Jaffna Uni students boycott classes and launch signature campaign in support of Tamil political prisoners
23Oct 2017
Jaffna
University students have been boycotting classes since last Friday in
solidarity with the hunger-striking Tamil political prisoners in
Anuradhapura.
Students
at the University of Jaffna slammed the Sri Lankan government for
failing to offer an acceptable solution following a meeting between the
Sri Lankan President and families of political prisoners last week.
The
detainees are hunger-striking to reverse the transfer of their cases
from the Tamil Vavuniya High Court to the Sinhalese Anuradhapura court.
Continuing
to boycott classes on Tuesday, students from Jaffna University launched
a signature campaign to gather public support in solidarity with the
hunger striking political prisoners.
A
similar campaign was also carried out in the East by students of the
Eastern University, following a joint statement by the student unions of
the two universities.
