For decades, hundreds of thousands of Tamils have endured life in the cross fire between the LTTE and the Sri Lankan government, and still today, about 300,000 of the nation's 3 million Tamils remain in government camps in Sri Lanka's north. Many expatriate groups are now lobbying their host governments to pressure Sri Lanka into increasing humanitarian aid to Tamils...
