A group of Sri Lankans protested against the UNHRC resolution on Sri Lanka outside British Prime Minister David Cameron's office in London this weekend, telling the UK and the international community to ‘keep your hands off a peaceful Sri Lanka’. 

The protest, organised by “Sri Lankan Living in UK”, saw protestors wave placards which read “Is defeating terrorism a war crime?”, ”USA & Britain are hypocrites” and “Our vote bag is bigger than LTTE”.


As the protest concluded, a Buddhist monk handed over a petition to the British Prime Minister’s office at 10 Downing Street.



Various posters for the event were being circulated on social media this week, in Sinhalese and English, called on protestors to come together for the “motherland” to prevent the UN Human Rights Council from passing a resolution at Geneva.
