Dear Hon. Senator Bob Brown,

Good decent people and supporters of Human Rights would like to thank you for standing up for Human Rights and speaking out for the suffering families, men, women and children in the so called "No Fire zone" who are mercilessly killed on a daily basis, in North East Sri Lanka.

We deeply appreciate the motion that you put forward in the Parliament.

British Foreign Minister David Milliband, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, Federal Minister of European and International Affairs of Austria Michael Spindelegger took a strong stance after UN briefing, and slammed Sri Lanka for grave human right violations inside the "safe zone" AND in the "IDP camps" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhRWVLWPtnw).

In the light of these events unfolding at an international level, it is sad that the Australian Government has blocked your motion.

To look at wounded and dead children and their wailing mothers, after Sri Lanka shelled Mullivaikkal makeshift Hospital, for the 3RD TIME in a week, in the "No Fire zone" in North East of Sri Lanka - (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhRWVLWPtnw is heart wrenching.

The present North and East of Sri Lanka is the traditional Tamil homeland and Sri Lanka continues to kill and maim people that it claims to be it's own! - in the name of fighting LTTE rebels.

Tamil National Alliance leader MP R.Sampanthan, speaking from Colombo states, “The Government of Sri Lanka is mass killing Tamil civilians after denying them food and medicine. This is the reality. More bloodshed can happen in the next few days. We appeal to the International community to immediately stop this systematic slaughtering of civilians.”

Yours Truly,
