British Tamils Forum calls upon the Metropolitan Police and the UK Government to investigate how Sri Lankan fans were able physically attack peaceful protesters in the midst of a heavy police presence and to take steps to ensure the safety of protesters at future matches.
This abuse has been well-documented in the Tamil media and by Tamil campaigners on Twitter and Facebook
Issuing a statement British Tamils Forum says; the British Tamils Forum is a strong advocate for an international boycott of Sri Lankan cricket until the Tamil people are granted their rights in full, a credible and sustainable solution is found to their legitimate security concerns, and an independent international investigation is carried out into the war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide that have been perpetrated in Sri Lanka before, during and since the Mullivaikkal Massacre of 2009.
We publish below the statement in full;
British Tamils Forum condemns in the strongest terms the violence meted out against peaceful Tamil protesters by Sri Lankan cricket fans outside the Oval cricket ground on the evening of Monday 17 June 2013. Furthermore, British Tamils Forum calls upon the Metropolitan Police and the UK Government to investigate how Sri Lankan fans were able physically attack peaceful protesters in the midst of a heavy police presence and to take steps to ensure the safety of protesters at future matches.
A dedicated band of activists from a number of organisations, including British Tamils Forum, have peacefully demonstrated outside every match played by the Sri Lankan cricket team as part of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, currently being held in the UK. Displaying banners and placards informing the public of the plight of the Tamil people in Sri Lanka, they have been demonstrating for two reasons:
1. To put pressure on the international cricket establishment to boycott the Sri Lankan team;
2. To engage with the general public and cricket fans, informing them about the current situation in Sri Lanka and explaining the call for a boycott.
The demonstrators have been generally well-received by the British public, many of whom have shown an interest in the history of Sri Lanka and the reasons behind the call for a boycott. However, ever since the first match in Cardiff, campaigners have faced persistent abuse and intimidation from Sri Lankan fans, despite the presence of police and camera-phones recording their actions. This abuse has been well-documented in the Tamil media and by Tamil campaigners on Twitter and Facebook.
Given the brazen and largely unchecked behaviour of Sri Lankan cricket fans at previous matches – hurling racial abuse, making threats of violence, taking photos of demonstrators and threatening to send these to the Sri Lankan authorities – it came as little surprise when these fans sank to new depths on Monday night, physically assaulting campaigners – who included terrified children and the elderly – right in front of the police and recording camera-phones.
Nevertheless, the British Tamils Forum is disappointed at the inability of the police, who were present in large numbers, to ensure the safety of peaceful protesters in Central London. British Tamils Forum is further dismayed at the police’s reluctance to pursue charges against the assailants, despite the preponderance of witnesses to the assaults and ample photographic evidence.
Many British Tamils came to the United Kingdom to escape precisely this sort of racist mob violence, which has been visited on Tamils many times since Sri Lankan independence. They are understandably upset and afraid that they are still at risk of attack by Sinhalese mobs in the UK – their country of refuge.
If they are to assuage these genuine fears – and to preserve the UK’s reputation as a country where every citizen can peacefully demonstrate in safety – the Metropolitan Police and UK government must:
1. Prosecute all those who took part in and orchestrated these assaults against peaceful demonstrators;
2. Investigate why the police failed to adequately protect demonstrators from violence on Monday;
3. Ensure the safety of demonstrators at future cricket matches.
Such firm actions would also send a clear signal to Sri Lankan cricket fans that this sort of racist thuggery – though sadly a commonplace feature of life in Sri Lanka – has no place in the United Kingdom.
Additional information: the case for a boycott
The boycotting of the sports and cultural institutions of an oppressive state has a venerable history; cricket in particular has provided shining examples of the effectiveness of this form of struggle. Archbishop Desmond Tutu explained the purpose of such boycotts succinctly in his 2008 MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture, where he said,
“Many of you will remember how effective the sports boycott of the 1970s and 1980s was in conveying to sport-crazy South Africans that our society had placed itself beyond the pale…”
In the case of Sri Lanka, a cricket boycott is made particularly apt by the strong ties that bind the Sri Lankan State – which stands accused of war crimes and genocide against the Tamil people – and Sri Lankan national cricket. These ties run both ways: with the government having a say in team selection and with ex-members of the cricket team subsequently taking up government posts. Therefore, in the case of Sri Lanka, the common anti-boycott retort that “sports and politics shouldn’t mix” holds little water.
In addition, the violence of Sri Lankan cricket fans on Monday gives lie to the refrain that a cricket boycott would misguidedly target the (presumably Tamil-loving) Sinhalese people rather than the State. The chants, triumphalism and violence of the Sri Lankan fans demonstrate that they largely stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Sri Lankan State. Under such circumstances, an international cricket boycott would send both Sinhalese Society and the State a clear signal that, in the words of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, it has “placed itself beyond the pale”.
For these reasons, the British Tamils Forum is a strong advocate for an international boycott of Sri Lankan cricket until the Tamil people are granted their rights in full, a credible and sustainable solution is found to their legitimate security concerns, and an independent international investigation is carried out into the war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide that have been perpetrated in Sri Lanka before, during and since the Mullivaikkal Massacre of 2009.

