There is ferment among Tamil-speaking people around the world over the slaughter taking place in the north of Sri Lanka. Over 2,000 people have died already in recent weeks. Nearly 200,000 Tamil people are still trapped in the warzone. The Rajapakse government refuses to cooperate in a ceasefire to evacuate them. All critics of the government are silenced.
An international campaign to demand an end to this slaughter and to fight for democratic and trade union rights has been launched from a meeting in Chennai, India.
A launch meeting for this campaign in Britain is being organised for Saturday 21 March at Conway hall, London at 6pm. Nearest Tube Holborn. For more information please contact Senan on 07908050217 or at senann@hotmail.com.
