    Sunday Leader Photo Essay: 25 Years Later The Lion Roars

    April 16, 2009 /

    Hi, There is a really well written, well shot photo essay by R. Wijewardene in this week’s Sunday Leader. Apparently the Sinhala diaspora in Melbourne, Victoria banded together and got a huge crowd outside the State Parliament to encourage the Australian government to crack down on the LTTE.
