Raise your voice for the rights of Jaffna's student community

Imagine the army patroling every single day on your campus. They threaten you with violence and death based on your ethnical origin. Your friends and fellow students are being tortured and killed. Others remain missing without a trace. Every morning you wake up with a weird feeling, the question whether you'll return home this evening will remain unanswered.

The fear of being the next victim of harassment when entering university is omnipresent.


Do you think this is an unrealistic scenario in the 21st century? Unfortunately it is not. This is exactely what happens every day at the University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka. Do you consider it inhumane, against human rights and against fundamental liberties? That's what we think! Help these students by simply giving us your sign and letting them know that their sorrow isn't forgotten. Every sign counts!
