Canadian Sri Lankans in Toronto have staged a massive protest against the US Resolution on Sri Lanka.
Hundreds of expatriate Sri Lankans in Canada joined in the protest to show solidarity against the US-sponsored anti-Sri Lankan resolution at the UN Human Rights Council Session in Geneva. Canadian Sri Lankans in Toronto staged the “Hands Off Sri Lanka” protest rally opposite the U.S. Consulate. The rally was organized with the leadership of Sri Lanka United National Association of Canada.
The protesters carrying placards and shouting slogans, called on the United States and the co-sponsor United Kingdom to withdraw the country specific resolution against Sri Lanka, and to refrain from bringing similar unfair resolutions to harass Sri Lanka which is an independent sovereign member country of the United Nations.
Various Sri Lankan Canadian community organizations, 2014 Toronto Mayoral Candidate Dewitt Lee and Canadian Sri Lankans of all ethnic origins braved the cold temperature in unity to make a stand for Sri Lanka during the rush hour in Toronto. Separately, a petition was signed by a large number of Canadian Sri Lankans. It is due to be forwarded to the U.S. Consulate this week.
