitness statements, hundreds of photographs, video, satellite images, electronic communications and documents from multiple credible sources. The report concluded that war crimes were committed by the Sri Lankan armed forces displaying:The report found credible evidence of intentional shelling of civilians by the Sri Lankan armed forces; intentional shelling of hospitals by the Sri Lankan armed forces; intentional shelling of humanitarian operations by the Sri Lankan armed forces; deliberate obstruction of food and medical treatment for the civilian population by the Sri Lankan armed forcesThe report found evidence that suggested that during 2009 tens of thousands of Tamil civilians were killed, countless wounded and hundreds of thousands deprived of basic food and medical care which resulted in further, unnecessary deaths.The report suggested that the actions of some members of the international community produced conditions which allowed war crimes to be committedIn January 2011 the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, a German human rights group, sent a dossier detailing alleged war crimes committed by the 57 Division to the German Federal Foreign office:The ECCHR followed the military offensives as described by the Sri Lankan military, examined reports produced by the Sri Lankan government and NGOs, and talked to eyewitnesses present in the conflict area. The dossier concluded that many violations of international law were committed by the Sri Lankan militaryThe dossier states that the senior military and civilian leaders were responsible for these crimesEvidence for government war crimes range from a variety of sources such as:Satellite imageryA number of independent organizations have published an analysis of satellite images of “NO FIRE ZONES” showing heavy damage that could only have been caused by shelling and aerial bombardment. These contradict the Sri Lankan government’s claim that its forces had not used heavy weaponry.A confidential UN report dated 26 April 2009 comparing UNOSAT images of the “NO FIRE ZONES” taken between 5 February 2009 and 19 April 2009 was leaked to the media. The images showed numerous craters caused by shelling.The main finding of the report was that "there are new indications of building destruction and damages resulting from shelling and possible air-strikes".The report found that 60 main buildings had been destroyed to date in the “NO FIRE ZONES” but this excluded temporary structures erected by the IDPs as it was not possible to identify damage to these using satellite images. Over 5,000 IDP shelters had also been relocated during April 2009 due the shelling and bombardment. There was evidence of hundreds of craters and heavy damage to buildings outside the Safe Zone. The report concluded that damage estimates were a minimum and that the "actual damages are likely to be greater". The accuracy of some of the damage suggested that it could only have been done by air-dropped bombs. Although the report does not apportion blame, given that Tamil Tigers' air wing had been destroyed in early 2009, this damage could only have been caused by the SLAF.After being confronted with the UN satellite images during an interview with Al Jazeera’s Sri Lankan foreign secretary Palitha Kohona admitted that the Sri Lankan armed forces had carried out shelling and air raids in the “NO FIRE ZONES”.This contradicted the statements by the Sri Lankan government and President Rajapaksa, and an earlier statement by Kohona himself, that there was no shelling by the Sri Lankan armed forces in the “NO FIRE ZONES”.Following a request from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch the American Association for the Advancement of Science compared commercial high-resolution satellite images of the “ NO FIRE ZONES” taken on 6 May 2009 and 10 May 2009 to evaluate the impact of heavy fighting on 9/10 May. They found evidence of significant removal of IDP shelters, artillery and mortar emplacements, destroyed permanent structures, bomb shell impact craters and 1,346 individual graves. By calculating the trajectory of the shells which caused the craters the AAAS was able to conclude that the shells came from Sri Lankan army territory.US government satellites had been monitoring the war zone secretly. In April 2009 the US state department released two satellite images of the “NO FIRE ZONES” showing 100,000 civilians trapped in 8-square-mile (21 km) area.The State Department report to Congress (above) included a number of images taken by US government satellites. The images showed that Puthukkudiyiruppu (PTK) Hospital had been heavily damaged between 28 January 2009 and 16 March 2009.VideosAmateur videos, taken by civilians and SLA soldiers, detailed war crimes committed by government forces during the final stages of the warVideos have been used and seen as concrete evidence of human rights abuses and have been displayed in documentaries such as “No Fire Zones: Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields”All of the videos have been authenticated by the UNEyewitness accounts and statements by opposing leaders and civiliansOn 18 May 2010 Channel 4 news broadcast interviews with two people who claimed they were Sri Lankan soldiers and who made the allegation that they had been given orders from "the top" to summarily execute all ethnic Tamils, civilians as well as fighters. A senior commander claimed "the order would have been to kill everybody and finish them off..It is clear that such orders were...from the top". Sri Lankan Defence Secretary Gothabaya Rajapaska brother, was said to have given direct orders to army commanders at the battle front. It was also claimed in the story that Prabhakaran’s 13-year-old son Balachandran was interrogated by the Sri Lankan military before being executed. A front line soldier said "our commander ordered us to kill everyone. We killed everyone". The soldier claimed that the Tamils were tortured before being executed. Numerous photos taken by Sri Lankan soldiers showing dead bodies and Tamil prisoners were also shown in the broadcast. No audio of the actual commander or the front line soldier making