Tamil student hunger striker Prarameswaren outside Parliament Square may have only a week to live, the doctor looking after him warned yesterday.
Prarameswaren Subramaniam, 28, has refused food for 20 days in protest at the Sri Lankan government's continuing military assault on Tamil separatists. Speaking from the makeshift camp opposite Westminster, Dr Sellappah Nallanathar, of St Peter's Hospital, Surrey, said that his vital organs would begin to fail if he maintained his fast for another week.
"It's going to be difficult," he added. "I'm asking him to take small sips of water and it's the water that is keeping him going. Even with the water this morning, we had to try a few times before he would take it. If he doesn't want to [take food] we can't force him. He's determined to carry on."

I like to say a word to the British government,you colonised our Tamil kingdom,unified it with sinhalese kingdom for your own convenience,see now! Since you left the then Ceylon how many brutal killings of innocent Tamils taken place,how much blood of innocent Tamils had flown and still it is being continued in the name of war against terrorism,you too banned our liberation fighters, eventhough our leader openly told that the freedom fighters had taken arms not against any countries or any people.They were taken only to safe our people (Tamils) against systamatic genocide by successive brutal sinhalese governments,None of you(BRITTAIN and other countries which banned our freedom fighters) do understand the plight of Tamils in the hands of successive terrorist sinhalese rulers.You all silently watched the terrorist activities of sinhalese governments,gave financial support.At last you realised they are committing an ethnic cleansing activity,several thousands are dieing in cold blood and flesh.The mass muderer Rajapaksha does not listen to any leader's request or call.What are you going to do?Your citizen, a valuable life for us (Tamils) is dieing little by little torturing himself for the last 15 days demanding the promises from you to safe his destroying Tamil community from terrorist sinhalese government.You (Brittain) has the duty and responsibility to safe the deteriorating Tamils,as it was caused by your ancestors when they left Ceylon.Is it not hurting to your (Brittain)conscience?

Please stop your hunger strike. It's enough that we lost many good souls like you. I believe that God will soon answer all our cries. Don't give up on the hope of getting our Tamil Eelam. Good souls like you should live long to see and lead our Tamil Eelam come up to be well developed place. United struggle of Tamils all around the world will give us our nation.
I pray that God will bless the world with peace and unity.
Take care Thambi. God bless you with long life.
Do Reconsider
What you are doing is truly awe-inspiring, and shows the will of you and your people to fight to the end for this cause. But the world needs more determined people like you, and you could do a LOT more for your land alive, then sacrificing your life this way. Your actions have made a lot of people wordwide think and act on this issue, and with your continued existence, it is my belief that you could inspire more action. So please, as a fellow human, I ask you to reconsider you decision, and turn your determination in another direction, because it is much needed...
-Concerned human

God Bless.
What a pitty
Why God is not on our side.
Is God testing our faith ?
How long to wait
U R Heard
Double standard International Community
So wake up Tamils and start giving more money and support to LTTE, thats the only way we can save our selves. India, UN, US or Europe never will save us, instead they waste time, while our people are being killed in thousands.
