Tamils in the UK protested against state repression and the detention of Thirumurugan Gandhi, leader of the Tamil Nadu-based May 17 movement.
Led by Tamil Solidarity, protestors gathered outside the Indian High Commission in London and called for an end to Indian and Tamil Nadu state repression of memorialisation.
Mr Gandhi and three other members of the May 17 organisation were arrested by Tamil Nadu police last month for organising Mullivaikkaal remembrance activities on Marina beach.

We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
