British Tamil university students handed over a statement to the British Prime Minister’s residence on Thursday afternoon, condemning the attacks by Sri Lankan state forces on Jaffna university students and call for the immediate release of detained students.
The statement, which was initially drafted by the Tamil Youth Organisation UK, has grown to include 18 university Tamil societies from across the United Kingdom.
Representatives from University College London, Imperial College London, King’s College London, Queen Mary University of London and the Tamil Youth Organisation UK delivered the statement as the British Parliament prepared to take recess for the Christmas period.
