Are we helping the Sri Lankan government to destroy our own people?

Has it ever occurred to you many of us that we may indeed be helping the Sri Lankan government to buy arms abroad to devastate our own people?

Today more than ever, Sri Lankan government policy is increasingly marked by arrogance and brutality. 

An economic boycott is an effective non-violent tool with which we the concerned citizens around the world can vote with our wallets against the hard line policies of Sri Lanka.

By boycotting Sri Lankan government products and services, we can put pressure on the Sri Lankan government to adhere the international communities’ request to pursue peace, comply with the rules of the United Nations and international law. The same way Mahatma Gandhi drove out the British Empire out of India.

We must encourage our people to boycott Sri Lankan products in the Diaspora; not to buy air lines tickets from Sri Lankan Air; not to invest in Sri Lanka, not to travel to Sri Lanka unnecessarily and we must do this as a systematic campaign.
