Demonstrations today over death of Ian Tomlinson and persecution of Tamils in Sri Lanka

Various groups involved in the G20 protests,including the Stop The War Coalition, are currently making their way to Bethnal Green Police Station to assemble for a march to the Bank of England.

They will lay flowers where Ian Tomlinson died after being shoved by a police officer during the G20 demonstrations.

There is also a protest march at 1pm from Embankment to Hyde Park opposing the attacks on Tamils in Sri Lanka.

According to the organisers, Act Now, tens of thousands attended a recent demonstration on Westminster Bridge.

Director of Act Now Tim Martin said around 100 civilians are dying each day, while two Tamil men, Sivatharsan Sivakumaravel, 21, and Parameswarn Subramaniyan, 28, are on hunger strike as a protest.
