Sri Lanka Appeal
IN SRI Lanka, 3,000 people have lost their lives as a three year-old
ceasefire is falling apart. Senan gave an appeal for the United
Socialist Party (USP – CWI Sri Lanka). The USP is the only group in Sri
Lanka with a non-sectarian position, to unite Tamils, Sinhalese and
Muslim people.
On 10 November, Tamil MP Nadarajah Raviraj was shot dead. Raviraj was
in the Civil Monitoring Committee (CMC), which investigates the
kidnappings and killings of Tamils. The CMC is chaired by Siritunga
Jayasuriya, USP general secretary. Siritunga is now a prime target for
the killers, and has received numerous death threats.
Senan said the USP needs international support and financial help,
and asked everyone at the rally to send letters of protest.
