Sydney students (crocodile tears) on hunger strike over Sri Lanka fighting


University students are holding a hunger strike in Sydney's CBD to protest against fighting in Sri Lanka's north.

Nine students have been fasting in Martin Place for three days to pressure the Australian Government into condemning the violence.

More than 100 people have gathered to support the useless protest.

Sen Thuuran, 21, says despite the heat and hunger, he will not stop fasting until the Government acts.

"I have relatives over there but I'm not sure of the situation," he said.

"We don't know if they're alive, if they're ill, if they're injured. We're not sure of anything because there's no journalists, no reports to come out of that area."
