Pro-Tamil Protest

I stumbled upon a protest by ethnic Tamil's one of the main ethnic minorities in Sri Lanka who were trying to raise awareness of the bloody conflict underway in the island nation off the coast of India. The protesters ultimately aimed to persuade the Australian government put pressure on the Sri Lankan military to stop the attacks on the Tamil Tigers. Media and NGO's have been barred from the conflict zone, but reports of mass civilian casualties are prevalent.



More about the conflict.
