Monday 20th of April 2009 Sri Lankan Army attack targeting civilian areas using cluster bombs, gas bombs and heavy weapons was planned to inflict more damages to people and force evict them in to army controlled areas. On Monday's indiscriminate attack on civilian areas more than 1500 died and 3500 or more injured, including hundreds of children.

The Sri Lanka Army that took hostages of around 1000 people who left for government controlled areas on the previous night and using them as human shields moved in to safe zone in the cover of the darkness by around 2:00 AM on Monday. The shelling was intensified by then and they were firing cluster bombs, gas bombs and phosphorous bombs inside civilian areas. 

Gas bombs emanate white smoke that creates nausea. After smoking that people were fainted for more than one and a half hours. People suspect the purpose of this bomb is to capture people alive and to take hostage of them to prove people are forcibly detained by LTTE and they have freed them.

Government of Sri Lanka is systematically doing a Tamil Genocide openly in this world since because of the deep silence of this International Community(IC). More than 6500 Tamils have been killed this year only. Isn't it a good price for the IC's Silence? or expecting some more like 20,000 or hundred thousand. If Tamils' fundamental rights have to be obtained only from deaths of our relatives and friends in hundreds, openly release a Statement  saying that IC's expecting one hundred thousand dead bodies of Tamils from Sri Lanka with a defined time period.

Tamils around the world is expecting a good response from IC, if we are speaking a true democratic and human rights. Else shutdown those organizations and live as ancients without cheating their selves and the world.

We know for sure our voices will not be counted and will be branded as ….., since we are asking for fundamental rights to live as human being in this world
