Concentration Camp.
Children inside the pen.
Red flags, Black flags and questions.
Human Rights, Genocide, War Crimes and...
The image of an elderly woman now dead.
Where is my nephew?
Downing Street.
The Tamils united.
Pause and reflection...for a moment.
They gather at Hyde Park in London and march to Embankment. At their head, is a graphic representation of the situation is it now stands, a detention pen symbolising a Sri Lankan concentration camp.
Behind the pen, tens of thousands of Tamils hold black flags to remember those who have died on the island.
They are joined by a rank of women carrying framed images of relatives that have been lost. Among the flags are thousands of placards setting out the primary injustice suffered by the Tamils and questions left unanswered.

Is it not there are upto 300, 000 detained illegally in camps alone.
This after the international communit yurged for them to leave what was turned into a war zone, their traditional homeland.
Are you saying there were another 130, 000 people in the Vanni apart from the 300, 000 in recently put up camps.
There are many camps for refugees from war and tsunami separate to the recently opened ones.
