Tamil protesters vent their fury
[BBC]
Hundreds of Tamil protesters camped out in Parliament Square, having been moved on from nearby Westminster Bridge, which they had blocked overnight with a mass sit-down demonstration. The police, who were filming the protest, have come in for criticism. Some protesters said officers had been heavy-handed in moving them on from Westminster Bridge. One told the BBC: “I’ve been in England for 10 years now and I’ve always respected the police. But now I have lost all of that respect. “The police are terrible in the way they have handled themselves. They are despicable.”
