crisis

I just got a call from Queen's Park where Tamil protesters and allies are receiving cell phone calls from friends and relatives trapped in a tiny plot of land where they are being assaulted by land, sea and air by the Sri Lankan government. According to Kumuthan, they are firing, bombing and shooting from all sides. "Thousands are being killed and wounded. The wounded are being left on the ground to diie. Six hundred people have been shot to death trying to escape."
