Thousands of Tamils gather in London months after the Sri Lankan final assault against the Tamil Tigers ends in the deaths of tens of thousands of Tamils in Sri Lanka.

At present, the appalling brutality of the Sri Lankan Ultra-Nationalist government plays out another histrionic episode, the forced incarceration of hundreds of thousands of Tamils in concentration camps on the island.

Despite international pressure, the Sri Lankan government continue their policy of eradicating the representatives of the Tamil nation by filtering out LTTE sympathisers from within the camps, many of whom are now missing and unaccounted for.

The protest demands that the Sri Lankan Government release those incarcerated immediately.

Later in the afternoon, calls are made for the the Sri Lankan Government to be investigated for war crimes, the expulsion of Sri Lanka from the Commonwealth and the consideration of sanctions against against individual members of the Sri Lankan Government and its cartels, preventing them from freely travelling, working or studying within the EU.

Please put up Tamil protests in advance, Ive tried to get involved in protests

19.10.2009 20:07

before but its tricky, tamils as a group are mostly buhhdist & have been treated badly by most of the Hindu population for many years. Some Tamil Tigers have reacted to big attrocities with smaller attrocities of their own, but thats no excuse for massacaring thousands & putting 100,000s in camps.
Shame on the UN for not intervening before it got this bad& Brown & Obama etc for turning away.

The Sri lankan-Tamil community & supporters need to put up protest details here in advance, on wonder your demos are quite well defended but not diverse enough. Dont just appeal to just Tamail Buhhdists & mainstream media, get UK people who work for democracy involved now!
Indymedias diverse readership-activists are your best allies from the public & have people everywhere, every community contains nuts, dont just use the corporate media.
