Australian Tamils call for Govt intervention

Posted 3 hours 9 minutes ago

Police have closed off part of George Street in central Sydney for a protest march by members of Australia's Tamil community.

The protesters are calling for Federal Government intervention to help stop violence between Government forces and Tamil Tiger rebels in Sri Lanka.

Several hundred demonstrators staged a sit in outside the Prime Minister's Sydney residence earlier this month.

George Street has been closed off between Circular Quay and Bathurst Streets in the city with the protesters marching to Hyde Park for a rally there.
