MONTREAL—Young Tamils and their supporters march with banners and placards along Montreal’s busy Jean Talon Street February 1 to protest repression of Tamils by the Sri Lankan army. “We want people in Canada to know what is happening,” Jeda, a demonstration organizer from the Montreal Tamil Organization, told the Militant. Three days earlier in Toronto, home to 200,000 Tamils, up to 45,000 formed a massive human chain on a number of downtown streets to demand an end to the repression.
