Police in Sri Lanka have forced hundreds of the minority Tamil community out of the capital Colombo for what they say are security reasons. They launched overnight raids in Tamil areas of the city and forced guests staying in budget hotels onto buses.

A group of eight Tamil men are taking their fight for social equality to the streets walking to Ottawa from Toronto to "stop errorism."  Errorism, as described by walk organizer Mayuran Rhaashivam, is when "a majority community uses stigmatized terms to bully a minority community for its own self interests." The walk began on May 22 from Nathan Phillips Square and is due to be completed June 11 on Parliament Hill. "We want to raise awareness about the Sri Lankan conflict with Tamil Eelam," says Mr. Rhassshivam. "As people of Tamil descent living in Canada... we feel that there is a need to get our identity out."
