Walking 300kms to save 300,000 lives

Issue 

Two young Australian Tamils will walk 300 km from Sydney to Canberra to build awareness of the plight of 300,000 Tamil civilians forcibly held in military controlled internment camps in Sri Lanka.

Seran Sribalan and Vishna Sivaraj both have family members held in the camps. They will start the walk from Martin Place, Sydney at noon on August 10 and take nine days to walk to Parliament House in Canberra.

Seran and Vishna will appeal to the Australian government to apply more diplomatic pressure on the Sri Lankan government to ensure the Tamils held within the camps are released and re-settled back in their own villages.
