On Tuesday, December 4th, 2012 The Tamil Students' Association at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus held a solidarity rally alongside our student union, the Scarborough Campus Students' Union, which represents over 11 000 students at UTSC, and the Toronto Students for Justice in Palestine. Students from UTSC stood in solidarity with the Jaffna University Students, condemning the actions of the Sri Lankan military. UTSC TSA demanded the release of the 4 students held under custody by the Sri Lankan military which includes their student union president as well as the removal of all Sri Lankan military off of the Tamil homeland. An attack on students anywhere is an attack on students everywhere. When education and freedom of speech and expression is attacked students everywhere will stand up and voice against that. UTSC TSA deems it is important now more than ever for the youth to rise up and stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters.
