Protesters reflect on another protester’s sun glass.
A protest was organised by Free Media Movement (FMM), Sri Lanka Tamil Media Alliance (SLTMA), Sri Lanka Muslim Media Forum (SLMMF), Sri Lanka Working Journalists Association (SLWJA), Federation of Media Employees Trade Union (SLMETU),Media Movement for Democracy (MMD) and South Asia Free Media Association (SAFMA).Nearly 47 journalists from Colombo traveled to Jaffna by A9 highway to show solidarity. They condemned the brutal assault by protesting in front of the Sri Lanka Transport Board bus stand in Jaffna on 16th of August 2011. It was a rare protest for the Peninsula people to witness. “ஏதாவது பிரச்சினையோ?” ~ “Is there any problem?”, “என்ன பிரச்சினை?” ~ “What is the problem?”, “இங்கை என்ன நடக்குது?” ~ “What is happening here?” a few onlookers, passers ~ by and shop keepers asked me while the protest was getting underway on a balmy day in Jaffna. “இங்கை உண்மையா என்ன நடக்குது? ~ “What is actually happening here” asked the owner of a newly built restaurant, while I was running to the restaurant roof top to capture the moments on my camera.
There was chaos as the protesters arrived in Jaffna town with placards in Tamil. Police in the vicinity came closer and asked them not to block the traffic. Verbal argument took place between the Police and the protesters. But the protesters kept chanting and walking. The traffic came to a standstill for a couple of moments, as the protesters took the space on the mot busiest road in Jaffna, the Hospital road while carrying the placards in Tamil ~ “யாழ்ப்பாண ஊடகவியலாளர்களுக்கு யார் பாதுகாப்பு?” ~ “Who is responsible for the lives of the journalists in Jaffna?”, “ஊடக சுதந்திரம் பாதுகாக்கப்பட வேண்டும்” ~ “Media freedom needs to be protected”, “எப்போ முடியும் யாழ்ப்பாணத்தில் அடக்குமுறைகள்?” ~ “When will the suppression come to an end in Jaffna?”, “ஊடக சுதந்திரத்தைப் பாதுகாக்க ஒன்றுபடுவோம்” ~ Let’s unite to protect media freedom”, “குகநாதனுக்கு விழுந்த அடி உண்மைக்கு விழுந்த பேரிடி”~ Assault on Kuganathan is an assault on the Truth, “ஊடகத்துறைக்கு எதிரான அடக்குமுறையை ஒழிப்போம்” ~ Eradicate Suppression Against the Media” “ஊடகத்தின் மீதான தாக்குதலை உடனே நிறுத்து” ~ “Stop Attacking the Media Immediately”, “ஜனநாயகத்தின் குரலை ஒடுக்காதே” ~ “Don’t Suppress the voice of Democracy”, “தேர்தலில் தோற்றவர்களா மண்டையைப் பிளந்தார்கள்?” ~ “Did they split the head those who lost the elections?”
The protesters chanted “Let Us Write”,“Continue; Continue; Continue to Write”,“Do Not Kill; Do Not Kill; Do Not Kill Us; Do Not Kill the Journalists, Do Not Kill the Democracy”,“Uthyan was attacked, but nobody was arrested”, “Bring the culprit to the courts”“Do Not Attack; Do Not Attack; Do Not Attack the Media”, “Take Your Hands Off Media”“Stop; Stop; Stop the Suppression” “Kuganathan; Kuganthan who wrote the plight of the people”, “Kuganathan was attacked with Iron rods”,“Kuganathan; Kuganathan; Keep Writing, “Lift the Emergency Immediately” in Tamil and Sinhala.

Perhaps, but I would likely not chance trying to document some of the other rallies and protests that have happened this year.

Feb 2008: I will quit Flickr if the MS purchase of Yahoo goes through. I will miss the wonderful people and talented photographers I've virtually met on Flickr though.

May 4, 2008: MS dropped their offer for Y! last night. Should I shout "Hurray!" or "Yahoo!"? :-) Now, who's complaining that CEO Yang is not going a good job running Y!? IMHO, this was an very smoothly fought battle to avert a takeover and the members of the Y! leadership, especially Yang, deserve great credit.
Nov 6, 2008: "To this day, I believe the best thing for Microsoft to do is to buy Yahoo," the Associated Press quoted Yang as saying on Nov 5th.

A protest, organised by the recently formed group Stroud District Together with Refugees, took place outside the Subscription Rooms on Monday evening.
Around 70 people gathered on the Sub Rooms forecourt, with plaques and banners, and staged a 30-minute silent vigil opposing Government plans to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda. A similar protest was held in June.
Leader of Stroud District Council, Cllr Catherine Braun (Green, Wotton-under-Edge) later addressed the protestors, saying: “I think the policy is horrendous and there are no legal and safe ways for people to claim asylum in the UK and if legal and safe routes existed, desperate people who are fleeing violence, conflict and persecution would take them and they would not risk their lives embarking on dangerous journeys like crossing the channel, so the most important thing is that the government sets up safe and legal ways for people who are in need of refuge to come to the United Kingdom.”
Caroline Beatty, one of the organisers, said: “We are holding this vigil today because it’s the first day of the High Court hearing to decide the legality of the government policy to transport people to Rwanda. It’s going to take five days as far as we know and then there’ll be a second hearing in October. We’re horrified that they appear to be going ahead without even knowing if it’s legal or not.
“There will be people all over the country who are showing their deep concern about this. I think it needs to be exposed for what it is, and I was looking at the definitions of smuggling and trafficking – people smuggling is the action or practise of illegally transporting people from one country to another and that is what the government policy may well turn out to be, a form of people smuggling – nationally and internationally sanctioned.
“I think the government is playing a very strange game and it’s horrible, but they’re kind of legitimising the very behaviour that they claim to be trying to stop.”
Cllr Braun added: “It’s just so great to see the number of people who’ve turned out on a Monday evening to be part of a National Day of Action here in Stroud. This is a new group, Stroud District Together with Refugees, which has been set up just in response to this new policy around deportation of asylum seekers to Rwanda.
“People feel very strongly about it. I think the Conservative Party have really timed this wrong. They haven’t captured the mood of the country. People want to welcome refugees to our country and to provide them with safe and legal routes to apply – we see how people have opened their homes to Ukrainian refugees during the war.
“I think most people in this country would like to see ways for people to safely claim refuge in the United Kingdom.”

There were armed police here. I don't think they were needed. (Notice the sleepy dog?)
