Leading Tamil Nationalism Activist in Australia passes away in melbourne

T Jeyakumar, Leading Tamil Nationalism Activist in Australia passes away in melbourne today ( 29th March 2007 ). Tamil Australians salute for his decades of great contribution to the betterment of Tamil Community. He was an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) lecturer attached to Melbourne's Chisholm Institute of TAFE.

He is soft spoken and kind hearted but is determined and courageous in his activities against any form of oppression directed against the Tamil Community by racial fanatics, a close friend said.

He has correctly understood that the basic aim of the Sinhala Chauvenists in Sri Lanka is to eliminate the entire Tamil Community there through systemic genocide of Tamils.His service to the oppressed Tamils in this respect is something unforgettable. Tamils all over the world pay their humble respects and thankful remembrance for his dedicated services, a Community leader in Sydney said.

To this day he stood for the prevention of cruelty against Tamils by the State machinery of Sri Lanka representing the majority Sinhalese. His untimely death has not taken away the cause he stood for.

We dedicate ourselves to continue his peaceful strugle against ethnic clensing until Tamils live in Peace in their homeland unfettered by the shackles imposed by the Sri Lankan state, another Tamil Nationalism Activist in Melbourne said.
