4 DAY LONG SIT-INS BEGIN ON UNIVERSITY AVENUE AS ATROCITIES AGAINST TAMILS CONTINUE IN SRI LANKA

On April 26th, 2009 another large-scale demonstration occurred where hundreds of protestors began a sit-in on University Avenue in front of the U.S. Consulate which extended over four days, continuing to demand international intervention. The community called upon the United States, Canada and the United Nations to put pressure on Sri Lanka to cease their aggressive military advances which injured and killed thousands of Tamil civilians.

Not only did the Tamil diaspora call upon the Canadian government to intervene, they also called on the U.S. government to put pressure on Sri Lanka and call for a ceasefire.
