Dr. Palitha Kohona’s address at University of Toronto “postponed”
A talk by Dr. Palitha Kohona scheduled for March 10, 2010 at the University of Toronto has been postponed. The event was to be hosted by Centre for South Asian Studies. Local sources say the postponement is as a result of heavy opposition from Canadians of all ethnic communities and student movements who protested the event. Sri Lanka’s abysmal rate of human rights violations and evidence of war crimes are primary causes for the protest. Faculty’s website indicates that event has been postponed pending a standard security assessment – http://webapp.mcis.utoronto.ca/EventDetails.aspx?eventid=8769
