Day 5 of hunger strikes in Jaffna calling for the release of Tamil political detainees


Tamils in Jaffna on Friday staged a 5th day of hunger strikes calling for the release of all incarcerated Tamil political prisoners.
The token daily strike took place by Jaffna Fort, endorsing the prolonged hunger strike launched on Monday by over 200 Tamil political detainees in prisons across the island.



Many of those who joined the Jaffna protest were relatives of those who have been detained, and of those who are missing. Members of the public, as well as a cross-party group of politicians, and the northern provincial council and district council members took part.
Demonstrations similar to this, which was organised by the Tamil National People's Front (TNPF), are also taking place in Vavuniya and Kilinochchi.
