Hundreds of British Tamils gathered at Downing Street in London yesterday, to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Black July pogrom.
Over 3000 Tamils were massacred during the pogrom which saw Sinhala mobs target Tamil homes and businesses, looting and ransacking property, as well as rounding up Tamils and burning them alive.
