Australian Tamils mark February 04 as Black Day [TamilNet, Wednesday, 04 February 2009, 16:31 GMT]
Upto 5000 Tamils rallied during peak hour traffic through Sydney City, Australia on Wednesday 4 February to urge the Australian government to support international calls for a ceasefire in Sri Lanka as well as highlight the need for an independent Tamil homeland in response to continued acts of genocide by the Sri Lankan army upon Tamil civilians. "For 61 years the Tamils have lived without peace, justice or freedom," says Lakshmi Kathir, a high school student. "Today maybe Sri Lanka's Independence Day, but for the Tamils it is the day we lost our liberty," she added.

I have sympathy for them but this war will be over within a week, not by a cease fire but with a Sri Lanka victory.

Mr WilliamBaptist,

Please have a look at this link from Reuters. This shows that these LTTE Terrorist activities in Sri Lanka against their own people “Tamils”. What is happing in Sri Lanka is genocide against Tamil people by the LTTE.

By supporting the LTTE you support Genocide against innocent Tamils.

If you want Civilian Tamils to be safe please ask LTTE to release them.
