Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 2009 Canadian Tamil protests refers to a series of public human chains, demonstrations and protests, which took place in major Canadian cities, along with other world cities with a significant Tamil diaspora population, during the year 2009, regarding the alleged genocide of Sri Lankan Tamil people in the northern province of the island nation Sri Lanka. Several Tamil organizations and businesses in the Greater Toronto Area, home to nearly 200,000 Tamil immigrants and citizens, had closed businesses and took part in rallies in the downtown area of the city. The aim was to appeal to leaders, notably the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, the President of the United States, Barack Obama and the Consulate General of Sri Lanka in Canada, Bandula Jayasekara, to take action in ending the conflict in Northern Province, Sri Lanka. The first notable protest took place on January 28, 2009 in front of the Sri Lankan Consulate in Torontoinvolving a few hundred people.