For a country that has got it’s priorities wrong, the Corrupt leaders are making use of Cricket as a cover up to keep the Nation entertained and the Nation who blames the Opposition for not doing anything to change the regime are highly euphoric, engrossed in Cricket. What Hypocrisy? Incidentally the World Political Power Blocks knowing the weaknesses of the Asians, are using the Tonic ‘Cricket’ to sooth the masses here to get their agendas addressed. It is just like the Corrupt govts that resort to increase prices of essentials while Cricket Matches are played. It is about time we got our priorities correct and dropped Cricket.

By calling for a boycott of SL Cricket the protesting tamils have shamelessly mixed politics with sports and not even considered the current SL captain is a tamil. These are extremist and racists of the worst kind and a disgrace to all tamils. By keeping the agenda alive they can continue to enjoy welfare from the state and worldwide sympathy to prolong their refugee status.

I condemn any such attacks on peaceful protests. But it is clearly unfair to call for cricket ban with regard to political issues. Sports should be used to strenthen peace and ties between people, not to divide people. People should not use sports for getting any type of political advantage. I personally have seen how tamils fear on their refugee status in Aus. They use these types of activities to show that SL is still not peaceful for tamils. This should be same in UK as well. This is the bitter truth we are facing these days.

This was by no means a peaceful protest but a deviously planned tactic to bring harm upon themselves to prove their point that tamils are unsafe in SL. These brainwashed tamils have to keep alive the perception that tamils are being harassed in SL to continue their refugee status and enjoy the freebies from the UK Govt.
What is puzzling is why the law allowed them congregate there knowing it could become a volatile situation………more food for the disapora to persuade other nations to boycott the CHOGM?

“This was by no means a peaceful protest but a deviously planned tactic to bring harm upon themselves to prove their point that tamils are unsafe in SL.”
I like your logic.
“to continue their refugee status”
How does it work?
“enjoy the freebies from the UK Govt.”
Is it that easy. How much do they get, a plenty?
“What is puzzling is why the law allowed them congregate there knowing it could become a volatile situation”
It is another good logic.
“more food for the disapora to persuade other nations to boycott the CHOGM?”

R.Sandanayake / June 19, 2013
(Please note that I am repeating this, which I subscribed to an earlier article in CT, as this is also on the same subject.)
I was under the impression that LTTE is a banned organization in the UK. If my impression is correct, then how could the protesters carry LTTE Ealam flags? Then they are clearly LTTE supporters and engaged in an illegal act. So then, it cannot be called a peaceful protest but an illegal protest. The Police should have taken action or the others should have pointed that out to the Police, and not take the law into their own hands. However, whether it is peaceful or not, the others, Sinhalese or SL government supporters, should not have attacked them. Two wrongs don’t make one right. The Sinhalese or SL government supporters should be careful in the future. There is nothing we could achieve by engaging in violence in a civilized society like in London (although such action is acceptable in SL.) British public and other civilized societies would condemn the Sihalese if we engage in such scenario.
It is understandable that the LTTE supporters have to highlight the ethnic issue in SL for them to continue to enjoy refugee status in the UK. Sinhalese or the Govt. supporters should understand that and not further tarnish the country’s image. Why should we play into the hands of the Eelamists.
I have many Tamil friends in the UK and elsewhere, who are not Eelamists and are really anti-LTTE, but they have certain concerns and grievances, which we have to address to. We should not drag this on or go into the denial mode that no such problems exist. Do not paint all Tamils with the same brush as Eelamist. It indeed is very unfair. Please do not equate all Tamils as Eelamists or LTTEers. One should distinguish them not because of their birth but by their action as what the Buddha has preached:
“Na Jatta Vasalo Hothi,
Na Jatta Hothi Brahmano,
Kammana Vasalo Hothi,
Kammana Hothi Brahmano”
(One does not become a low-caste person
or a Brahamin by birth,
One becomes a low-caste person
or a Brahamin by one’s own action.)
(All so called Buddhists, if they believe they follow the teachings of the Buddha, should understand this and emulate.)

