[September 20, 2001 - 11:15 GMT]

Thousands of Sri Lankans joined hands in a human chain in support of the “SriLankaFirst-It’s now or Never” peace campaign.

“The initiative was extremely successful. Over one million Sri Lankans expressed their solidarity for peace,” a spokesman for the organisers said.

He said that initial reports from Jaffna indicate that over 2,000 people had turned out there to show solidarity for peace. The campaign organisers are awaiting confirmation from around the country.
