Lanka
 
Sri

Sri

Dear
 
President
 
and
 
Prime
 
Minister:
 
On
 
 behalf
 
of
 
the
 
56,000
 
members
 
of
 
the
 
Canadian
 
Union
 
of
 
Postal
 
Workers,
 
I
 
must
 
strongly
 
condemn
 
your
 
government
 
for
 
their
 
involvement
 
in
 
the
 
slaying
 
of
 
Sri
 
Lankan
 
citizens
 
within
 
the
 
safety
 
zone.
 
We
 
have
 
received
 
information
 
that
 
at
 
least
 
71
 
civilians
 
were
 
killed
 
and
 
143
 
sustained
 
injuries
 
and
 
the
 
doctors
 
at
 
Puthumaaththa
ʹ
lan
 
makeshift
 
hospital
 
were
 
struggling
 
to
 
save
 
a
 
one
 
month
 
old
 
 baby.
 
The
 
shellings
 
and
 
attacks
 
have
 
 been
 
perpetrated
 
 by
 
the
 
Sri
 
Lankan
 
army.
 
These
 
 brutal
 
and
 
reckless
 
attacks
 
need
 
to
 
end.
 
The
 
Tamil
 
population
 
of
 
Sri
 
Lanka
 
has
 
a
 
fundamental
 
right
 
to
 
 be
 
protected
 
from
 
the
 
rampages
 
of
 
the
 
Sri
 
Lankan
 
army.
 
One
 
of
 
the
 
slogans
 
of
 
the
 
Canadian
 
Union
 
of
 
Postal
 
Workers
 
is
 
an
 
“Injury
 
to
 
one
 
is
 
an
 
injury
 
to
 
all”.
 
The
 
actions
 
of
 
your
 
government
 
in
 
killing
 
and
 
injuring
 
Tamil
 
civilians
 
have
 
affected
 
CUPW
 
members
 
in
 
Canada.
 
I
 
am
 
urging
 
you
 
to
 
stop
 
the
 
vicious
 
attacks
 
 by
 
the
 
Sri
 
Lankan
 
army
 
upon
 
the
 
Tamil
 
population.
