The demonstration is will take place outside Amnesty International Secretariat at Easton Street, London. According to foreign media sources this demonstration is organized in association with many Sri Lankan organizations based in London.
Highly disputed issue of the Amnesty International- led campaign 'Play by The Rules' written on dummy cricket balls targeting the Sri Lankan cricket team, participating in the World Cup in the Caribbean boosted many local and international bodies to condemn the AI's ridiculous campaign.
Meanwhile according to a foreign ministry statement, Sri Lankan delegation have met with Amnesty International representatives on the sidelines of the fourth session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva to point out the possible repercussions of any human rights campaign on Sri Lanka during the Cricket World Cup tournament in the West Indies.
