The All Party Parliamentary Group for Tamils (APPG-T) has received credible information that the Sri Lankan Government Forces are preparing for a final onslaught on the ‘Safe Zone’ by air, sea and land. This will result in a humanitarian carnage of unimaginable magnitude with an estimated, over 100,000 civilians encircled within a dense area. Such an offensive in a densely populated area could potentially cause over 10,000 civilians being killed instantly.

The APPG-T appeals to Her Majesty's Government, NGOs and Governments around the world, to act immediately to prevent this devastation in the "No Fire Zone".

Britain’s fatal inaction adds another 1,000 civilians to the death toll in just 24 hours        [Press release by BTF 21.04.2009]

Over 1,000 civilians have been killed, including c470 children, in the Sri Lankan Army’s latest assault into the “Safe Zone” which commenced in the early hours of Monday, 20 April. Four infants less than a year old lost their mothers. Cluster bombs and poisonous gas were used against civilians in this attack. Sri Lankan forces used over 200 Tamil civilians as human shields during their push towards the ‘no fire zone’. This, we have learnt from credible sources within the conflict area.

similar story in their ‘World Today’ program.

The event was part of the worldwide protest by Tamils against the international community’s inaction in the face of Genocide, with overwhelming evidence, demanding justice and urgent action from the International Community.
The march commenced at the Embankment beside the River Thames at 1pm and snaked through famous London landmarks of Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Green Park, Park Lane and Marble Arch to reach the Hyde Park for a rally at 4.30pm. As the front of the march was reaching Hyde Park protesters were still joining the march near its starting point at Embankment.
Protesters of all ages including children waving Tamil Eelam National flags and flags of the Union Jack shouted slogans including, ‘Britain Act Now - Immediate and Permanent Ceasefire in Sri Lanka’, ‘Stop Killing Tamils’ and ‘Food & Medicine - Sri Lanka’s weapons of War’.  [More......]
