Sri Lankan Tamil issue: protesters held
Chennai (IANS): At least 38 people were arrested on Friday for protesting the killing of Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka, police said. The protesters were on a road leading to Sri Lanka's deputy high commissioner's office. Most of the arrested were students, according to police.
Staff at the deputy high commissioner's office did not see or hear the protests, but saw it on television, diplomatic sources said. The sources added they have full confidence in the law and order machinery of Tamil Nadu.
Security had been tightened outside the mission in south Chennai on Thursday after a man set himself on fire outside a building housing government offices to protest the killing of Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka, triggering a mob attack on a Bank of Ceylon branch.
A sub-inspector and three constables have been placed under suspension for the attack on the bank.
