Doing something far away from the war in Sri Lanka

What If You Had One Week Day Left To Stop Mass Ethnic Cleansing? (Updated) | pass the roti on the left hand side


1. Read up to date news from International Red Cross on civilians in the North East

2. If you are an Indian citizen or a membner of the Indian diaspora, sign Professor Qadri Ismail's petition to the Indian Mission at the UN.

3. If you are a resident of the United States or otherwise interested, call your Congresspeople and tell them to pay attention and to stop the war in Sri Lanka or whatever message you think is most useful for making sure that 100,000 people don't end up destroyed in the next few days/weeks/months..

4. For all, a petition circulated by the World at a Crossroads conference

5. Write, call, e-mail, fax or otherwise contact the Sri Lankan embassy or consulate in your area or whatever one you want and tell them what you think.  My suggestion is to stop any military action that does not allow civilians to live and that does not allow for international monitoring of the same, but there are many other points of view that people have, which you can see in the comments below or the links people have provided.  You can look up a Sri Lankan embassy/consulate contact information by entering the host country in the top dropbox and clicking on search below the bottom box.
