Black July 1983 was a state-backed anti-Tamil pogrom that changed our history forever. We remember those who were killed, those forced into exile, and the Sinhalese who stood in solidarity. Truth. Justice. Accountability. Never Forget. #BlackJuly #TamilHistory #SriLanka #July83 https://t.co/VhwK1QsdgZ
