Monday 11 May 2009: Following the previous weekend of constant bombing by the Sri Lankan military of the Mullaivaikal "safe zone", the London Tamil protestors took to blocking the streets around Parlaiment for a fourth time, in a last attempt to highlight the plight of the Tamil people and be heard by the UK and world media.

But this time, at 2pm, TSG and City police massed on Westminster Bridge and the order was given to clear the road. What resulted, as this video shows, is a crushing panic that led to scores of arrests and injuries.

This film also documents some of the assaults and threats of arrest members of the press faced while trying to document the situation.
