UK Tamils protest against repression of memorialisation

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.
