Sri Lanka: Death Squads Threaten CWI

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Monday November 13, 2006 00:25author by Socialist Party - CWI Report this post to the editors

Tamil MP killed for speaking out
High profile assassination demands massive response

On 10 November, Nadarajah Raviraj a Tamil MP in Sri Lanka, was killed.
Nadarajah Raviraj was a well-known human rights lawyer, politically close to the Liberation Tamil Tigers of Eelam and had been Mayor of the northern city of Jaffna. He was involved in the Civil Monitoring Committee (CMC) which has been investigating the recent spate of brutal kidnappings and killings of Tamils.
The Chairperson and chief spokesperson of the CMC is Siritunga Jayasuriya, secretary of the United Socialist Party (CWI, Sri Lanka). A Sri Lankan paper carried an article last week saying that Siritunga himself is a prime target for the killers. He is constantly receiving death threats. Friday’s outrageous and provocative high profile killing is obviously aimed at silencing those who speak out against the government and in defence of the Tamil minority.

The CWI is calling for urgent support. PLEASE READ FULL STORY AT www.socialistworld.net and find out what you can do.
