LONDON (AFP) — About 3,000 men, women and children staged a peaceful demonstration outside parliament in London against alleged human rights abuses in Sri Lanka, police said.

Carrying banners reading "Stop Sri Lanka's Genocide of Tamils" and "Rwandan Genocide Repeats in Sri Lanka", the protesters waved flags of the Tamil Tiger rebels who face a threatened final assault by government forces.

A police spokesman estimated the turnout at about 3,000 at its height, and about 1,000 people continued protesting into the early hours of Tuesday.

The demonstration, although effectively illegal because it had not received prior approval, was peaceful and no arrests were made, the spokesman said.
