Facebook shut down the Tamil Solidarity campaign page on 9 February.
Tamil Solidarity statement
This followed a peaceful protest organised by Tamil Solidarity and other Tamil community groups against the threatening behaviour of a Sri Lankan army brigadier, and against the ongoing oppression of Tamil-speaking people in Sri Lanka.
In shutting down Tamil Solidarity’s page, Facebook has attacked freedom of speech and the right to protest. It is unacceptable, and we demand that our Facebook page be reinstated immediately.
