A vigil is being held in London for the jailed Sri Lankan Tamil journalist, J.S. Tissainayagam. Tissainayagam was sentenced
on Monday to twenty years in prison after being convicted on terrorism charges.
The vigil, organised by the human rights campaign group, Amnesty International, is being held outside parliament. Attendees
are putting black tape across their mouths in protest against what they say is a violation of freedom of expression.
The sentence has been condemned by international and Sri Lankan media rights groups.
