Jaffna students demand justice for police deaths
24 Oct 2016
Students are protesting outside the governor's secretariat, demanding
justice for the deaths of two Tamil students from the University of
Jaffna who died after an encounter with the police.
Protestors held up signs in Tamil, English and Sinhala, outlining their
demand for justice and prosecution of the killers. Sinhala students also
took part in the protest. Buses ferried students from the Kilinochchi
campus of the university to the protest. The protestors first blocked
the entrance to the secretariat, before staging a sit in on the A9.
Organisers told the Tamil Guardian that precautions were taken to ensure
the protest remained peaceful. The university's teacher's association
and students from multiple faculties participated in the protest.

A petition was also submitted by the Jaffna University Students Union
calling for the perpetrators of the killing to be brought to justice.

Student unions announced that they will be on strike from Jaffna
University, with all faculties shut, until they have received a response
to their petition.
