Undergrads and members of the academia of the South Eastern University of Sri Lanka (SEUSL) Monday held a one-hour demonstration in the university premises in Oluvil in the Amparai district condemning the military onslaught by the State of Israel on Lebanon and Palestine, sources said.
Protestors burnt effigies of USA President and Israel Prime Minister. They shouted slogans and held placards condemning the USA and Israel for inhuman attack on citizens of Lebanon and Palestine. Demonstrators in a statement asked the Arab world why it keeps silent when Lebanon and Palestine are attacked by Israel with the support of the USA. The protesters said that US has no right to speak about human rights to others, sources said.
