Tamils protesting in Jaffna against the killing of Thoothukodi protesters in Tamil Nadu faced police intimidation as officers and security personnel photographed participants. 

The protest, which took place in front of the Consulate General of India in Jaffna on June 1, condemned the Tamil Nadu police's violence against the protesters and the government's inaction to provide justice for those killed. 

Sri Lankan police officers and security personnel from within the Consulate were seen taking photographs of all participants.
