Brian Haw talks to Thaya Idaikkadar
Tamils are horrified by the continuing repression in Sri Lanka and demonstrated to draw attention to the increasing violence against the Tamil populaton and the imminent threat of civil war in that country.
Idaikkadar, a British Citizen of Sri Lankan origin, is a diabetic, and the fast could put his health in particular danger. A team of doctors will work in shifts through the vigil to supervise his condition.
