TAKE ACTION

NOTE: ACTIONS ON HOLD FOR 2 WEEKS WHILE WE UPDATE. STAY TUNED!

Sri Lanka 's 25-year civil war ended in May, but the post-war peace is fragile. Whether Sri Lanka enjoys long-term peace, or suffers a resurgence of conflict, will depend largely on how the Government in victory treats its Tamil minority.

An enduring peace in Sri Lanka requires: rapid re-settlement of all Tamils displaced by the war; equality of all citizens under the Constitution; demilitarization; restoration of an independent media; and a watchful international community.

Action 1. Ask your government to oppose Sri Lanka's planned 50% increase in its army, and to endorse the release and quick resettlement of the 250,000+ Tamil civilians detained in government camps. Take action!

Action 2. Ask the President of Sri Lanka and other top leaders to liberate the country from fear. Urge them to restore an independent media free from reprisal, and to release society from continued militarization. Take action!

Action 3. Insist that Sri Lanka's major economic supporters tie their assistance to equitable development practises, which do not favour one ethnic gorup over another. coming soon

Action 4. Tell 4 friends 3 facts about Sri Lanka. Take action!
