Photographs TamilMirror


Tamils in Valikaamam North began a five day hunger strike this morning in protest against the High Security Zone and the on-going land grabs by the Sri Lankan state within the North-East.

Yesterday protest organisers received death warnings, as they woke up to the heads of dead cows on their door steps. See here.



The protest takes place as Sri Lanka welcomes numerous heads of state to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Colombo.
