LTTE fans play foul against Lankan cricketers in Canada

Sri Lanka’s cricket team was given a hard time by a group of people, suspected to be Tamils living in Canada, who showed their disapproval of the cricketers being present for the Canada Cup 20-20 cricket tournament. The incident occurred after the final which Sri Lanka won. The protest took place at road near King City grounds in Toronto.
The protestors tried to stop the bus in which the Sri Lankan cricketers were heading back to their hotel. But the attempt to stop the bus was halted thanks to the Canadian Policemen who were on duty.
The angry crowd waved LTTE flags and later threw stones and eggs at the bus in which the Sri Lankan cricket team was traveling. None of the players were injured.
A policeman on duty said that the law enforcement officers couldn’t prevent the group from staging the protest because the Canadian Law didn’t prevent such acts (protest).
Sri Lankan High Commissioner to the Canada Daya Perera and Council General of Toronto Bandula Jayasekara condemned the behaviour of the crowd.(News-Bottomline)
