The Weekend Leader - 'India should support economic sanctions against Sri Lanka'

'India should support economic sanctions against Sri Lanka'

14-February-2013

The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) has welcomed Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s strong stand “in calling for economic sanctions against Sri Lanka and her reiteration of the resolution passed by the Tamil Nadu Assembly”.

In a statement issued on Thursday, TGTE’s Minister for Economic Development and Environment, Nimal Vinayagamoorthy, has urged India and the other UNHRC members to support the demand.

The TGTE also renewed its call “for a UN Security Council sponsored embargo against Sri Lanka and for an ICC referral to look into the charge of genocide against Sri Lanka’s political and military leaders in addition to war crimes and crimes against humanity”.

Nimal said in the statement: “Not only has the Sri Lankan President ruled out any autonomy for the Tamil people, he has rejected all calls for accountability for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.” – TWL Bureau
