Hi everyone,
Please read the email from Amnesty International below, and consider reposting this if you can’t donate. Time is running out for innocents massacred in the conflict in Sri Lanka. If you can, please donate to help stop conflict in Sri Lanka:
“Amnesty International, along with Human Rights Watch, brought to light a startling set of satellite images last Tuesday that provided proof positive of the shocking, previously unknown extent of the violence committed by both parties in the conflict in Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lankan government has demonstrated that it will go to any length to stop news of the conflict from leaving the country. It has continually deported foreign reporters – including one as recently as yesterday. It's even gone so far as to kill and imprison Sri Lankan journalists in order to stifle the truth about the violence in the country.
This poses a major barrier to getting accurate information and corroborating reports from those on the conflict's front lines. But as long as we and our allies in the struggle to uphold human rights are bearing witness to these atrocities, neither side of the conflict can stop us from showing the whole world the truth about the appalling scene that's playing out in the country.”
