Thousands of Sri Lankans representing all major nationalities and religions, organized under ‘Sri Lankans Against Terrorism (SLAT) UK’, took part in a peace march in London, last Saturday, June 27.

The marchers expressed their grattitude to British people for their support in defeating terrorism and urged UK to take concrete steps to prevent terrorism re-emerging in Sri Lanka.

“Although the LTTE is militarily defeated, there is still considerable sympathy towards the LTTE among the Tamil diaspora and some sections of the international community.

Therefore, we felt it is our duty to appeal to the international community to help rebuild the country rather than supporting the LTTE,” said the organizers.
