UK Tamils hit Indian, Sri Lankan embassies
Protesters angry at Sri Lanka's offensive against Tamil Tiger rebels broke into and vandalized the Indian Embassy in central London
Monday, police said.
A similar move against the Sri Lankan Embassy near London's Hyde Park was thwarted, but the capital's Metropolitan Police said two officers were injured in the clashes. Six protesters were arrested at both locations.
"They pushed through (police) and entered the reception area. Some of the building's windows were damaged, and missiles thrown at the building itself," a police spokeswoman said, describing the protest at India House, home to the Indian High Commission.
"There's a high level of anger in there," she said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with force policy.
Police said later Monday that the 250 or so protesters outside the Sri Lankan Embassy had dispersed, while some 175 people were still gathered outside the Indian Embassy.
Tamils and their supporters across the world have mounted a series of demonstrations demanding an immediate end to fighting between Sri Lankan forces and Tamil Tiger separatists after the government largely cornered the rebels in a small strip of land along the northeast coast. The move puts the Sri Lankan government in position to defeat the Tigers and end the Indian Ocean
island nation's quarter-century civil war, but the U.N. says nearly 6,500 civilians have been killed in the fighting there over the past three months.
In Britain, Sri Lanka's former colonial overlord, protests have included a mass march by at least 100,000 people on April 11, as well as hunger strikes and at least two attempts by protesters to set themselves on fire. A group of Tamil supporters has been camped outside Parliament since April 6.
India, home to a large population of ethnic Tamils, has sent envoys to try to demand a halt to the fighting, but Sri Lanka still rejects talk of cease-fire. EU foreign ministers also have appealed for an immediate cease-fire, and British Foreign Secretary David Miliband and his French and Swedish counterparts were due in the country Wednesday to press the point.
