Sri Lankans protest outside Ranil’s hotel in London after Queen’s funeral

A small group of British Sri Lankan protestors demonstrated outside a hotel in Central London this morning.

Approximately a dozen protestors gathered outside the InterContinental London Park Lane, where Sri Lankan president Ranil Wickremesinghe is thought to be staying.

The protestors held Sri Lankan flags and placards denouncing him as a “fake president”.

Though placards echoed one of the longstanding Tamil demands to repeal Sri Lanka’s Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), none of the other placards called for an international accountability mechanism for genocide or a complete demilitarisation of the North-East.
