Global Tamil Forum on Sri Lanka Election: Low Tamil Turnout Reflects their Disillusion in the Sri Lankan Political System

London (PRWEB) April 23, 2010 The Global Tamil Forum views the parliamentary election in Sri Lanka conducted on April 8, as an election that was imposed on the Tamil speaking people of the island. The Tamils living in a highly militarized oppressive condition continue to undergo many forms of immense suffering, depravation of the basic necessities of life, denial of freedom, fear and intimidation. There are still about 100,000 Tamils housed in military run internment camps and their rights have been denied. Thousands of Tamils have been denied their rights to vote in this election. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/04/prweb3911714.htm
