Tamil's protest at Heathrow Airport

The Tamils and others who are opposed to the dictatorship of President Rajapakse regime in Sri Lanka are planning a massive protest demonstrations in Oxford for Thursday.

Buses from various cities of Britain are being arranged to carry the protesters to demonstrate the opposition to President Rajapakse and grab international attention of the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the military forces last year. The US has special interest and responsibility as the two Rajapakse brothers are US citizens.

The former army commander and Presidential candidate General Fonseka who is a permanent resident and scheduled to become a US citizen soon is suffering in jail in Weilkade.

Legal moves are being also undertaken by a battery of lawyers in London, against President Rajapakse under the current British laws against war crimes. Meanwhile, the Tamils are concentrating on the Thursday’s protest.
