country's deteriorating human rights record, says a report that was to
be released at a Conservative party fundraiser last night. The report, written by a group of Ontario lawyers and Canadians of Sri

Asian nation, where there have been rising government-backed killings
and abductions.

massacre of 17 Sri Lankan tsunami aid workers in 2006 and accused the
government of an outright cover-up. At the time, the killing of the local workers from aid group Action

compound in Baghdad.

| Sharing my thoughts with the Tamil Diaspora |
Children are resilient and if given the chance they bounce back. I soon
forgot and overcame the bad memories thanks to my people and Jaffna. I
was just a little girl and I was swept away by the simple beauty of my
hometown Chavakachcheri – the lush paddy fields, the tall palmyrahs,
the mango groves and the hot white sand that made me hop and jump when
I tried walking barefoot to the kovil close by. Jaffna healed me and my
horrific memories of the riots.
