British Tamil university students handed over a statement to the British Prime Minister’s residence on Thursday afternoon, condemning the attacks by Sri Lankan state forces on Jaffna university students and call for the immediate release of detained students.
The statement, which was initially drafted by the Tamil Youth Organisation UK, has grown to include 18 university Tamil societies from across the United Kingdom.
Representatives from University College London, Imperial College London, King’s College London, Queen Mary University of London and the Tamil Youth Organisation UK delivered the statement as the British Parliament prepared to take recess for the Christmas period.

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
