Tamils continue protests
[Toronto Star]
Dozens of Tamil protesters calling for intervention in the Sri Lanka civil war remain at Queen’s Park this morning, while another group has assembled outside the Sri Lankan consulate near Yonge St. and St. Clair Ave. Gathered on a portion of sidewalk at 40 St. Clair Ave. W. – but not obstructing pedestrian or vehicle traffic – the group of about 35 protestors chanted “Canada take immediate action” and “Sri Lankan government, terrorist government.” The protesters are demanding international sanctions against the Sri Lankan government until it enters into a ceasefire with Tamil rebels in the country’s north.
