I strongly condemn the decision by the Sri Lankan State to destroy Tamil Memorial inside Jaffna Uni. A monument that honours the hundreds of thousands of Tamil people who were massacred in 2009 by the Sri Lankan state, was being bulldozed by the Sri Lankan authorities today. pic.twitter.com/mW78xMInh7

(1/2) The 300,000 Tamils in Ontario will mark the 11th anniversary of #TamilGenocide Remembrance Day on May 18. I introduced the Tamil Genocide Education Week Act to educate the #NextGen about Tamil Genocide and other genocides that occurred in world history to say #NeverAgain. pic.twitter.com/1buwaI9sEa

37 years ago, the state of Sri Lanka organized & executed the intentional series of anti-Tamil pogroms between July 23rd and 29th 1983 (also known as #BlackJuly). Over 3000 Tamils were brutally murdered & thousands of Tamil homes and businesses were intentionally destroyed. pic.twitter.com/iHtEpJR2NO

The Tamil people are resisting the Sri Lankan state oppression peacefully in the Tamil homeland. The will of the people is incredible. I join them in support & ask the Canadian govt @MarcGarneau to ensure their demands are met at the @UNHumanRights & @UN_HRC. #TamilGenocide #P2P pic.twitter.com/YvsgnsW94x
