Here is why -
The 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26, started on the 31st of October 2021 in Glasgow, Scotland. Ahead of the Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's arrival, Tamil activists across Scotland, the United Kingdom generally, and other European States, such as France and Belgium, have been protesting online and in the streets against him. The protesters are calling for international accountability of Sri Lanka’s current President for numerous alleged war crimes and genocide committed against the Tamil minority when he was holding the office of Secretary to the Ministry of Defence. Across Scotland, Tamil protesters had put up light projections onto buildings, including the Scottish Parliament Building, calling for international accountability of President Rajapaksa’s alleged participation in the Tamil genocide.
