British Tamils protest against Sri Lankan president

Protestors in London are currently demonstrating against Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena, who is visiting the United Kingdom today.

Demonstrators gathered outside the Commonwealth Secretariat and demanded justice for victims of genocide, as Mr Sirisena attended an anti-corruption summit today.

The protest, organised by the British Tamils Forum, is set to continue tomorrow.

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
