British Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn reiterates his calls for justice and self determination for the Tamil people

British opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn pledged his solidarity in seeking justice and self determination for the Tamil people.

“I offer my deepest sympathies to the family, friends and loved ones of those that died during the final days and weeks of Sri Lanka’s armed conflict,”

“My thoughts today are also with the wider Tamil community who have shouldered injustice for decades and remain resolute in their determination for justice.”

“We will stand with you in your pursuit of truth, justice, accountability, reconciliation and self-determination in Sri Lanka.”

“Only with a true reckoning with its past will Sri Lanka be set on the path to lasting peace,” he said in a statement issued to mark the 7th year Mullivaikkal Genocide Remembrance.
