Tombol

To the Malik family and all of Tombol's friends,

I never had the chance to meet Tombol, but I am with you in grieving his loss. I am outraged with you at the release of his murderers. I am hoping with you that justice is ultimately done. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

The vigil last night was powerful, beautiful. The diversity of friends and supporters that attended says so much about Tombol, the kind of open and loving person he was: able to reach out and connect in world that wants to isolate, suffocate, violate.

I send you peace, hope, and love in this time of grief and outrage.

Yours,
Tanuja
