Three doctors Thurairaja Varatharajah, Thangamuttu Sathyamurthi and V. Shanmugarajah risked their own lives in the final stages of the war in Sri Lanka to treat hundreds of innocent Tamils. On May 15, they were arrested by Sri Lankan authorities and are being secretly detained.
The whereabouts of the medical practitioners who provided much needed medical assistance to badly wounded Tamil civilians are still unknown. Sign this petition to tell the Sri Lankan government these heroic doctors must be released and allowed to return to their lives immediately.
We the undersigned urge the Sri Lankan government to free doctors Thurairaja Varatharajah, Thangamuttu Sathyamurthi and V. Shanmugarajah who risked their own lives in the final stages of the war in Sri Lanka to treat hundreds of innocent Tamils.
We are shocked that the Sri Lankan government has secretly detained three medical practitioners who did nothing more than perform their duty to provide much needed medical assistance to badly wounded Tamil civilians. They must be released and allowed to return to their lives immediately.
