The Tamil Eelam Supporters Organisation (TESO) calls for a State-wide general strike in Tamil Nadu stirred a widespread response, resulting in arrests and small incidents of violence.
TESO called for a general strike to put pressure on the Indian government to vote against Sri Lanka when the final draft of a U.S sponsored resolution on Sri Lanka is tabled at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) later this month.
TESO consists of several parties and trade unions that support the Eelam Tamil's calls for statehood.

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
