| #MassGravesInSriLanka | #UNActNow 🕯️ "Our Land Holds the Truth – Let the World Hear Our Cry." 📍Chemmani, Jaffna – June 23,24 and 25 2025 Over two decades after the Chemmani mass graves were uncovered, the truth remains buried—along with the lives and stories of the Tamil civilians who disappeared between 1996–1997 during the Sri Lankan military’s occupation of Jaffna. 🕳️ In 1999, only 15 bodies were recovered during an exhumation, despite a soldier's confession that over 300 people were secretly buried in Chemmani. Political interference, lack of will, and state silence have kept families in the dark ever since. 📢 Now, on June 23, 2025, the families of the disappeared have reignited their call for justice with a 3-day protest near Chemmani Kovil. Their demands are clear: ✅ Reopen the Chemmani mass grave investigation immediately. ✅ Conduct a full, independent international inquiry with UN oversight. ✅ Excavate all suspected grave sites in Chemmani and the North-East. ✅ Ensure justice for all victims of enforced disappearances. 📣 We call on UN bodies, human rights organizations, and the international community to support this struggle for truth and accountability. These families have waited too long. Justice delayed is justice denied. ✊🏾 Stand with Chemmani. 🕊️ Demand truth. Demand justice. #ChemmaniMassGraves #EnforcedDisappearances #TransitionalJustice #SriLanka #UNHumanRights #AccountabilityNow #NeverForget #Jaffna Here are the Tamil and Sinhala translations of the Facebook post on the Chemmani mass graves protest. 🕯️ "எங்கள் மண்ணில் உண்மை புதைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது – உலகம் கேட்கட்டும் எங்கள் அழுகை." 📍செம்மணி, யாழ்ப்பாணம் – ஜூன் 23, 2025 1996–1997 காலப்பகுதியில் யாழ்ப்பாணம் தமிழ் மக்களின் கட்டாயமாக்கப்பட்ட காணாமல் போக்குகளுக்குப் பிறகு, செம்மணி பகுதியில் இராணுவத்தினால் புதைக்கப்பட்ட மாஸ் கல்லறைகள் உலகத்தால் மறக்கப்பட்டு விட்டன. 🕳️ 1999-ல் வெளிநாட்டு நிபுணர்களின் முன்னிலையில் நடைபெற்ற அகழ்வுப் பணியில் 15 உடல்கள் மட்டுமே கண்டெடுக்கப்பட்டன. ஆனால் 300-க்கும் மேற்பட்டவர்கள் புதைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளதாக இராணுவ வீரர் ஒருவர் நீதிமன்றத்தில் வாக்குமூலம் அளித்திருந்தார். 📢 2025 ஜூன் 23-இல், காணாமல் ஆக்கப்பட்டவர்களின் உறவுகள் மீண்டும் நியாயம் கோரி செம்மணி கோயிலருகே 3 நாட்கள் போராட்டத்தை ஆரம்பித்துள்ளனர். மக்கள் கோரிக்கை: ✅ செம்மணி மாஸ் கல்லறைகள் மீண்டும் முழுமையாக அகழ வேண்டும். ✅ ஐ.நா. மேற்பார்வையுடன் சுயாதீன மற்றும் சர்வதேச விசாரணை நடத்த வேண்டும். ✅ யாழ் மற்றும் வடகிழக்குப் பகுதிகளில் உள்ள அனைத்து சந்தேகத்தக்க இடங்களையும் விசாரிக்க வேண்டும். ✅ காணாமல் ஆக்கப்பட்டவர்களுக்கு நீதியை உறுதி செய்ய வேண்டும். 📣 ஐக்கிய நாடுகள் அமைப்பும், மனித உரிமைகள் அமைப்புகளும், சர்வதேச சமூகம் முழுவதும் இந்த நீதிக்கான போராட்டத்திற்கு ஆதரவு தரவேண்டும்! நீதியை பிறரிடம் எதிர்பார்க்கிறோம். உண்மையை உலகம் கேட்கட்டும்! #ChemmaniMassGraves #EnforcedDisappearances #JusticeForTamils #SriLanka #UNHumanRights #AccountabilityNow #Jaffna 🕯️ "අපගේ බිම යටු වෙලා තියෙන්නේ සත්‍යයයි – ලෝකය අපේ හඬ අසා ගන්න!" 📍චෙම්මනි, යාපනය – 2025 ජූනි 23 1996–1997 කාලයේදී යාපනය දිස්ත්‍රික්කයේ දෙමළ ජනතාව අත්අඩංගුවට ගත් පසු හමුදාව විසින් මරා දමන ලදී යැයි කියන චෝදනා මත චෙම්මනි ගම්මානයේ ගොඩනැගුණු ස්ථාන වර්තමානයේ දක්නට ඇත. 🕳️ 1999 දී හමුදා සෙබලෙකුගේ සත්‍ය ප්‍රකාශය මත ආරම්භ කළ නීතිමය විමර්ශනයකදී ශරීර 15ක් පමණක් සොයා ගැනිනි. නමුත් ශරීර 300ක පමණ සංඛ්‍යාවක් සිටින බව එම සෙබලයා පැවසීය. 📢 2025 ජූනි 23 වන දින, චෙම්මනි කෝවිල අසළදී දිනයන් 3ක විරෝධතාවයක් ආරම්භ කරමින්, අතුරුදන් වූවන්ගේ පවුල්වල සාමාජිකයන් නැවතත් අඛණ්ඩ සත්‍යය සොයා යුක්තිය ඉල්ලමින් සිටිති. මූලික ඉල්ලීම්: ✅ චෙම්මනි භූමදාන ස්ථානය සම්පූර්ණයෙන්ම නැවත විමර්ශනය කළ යුතුය. ✅ ජාත්‍යන්තර හා ස්වාධීන විමර්ශනයක් සිදු විය යුතුය – UN අධීක්ෂණය යටතේ. ✅ උතුර සහ නැගෙනහිර හි සැක සහිත සියලු ස්ථානවල පුරා සත්‍යය හෙළි කළ යුතුය. ✅ අතුරුදන් වූවන්ට සාධාරණය ලබා දිය යුතුය. 📣 අපි UN හා ජාත්‍යන්තර මානව හිමිකම් ආයතනගෙන් සහය ඉල්ලා සිටිමු. චෙම්මනි අමතක නොකරන්න! අපේ සත්‍යය ජීවත්වන්නට දිය යුතුය. #ChemmaniMassGraves #JusticeForTheDisappeared #SriLankaHumanRights #UNActNow #TruthAndJustice #Jaffna
