On Friday, 29 October 2021, protestors gathered in front of the British Embassy in Belgium, condemning Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's visit to Glasglow, Scotland.
Demonstrators handed over a petition demanding accused war criminal Gotabaya Rajapaksa be brought before the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Belgium's Tamil Coordinating Committee organized the protest. Demonstrators could be seen holding signs labelled "Gotabaya is a genocider and war criminal and an environment destroyer."
