Home26May 2018
Tamils in Jaffna held a demonstration on Friday in solidarity with protesters in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu who were shot by police officers. 
Nine people were killed and 65 injured on Tuesday in Tamil Nadu after police opened fire at protesters in Tuticorin, who had been seeking a ban on Sterlite Industries' copper plant. 
The protesters, who launched their protest many months ago, accuse Sterlite Industries of releasing pollutants from its plants and have been demanding the plant be closed.
