Tamil Tiger supporters protest in SydneyVincent Morello

March 28, 2009

Thousands of Tamil Tiger supporters marched down Sydney streets to protest the civil war that has ravaged Sri Lanka for decades.

Sydney's CBD suffered traffic congestion and delays as approximately 2,000 men, women and children gathered at Martin Place on Saturday and marched to Town Hall, where a rally was held.

Coffins, children stained with fake blood and a man dressed as a tiger and armed with a sword were just some of the portrayals represented in the march.

They carried signs displaying the slogans: "Free Tamil", "Tamils are not Sri Lankans" and "The charge is genocide, the struggle is for freedom".

The Tamil Youth Organisation (TYO) of Australia organised the march and the rally, which gathered in the forecourt between Town Hall and St Andrew's Anglican Cathedral.

TYO representative Jay Nathan spoke to the crowd, describing the difference between life in Australia and life in the island nation of Sri Lanka.

"I see my fellow Tamils living in Sri Lanka and I am overcome with sorrow to see that they are denied the luxuries that I enjoy here in Australia," Ms Nathan said.

"They live their lives in fear of persecution, abduction and death because of who they are."

She said oppression against Tamil civilians had lasted more than 60 years with the government controlling the media and prohibiting access by overseas aid organisations to the conflict zones.

She repeated the call for the Tamil-controlled provinces to be allowed to secede from Sri Lanka and become an independent state.

Adrian Francis, also a TYO representative, said the United Nations estimated that nearly 2,700 Tamil civilians had been killed and more than 7,200 injured from late-January to early-March in 2009.

"To me it is beyond evidence that the sole agenda of the government of Sri Lanka is to wipe out the Tamil population," Mr Francis told the crowd.

"These are our brothers, these are our sisters, mothers, fathers, everything - all lost, lost lives, lost dreams.

"We ask the Australian government to listen to our plea, to understand that these our brothers and sisters we are losing in this conflict."

The Tamil Tigers, known officially as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), are listed as a terrorist organisation by more than 30 countries.

Police said no arrests were made during the protest.

Protesters call for end to 'Tamil genocide'

Up to two thousand people have protested in Sydney's CBD against what they say is a genocide of Sri Lankan Tamils by the country's military.

The demonstration was organised by the Tamil Youth Organisation, who say the rally will serve as a 'graphical description of the horrors of ethnic cleansing through art'.

"If we do not act now, an entire race of people will be terminated in a matter of months", Jana Sivaram, head of the Tamil Youth Organisation, says.

HUNDREDS of people gathered in the centre of Sydney yesterday to protest against the Sri Lankan Government's treatment of Tamils.

The Tamil Youth Organisation said the "visual protest" - using coffins, barbed wire and dolls representing civilians caught up in the conflict - aimed to draw attention to "the horrors of ethnic cleansing through art" by drawing on elements of dance and theatre.

More than 800 ethnic Tamils from Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra made their way from Martin Place to Town Hall in what was the latest in a series of global protests denouncing the alleged genocide of Tamils by the Sri Lankan Government.

"If we do not act now, an entire race of people will be terminated in a matter of months," organiser Jana Sivaram said.

Last week, the United Nations also called for both sides to halt the conflict to allow humanitarian aid to reach between 150,000 and 190,000 people caught in the crossfire as the Sri Lankan Government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam fight for control of the country's north-east.
