Dear IIFA Directors/Sponsors/Concerned,

I am in an enormous shock to see such a dignified forum is planning

to have its prestigious award ceremony in a land that is accused of

war crimes and genocide. People from across the globe are condemning

the Human rights violations of Srilankan government.

And civilized society is fighting hard to establish the justice to

the tamils. Killing of nearly 1,40,000 innocents, war crimes,

ongoing slaughter on the journalists, moderates, reformists, artists

and having opposition leader behind the bars make the Srilanka as a

criminal and a failed state.

People’s Permanent Tribunal found Srilanka guilty of war crimes and

Genocide.

UN’s Human Rights Chief is critical of Lankan government Human rights

records.
US human rights report accused Lankan rulers for the Human Rights

violations.

I urge you to change the venue of your event; else this will

strengthen and encourage the government that is involved in the

human rights violations. It will be too ugly and gory to have the

favorite stars to dance in the Tamils’ graveyard.

This is the high time for you to respect not just the sentiments of

Tamils across globe but more importantly respecting the human rights.

Please change the venue to a different country. It will honor you.

For your reference i am attaching the website
(http://www.tamilsagainstgenocide.org/) which provides more details about
the war crimes committed against the Tamils in Sri Lanka.


Yours Truly,

Boobalan Pachaiyappan
