Sri Lanka: Rajapaksa’s world school of brutality

Tamil Solidarity exposes the arrogant way Rajapaksa answers the UN report

The CWI supports the struggle of Tamil Solidarity for the rights of all workers and oppressed people in Sri Lanka. In a recent article Manny Thain, British national secretary of Tamil Solidarity writes: "The Sri Lankan regime of Mahinda Rajapaksa has responded in a typically arrogant way to the UN report into the massacre of tens of thousands of Tamil-speaking people in 2009.
