On 8th Anniversary of Genocide'83 - London
20 July 1991 |
|
On the 20th of July 1991, thousands of Tamils joined a
demonstration march on the streets of London. It was the 8th anniversary of the
July 83 massacre. The march was organised by the
International Federation of
Tamils. It commenced at Aldwych near the Indian High Commission, continued down
the Strand, past Westminister and ended in Hyde Park. The marchers protested
against Sri Lanka's sustained genocidal attack on the Tamil people and demanded:
'Lift Blockade of Essential Supplies to Tamil Eelam" "Stop aerial bombardment of
hospitals, temples, churches and Tamil civilians' and 'End colonisation of Tamil
homelands by armed Sinhala settlers'.
