Q. Who is taking threir land from them?
A. After independence, in 1984, the power was given by Britain to the systematic persecution and repression of the Tamil people (3 million).
Tamil people have been losing thaire land since the 1930's when Sinhalese families started being settled on the borders of the Tamil areas.
In recent years more than a million Tamil people have fled their homes in the far North of the island as the Sri Lankan armed forces took over Tamil towns and villages, bombing and destroying homes, public buildings, crops and farmland. The Sri Lankan government is stopping food and medicine getting to hundreds of thousands of refugees. Over 60,000 Tamil civilians have been killed since 1983.
