AUCKLAND, New Zealand—Up to 500 Tamils and supporters rallied and marched in central Auckland February 4 to demand an end to the offensive by Sri Lanka’s military into the areas in the north of the country previously under Tamil control. “Sri Lankan army, stop killing Tamils!” was one of the spirited chants. The action was one of numerous protests in cities around the world, including a march of more than 50,000 in London January 31.
