Tamil Protest
Tamil protesters have been demonstrating for several weeks on the green outside Parliament in London against the continuing violence in Sri Lanka. On several occasions they have blocked nearby streets. At 10.30 on the 11th May about 500 demonstrators occupied nearby streets, soon after midday the demonstrators numbered about 1500. The Police were still trying to clear all the streets late in the evening.
Parliament's Gates were closed for much of the day to prevent protesters getting access.
