Hundreds of Tamils staged a protest outside the UN office in Geneva yesterday (Monday) where the UN Human Rights Council is currently meeting, the Tamil Guardian website reported.
The website said that Tamils came from across Europe to take part in the mass demonstration and rally demanding justice for the alleged genocide in Sri Lanka and a referendum on independence.
Carrying banners and placards decrying the ongoing military occupation of the North-East and stating “Our Homeland Tamil Eelam” and “Tamil sovereignty cannot be compromised!”, diaspora Tamils marched through the city, past the Palais des Nations where the UN Human Rights Council’s 27th session is currently taking place.
