Video: “Overwhelming sea of humanity,” Tamil Canadians form human chain in Toronto
Toronto City News reporter Francis D’Souza believes “an overwhelming sea of humanity more than achieved their aims”.
In what is described as largest such protest in Toronto, hundreds of thousands of Tamils formed a human chain through a large swath of downtown Toronto on Friday, Jan 30th to protest the Government of Sri Lanka over military onslaught on Tamil dominated areas.

The protesters gathered along several kilometres of slushy sidewalks in the downtown core, chanting slogans such as “We want peace” and “Help us, Canada.”
A report by Toronto’s City News said, “it was an amazing sight, all the more so because it stayed so peaceful. There are probably thousands, tens of thousands of Tamils here all trying to bring some attention to their cause”
