The Canadian Tamil Community (CTC) is deeply shocked and profoundly saddened at the killing of chief peace negotiator for the Tamils in Sri Lanka, Mr. S.P.Thamilselvan, by Sri Lankan government. Strongly condemning this deliberate, cruel and despicable act of the Sri Lankan state, the CTC in a press release said through targeting the chief peace negotiator of the Tamils, the Sri Lankan government has chosen to the shut the doors to a peaceful negotiated settlement for the civil war.

“We would like our Members of Parliament, our political parties of Canada and our Government of Canada to condemn this targeted killing immediately and to urge Sri Lanka to stop its military aggression against the Tamils in Sri Lanka”, it said.

The press release said thousands of Canadian Tamils will gather outside various constituency offices of Members of Parliament across the GTA from 11am to 1pm on Sunday (November 4).

“Thousands of concerned constituents across the GTA will assemble and present to their respective MPs with a petition outlining their request. Tamil Canadians urge all political parties and the Government of Canada to play an active and meaningful role in bringing a peaceful negotiated settlement to the civil war in Sri Lanka”, the press release added.
