Protests against the Sri Lankan Civil War
Since 2009, protests against the Sri Lankan Civil War have taken place in several countries across the world, urging national and world leaders and organisations to take action on bringing a unanimous cease fire to the Sri Lankan Civil War, which had taken place for over twenty-five years. The protests took several forms, including human chains, demonstrations, rallies, hunger strikes and self-immolation by a few individuals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=In front of U.N office in Geneva aTamil youth has self-immolated himself today – CNN iReport )〕
Tamil diaspora communities across the world expressed concerns regarding the conduct of the civil war in the island nation of Sri Lanka. The civil war, which took place between the Sri Lankan Army and the separatist group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam is believed to have claimed the lives of over 100,000 civilians.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sri Lanka report : World 'may never know' how many died in civil war – Nachrichten English-News – DIE WELT )〕 Protesters and critics of the Sri Lankan government alleged the civil war to be a systematic genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Sri Lankan Tamil minority in Sri Lanka.
The first protests occurred in several cities in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu in 2008 where organisations, politicians, celebrities and student associations raised their requests for the Government of India to intervene and stop the civil war in Sri Lanka. Following the Tamil Nadu protests, protests began to take place in other cities across the globe. The goal of the protests was to persuade organisations and political leaders to intervene in the Sri Lankan Civil War and establish a ceasefire, appeal to humanitarian aid organisations to provide resources to the affected areas of Sri Lanka, and help remove the LTTE from any list of terrorist organisations. After the civil war was ended on 18 May 2009, protests continued in a few countries, urging governments to undertake a war-crimes inspection in Sri Lanka.
Notable protests have happened in Chennai, London, Toronto, Auckland, Ottawa,〔()〕 Paris, Oslo, Sydney, Melbourne, Washington D.C., Bangalore, New York City,〔()〕 Berlin, Geneva, Zürich, The Hague, Canberra,〔()〕 Wellington, Copenhagen and Kuala Lumpur.〔()〕 The Report of the Secretary-General's Panel of Experts on Accountability in Sri Lanka was compiled and released by the United Nations on war crimes committed on the island.
