**Tamil Parliament Protest**
ttt | 20.04.2009 13:00
Today, Parliament is finally sitting again after having been absent from Westminster for Easter holidays.
Tamils have stepped up their protests, as 10-15 000 protesters are currently blocking Parliament Square and Whitehall, while the riot police is blocking Westminster Bridge.
As a non-Tamil having been on the demos, I was shocked to see how little support there has been from non-Tamil individuals and communities. The Sri Lankan government has used collective punishment, chemical weapons, cluster bombs and bloody counterinsurgency tactics against the Tamil population in Sri Lanka, barring humanitarian and press access.
It's time to show solidarity!
