British Tamils held a candle light vigil Saturday evening opposite the Prime Minister’s official residence, 10 Downing Street, to remember victims of Sri Lanka’s 1983 ‘Black July’ anti-Tamil pogrom.

A thousand people dressed in black and carrying black flags and Eelam national flags, held a vigil between 6 and 9 pm, with lit candles and banners commemorating the pogrom.
For several hours before the vigil began, activists and supporters handed out leaflets in the surrounding Whitehall area.
The events were organised by the British Tamil Forum (BTF).
