Sri Lanka's Jaffna fishermen protests to India

A protest was organized by more than hundred Jaffna fishing families in front of the Indian consulate this morning against Indian fishermen straying into Sri Lankan fishing waters.

The protestors were demanding that the Indian fishermen stop robbing their resources and driving them to starvation.

The protest was a silent protest with participants covering their eye and mouths with black ribbon.

There should be better co-ordination between the two coast guards to prevent straying into eachothers territory. Although arresting these fishermen is certainly not the answer. Strict surveillance is required.

Sri Lankan fishermen hold anti-India protest

Fishermen in northern Sri Lanka on Monday protested outside an Indian diplomatic office, calling for action to prevent the intrusion of fishermen into Sri Lankan territorial waters.

Demonstrators carrying placards and chanting slogans opposite the Indian Consulate General office in Jaffna, 390 km north of the capital, demanded that the fishing rights of Sri Lankan fishermen be protected.

'We are trying to get on with our normal life after the end of a 30-year war and the Indian fishermen are not allowing us to do that,' Velautham Marimuttu, a protesting fisherman, said by telephone.

'Protect our fishing rights', 'India - keep your fishermen away from Sri Lanka', and 'Protect our livelihood' were among the slogans the fishermen chanted.

Local fishermen arrested at least 136 of their Indian counterparts for allegedly violating Sri Lankan territorial waters and handed them over to the local police last week.

They appeared in court and were remanded in custody for two weeks, but political and diplomatic pressure led to their release on Friday.
