And ask her to make a report on the Genocide of over 400 000 over last 7 decades. Eelam Tamils continue to be victims of structural genocide over last 7 decades, because of the United Kingdom's decolonization process failure. In Sri Lanka, The Former President responsible of Tamils Genocide, became Prime Minister and his Brother is a new President and during their 24 months of dictatorship Eelam Tamils continue to lost their freedom, their identity, their religion, their lands, even they can’t commemorate the death of their love’s ones in Muliyavaikaal, Black July, recently just 5 days ago Tamils can’t remember over 400 000 Tamils civils, and over 50 000 freedom fighters, the commemoration of the sacrifice of our Thiyaga theepam Thileepan who lost his life. Who fasted and sacrifice his life without food and water and dead for 17 days. 34 years later Tamils civil society, student’s organization, politics, and families of victims are on the Street with same request as was 34 years ago Thiyaga theepam Thileepan, with Potuvil to Pulikandy. According United Nations inter review Charles Petrie Report there are over 70 000 tamils were killed During the last Genocidal war in Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan security forces made a Genocide against Eelam Tamils. The former bishop of Mannar had proved that 146,679 Tamils remain unaccounted, but the UN and the western Ngos had never taken this huge number in to account for the fear of antagonizing the racist Sinhalese regimes. Tamil across the world ask the international community to recognize Tamils as human first and also recognize namely, who are the victims in Sri Lanka on their resolutions and reports. Thank you
