Geneva (ANTARA News/AFP) - Tamils from across Europe demonstrated at the UN`s European headquarters on Monday, calling for a probe into alleged war crimes committed by Sri Lanka at the end of the country`s 2009 civil war.

According to local police, around 1,000 protesters gathered in Geneva`s iconic Place des Nations, to urge the Human Rights Council to investigate the killing of tens of thousands of civilians by Sri Lankan forces in the final push of the country`s brutal war against separatist Tamils. (*)
