The demonstration, which included students, professors, lecturers and non-academic staff across all faculties, was held as over 200 Tamil political detainees in prisons across the island launched a hunger strike on Monday calling for their release.
Expressing solidarity with those detained, Tamils in Jaffna launched a series of token daily hunger strikes on Monday.
