Demonstrators have tried to storm the British embassy in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo over Tamil protests that marred President Mahinda Rajapaksa's UK visit.


A Sri Lankan government minister led the rally outside the high commission, accusing Britain of supporting Tamil Tiger separatists.

Mr Rajapaksa's speech to the Oxford Union had to be cancelled this week because of the Tamil protests.
