British Tamils protest as Northern Province governor visits London

Dozens of protestors gathered in London yesterday to protest against Sri Lanka’s Northern Province Governor Reginald Cooray, who is visiting London this week.

The protestors condemned Cooray’s role in the overseeing the ongoing militarisation and Sinhalisation of the Tamil homeland, and called for him to stop protecting accused Sri Lankan war criminals.

The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam, which organised the protest, said Cooray is evading protesters by changing his event venues.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