Is Tiger flag banned in SL ? Colenel KARUNA is a Gov minister now. JVP terrorists are in the Gov too. .
Whether those young British Tamil boys carry old Tiger flag or not, now they are doing non-violent struggle to win rights to their cultural homeland for who are left behind in SL.
We Sinhalese are previlaged with rights to criticize and hate our own leaders and their henchman like Mervin & Wimal? Don’t you believe Tamils have same rights and FUN to criticized their own leadership? When it comes to Sinhalese corrupt leadership, they simply hate it, they don’t have any FUN like we get with Wimal or Mervin.
Lot of Sinhalese know all our leaders after British left are corrupted, but lot of our Mamas & Nandas love them and we tolerate them. Tamil Nandas and Manas have same rights of loving/hating their own leaders( Tamil Wimals and Mervins) and young and intellectuals have similar rights like us to hate their leadership and criticized them.
Let them have their own politician managing their businesses. And we look after our Wimal and Mervyn Ayyas, BBS monks etc….

The British Tamil Forum, a remainder rump of the LTTE, butchers of innocent people Tamils, Singhala, and Muslims wants the government of the UK to ban Sri Lankan Cricket. Cricket was and is one of the cardinal unifying forces in the country.It is a force for reconciliation. The captain of the Sri Lanka Angelo Mathews is a Tamil and who has forgotten the almost immortal words of Kumar Sangakkara,another member of the team against which this racially motivated demonstration was held, at the Cowdrey lecture in 2011, ‘I am Tamil, I am Singhalese, I am Muslim, I am Buddhist, I am Hindu I am Christian I am a follower of Islam, ….. I am proud to be Sri Lankan. The racism of the BTM is self evident. It is they who needs to be investigated for the heinous crime of hiding behind Women and Children, carrying a banner of an illegal terrorist group.

Peaceful protestors using abusive language and deliberately provoking the Sri Lankan fans should also be prosecuted.. The police should also take this as an example and ban further protests of this group at cricketing venues .. Its clear that the protestors have misled the UK authorities and police by stating their protest to be a peaceful one…
This protest was targeted at SL fans.. Abusive language was used to provoke the SL fans thereby discrediting not only Sri Lanka but the very soil they are standing on..
It’s a shame the Tamil diaspora is using Britain for their sinister campaigns but for how long will the civilized citizens of Britain tolerate this kind of act of provocation on their soil???

If they want a fair trial for what government had done during the period then they should represent what LTTE had done during the whole 30 years of the to the Sri Lanka.

The LTTE is a Sri Lankan problem. British don’t care if one set of south Asians kill another set of south Asians. In fact it I were the British, I would encourage south Asians to kill each other. British don’t care if you wave a LTTE, JVP, Khalistan or Naxalite flags. It doesn’t affect them.
Hammas, Hesbollah or Al-Qaida kill British soldiers. The Queens grandson was fighting in Afganistan. So they care about those flags being waved and protests staged.

“The Truth is LTTE Tamils had pre planned to attack Sinhala spectators and they did that”
Why did you withhold this vital information from Cardiff police?
Were you colluding with, LTTE, LTTE rump, Diaspora, BTF, GTF, TGTE, GTV, TNA, ABC, BCD, CDE, DEF, …………….. XYZ?

Well well well..
A video emerges where you can actually see what the heck is going on:

From about 3:30 you can see how the genocidal Sinhalam mind controlled the innocent We Thamizh into charging and attacking them with poles :-)
The UK government certainly should investigate the use of this strange weapon by the Sinhalam. Can we get a statement from the BTF about how they intend to combat this new threat?
Twisting and lying, oh how naturally it comes to the LTTE diaspora :-)
