The <em>Maaveerar Naal<\/em> or Tamil Heroes&#8217; Day is to commemorate the first death occurred in our armed struggle to freedom, after so many ahimsa protests were brutally beaten and so many anti-Tamil riots.

Sri Lanka imposes emergency law almost continuously last two decades. More over, the state terror Sri Lankan government openly violated human rights, sponsoring paramilitary and deadly military to kill Tamils and political enemies. There is no single ban against the state terror Sri Lankan government. As a Tamil, my only single question is that when will you advocate tangible actions against Sri Lanka to stop the state terrorism?<\/p>\n<p>I have posted this letter on my blog at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/\/1letter.adadaa.net\/2007\/12\/03\/national-posts-false-report\/\" title=\"National Post\u2019s false report  \" rel=\"noopener\">National Post\u2019s false report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>______<br \/>\nCAPitalZ<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>This letter was read by <\/span>jkay@nationalpost.com<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">03\/12\/2007 10:55 AM<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>This letter was read by <\/span>SMeurice@nationalpost.com<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">03\/12\/2007 10:57 AM<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><font color=\"#ff0000\"><span>This letter was was deleted without being read on by <\/span><span>RRoberts@nationalpost.com<\/span><span><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><font color=\"#ff0000\">03\/12\/2007 10:57 AM<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To: DKelly@nationapost.com, SMeurice@nationalpost.com, JKay@nationalpost.com, RRoberts@nationalpost.com Date: 2007\/12\/03 @ 10:54 AM [GMT-5] Dear Editors, I have known National Post as a very aggressive media against our Tamil Freedom struggle.
