Tamil Australians to hold a Multi-faith Candlelight Vigil in Hyde Park North on Monday, 4 May 2009 at 6.30pm to pray for the civilians undergoing untold suffering in Sri Lanka and to show solidarity with the Tamil Australian families who have loved ones killed, missing or detained in the conflict zone on Northern Sri Lanka.

As Tamil Australians get daily news of civilian deaths and unprecedented suffering, the event on Monday is a coming together of a grieving community, sharing prayers and to raise awareness among the wider community of the genocide unfolding in Sri Lanka.

Religious leaders from different faiths will pray for the 7000 civilians killed, 14000 injured within the last 90 days and the thousands of civilians who are unaccounted for or are in out of bounds military run concentration camps and “screening centres”.
