I rise to commemorate the 16th anniversary of the Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka. Today and every day, we stand in unity with the Eelam Tamil community. Survivors and their families are enduring ongoing struggles and oppression while they seek justice and recognition for their suffering from the Sri Lankan Government. We must shine a light on the Tamil people and what they have endured. We must advocate for a peaceful resolution that respects the rights and dignity of all. We must ensure that the atrocities, like those that have happened with the Tamil genocide, never happen again. The Tamil community's resilience in the face of adversity is a testament to their unwavering spirit and determination for justice. Let us all stand together with the Eelam Tamils.
