Though the crowds have grew larger in numbers, however, the protest has been peaceful thus far. Gordon Brown, UK prime minister, expressed concerns over such conflicts happening in the country, and had since requested for an urgent meeting with the UN council. The prime minister shall be discussing the issue with the council for an immediate ceasefire between the two conflicting parties in Sri Lanka.
On the other hand, the Sri Lankan government is against the idea of ceasefire as it might give the Tamil Tigers the chance of regrouping. With as many as 100,000 civilians trapped in the conflicting zone, more are bound to fall victims to clashes if the issue is not resolved.
