Tamils protest outside Number 10 as Cameron prepares to leave for CHOGM

Tamils in the UK protested opposite the Prime Minister's residence at Number 10 on Wednesday afternoon, as David Cameron prepared to depart for CHOGM.

The protest took place as Tamils in Valikaamam North protested against on-going land grabs and Tamils protested in Vavuniya against the disappearances of their loves ones, after being blocked from traveling to Colombo by the Sri Lankan police.


Tweeting from the protest in Valikaamam North, Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam of the TNPF, said that nails were being thrown under vehicles suspected of carrying Tamils to the protest.

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
