Students Against Genocide of Tamils have announces action against M&S – Boycott Sri Lanka campaign
Marks & Spencer directly supports the genocide of the Tamil people with its unethical practices by continuing to open factories in a country with a horrendous human rights record.
Tens of thousands of Tamil civilians still remain behind barbed wire in concentration camps over a year on after the genocidal massacre of over 40,000 Tamil civilians.
M&S is actively involved in lobbying on Sri Lanka’s behalf to sweep these human rights violations under the carpet so that it can profit from the island’s textile industry.
Please support the boycott of M&S garments by attending this picket as they directly help pay for the genocide of an entire people in Sri Lanka

Organized by:Students Against Genocide of Tamils (S.A.G.T)
The boycott campaign is such an important step in bringing awareness to Sri Lanka’s war crimes and initiate global action to bring justice for the Tamil people who continue to suffer in the aftermath of last year’s genocide.
Companies like Next, M&S and GAP need to be named and shamed for profiteering from unethical practises. Their clothes and labels fund genocide, no amount of whitewashing can conceal their silent complicity. We as informed consumers need to speak with our feet by botcotting these corrupt businesses who put profits before human lives.
Keep up the good work!
