USTPAC mourns the passing of Mr. JM Rajaratnam. Mr.

Rajaratnam has been a


fearless advocate for Tamil rights, and provided leadership for decades in the US on
Tamil affairs.

A well accomplished global figure, strategist and thinker, he dedicated his talent and
resources for the emancipation and welfare of Tamils in the political, economic and
humanitarian spheres.

As one who seeks no fame or glory, no one knows the full extent of his philanthropic
and action oriented initiatives that have served well the humanity at large.

I am fortune to have known Mr. Rajaratnam since the 1991 University of Sacramento
conference on Tamil self-determination. When USTPAC was formed in 2009, he
became an ardent supporter of our advocacy projects, and projects for prosecution and
evidence collection of war crimes in Sri Lanka. He had been a trusted adviser to
USTPAC, and we will miss him dearly.

On behalf of USTPAC and Tamil Americans, we convey our deepest sympathies to his
wife and children and the extended family. May his soul rest in Gods peace and
continue to guide us in the path to justice and liberty. - Elias J eyarajah
