This Saturday, Tamil Organisations in the UK come together to again march on Central London to highlight what has excalated into a slow genocide of their brethren back in Sri Lanka - a monumental human rights catastrophe which inexplicably and shamefully receives little to no coverage in the western media.

We've been here before. Previous Marchs by the Tamil community through London have received hardly any coverage. While the January march did receive limited mention ( http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/01/420858.html ), the 250,000+ attended march on April 11th received no mention in the UK media whatsoever (Ref:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/04/427545.html ).

Report about the last Tamil march on 20th June 2009:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/06/432974.html

That China and the western world economy has a special interest here probably explains this slience, with massive oil discovery off the East Coast of the island, and shipping terminals under construction in the East and South of the island to serve international shipping routes coming back and forth from China.

The new World Order dictates: silence to heinous genocide, suffering and human rights abuse, to serve the wider economic interest. Nothing must derail the economic recovery - not even the mere inconvenience of taking the time and trouble of monitoring the plight of 280,000 people in squalid, waterlogged, disease-ridden, barbed wire prison camps, some of whom are being left to slowly die.