the claims were aired to protect their identity, a standard practice.Civilians reported numerous signs of abuse in reports to journalists and aid workers which have been displayed in written reports, news articles, documentaries and short clipsEyewitness accounts from SLA soldiersIn 2012, Ravindra Watudura Bandanage, a former frontline soldier of the army’s 58th division, admitted that the SLA tortured Tamil civilians during the final stages of the war. Bandanage also admitted to being ordered to place a bomb at the home of MK Shivajilingam, a Tamil MP in parliament. During this time, Shivajilingam was an outspoken critic of the government and was aligned with the opposition, TNA. Bandanage refused to go through with any of these orders and admitted to seeing members of the Sri Lankan army torturing, beating and raping Tamil civilians.8 stages of the Tamil Genocide*No Fire Zones, 2009*Sri Lankan internment camps, 2009CLASSIFICATION: “Tamil vs Sinhalese”. Anti-Tamil riots and legislation sponsored and passed by the government, giving leverage to the Sinhalese majority while alienating the Tamil minority, exemplifies their pro Sinhalese attitude and “us vs Tamils” mentality. An example of this would be the Citizenship Act(1948), Sinhala Only Act(1956), Standardization(1971) and the distribution of Tamil voting addresses and information, given to Sinhalese mobs to systematically locate and eliminate innocent Tamils across the country during the Black July Riots(1983). The Citizenship Act can also be compared to Hitler’s Nuremberg laws.SYMBOLIZATION: Classifying Tamils as “terrorists”, “LTTE supporters”, and “Chola invaders”, hence, distinguishing them as outsiders and non-natives of the island. The government had also banned the importation of media that would prove otherwise or go against their propaganda.DEHUMANIZATION: Denying Tamils the right to equality during the country’s infancy. The classification of Tamils as “terrorists” dehumanizing them as individuals. The mass display of dead Tamils on Sri Lankan state-media, the systemic sexual and physical torture of Tamils, the continues bombing and shelling of Tamil owned hospitals, schools, orphanages and etc depicts them “animals” by the state.ORGANIZATION: The government has four options to turn Sri Lanka into a Sinhala-Buddhist state During the Black July riots, Sinhalese mobs were aided and lead by the states police force and abetted by the government. In 2009, the government transported 300,000 Tamil civilians to their sanctioned “NO FIRE ZONES” and then proceed to fire on them with artillery and other heavy weaponry. Then again, after the war had ended, the government packed 300,000 Tamils in concentration camps, many of each, died of malnutrition, dehydration, disease and suicide. The attempt toThe U.N. continues to impose a war crimes tribunal against the Sri Lankan government despite their continuous refusal.5. POLARIZATION: The Sri Lankan government began to arrest moderate Sinhala journalists who contradicted their propaganda, most notable being Lasantha Wickremetunga. The army would arbitrarily detain Tamils across the country, would subject them to brutal methods of torture, would threaten Tamil MP’s and would implement widespread polarizing propaganda against the Tamil population in the Vanni.6. PREPARATION: Tamils are identified and separated into groups and then transported to various No Fire Zones and internment camps.7. Extermination: The government would precede to shell Tamil civilians in all 3 No Fire Zones with artillery, other heavy weaponry and would block humanitarian aid for the internment camps. Tamils in state controlled camps would die of malnutrition, dehydration, disease and suicide, many Tamils were taken by the army for questioning and, as of today, have never been seen since. 100,000 Tamils were killed by the state in a span of 3 months and thousands more perished from the inhumane conditions in the internment camps8. Denial: The government’s continues to deny these claims. Despite international calls for a UN run human rights tribunal against the government, the government has insisted that they conduct their own investigation. Tamil victims are continuously intimidated by the police force and military, they are victims of “land-grabs” by the ongoing militarization of Tamil areas. “Sinhalanisation” and lack of accountability for war crimes continue to encompass the Tamil community. State controlled media continues to display propaganda denying war crimes while Sri Lankan diplomats attempt to defend the government’s actions and human rights hearings and blame the crimes on the LTTE or state that the victims were all LTTE soldiers.International recognition(Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day)On May 18th, Tamils worlwide remember the innocent civilians who were killed by government shelling in No Fire Zones and other areas during the final stages of the Sri Lankan civil warThe event is commemorated by many politiciansThe cities of Toronto and Brampton have officially declared May 18th as “Tamil Genocide Rememberance Day”The provincial government of Ontario has unanimously voted in favour of passing the implementation of Bill-104, “Tamil Genocide Education Week(May 11 –18)”Sri Lanka continues to defy the United Nations’ call for a international war crimes investigations, they have even appointed Shavendra Silva, Sri Lankan army commander who is accused of human rights abuses against the Tamil population, as the head of the army.Sources:Ceylon Citizenship Act - WikipediaSinhala Only Act - WikipediaPolicy of standardisation - Wikipedia1956 Ceylonese riots - Wikipedia1958 anti-Tamil pogrom - Wikipedia1977 anti-Tamil pogrom - WikipediaBlack July - WikipediaBlack July: Remembering the 1983 Riots in Sri Lankahttp://www.nesohr.org/files/Lest...http://www.nesohr.org/files/Lest...10 years today - A massacre in MullivaikkalSri Lanka Massacred Tens of Thousands of Tamils While the World Looked Away36 years of burn wounds: The Jaffna LibraryThe Burning of the Jaffna Public Library by the Police in 1981 – 1Burning of Jaffna Public Library - WikipediaThe Tamil Genocide by Sri Lanka
