Tamil protestors chant slogans in central Brussels during a demonstration to protest against Sri Lanka's military offensives in territories held by Tamil Tigers, March 16, 2009. The United Nations said on Monday Tamil Tiger rebels forcibly recruited another of its local workers in Sri Lanka's war zone along with three dependents of U.N. staff, including a 16-year-old girl. The UN said the forced conscriptions came at the weekend, when nearly 2,000 people fled Sri Lanka's shrinking war zone as troops fought towards the final showdown in a 25-year war with the separatist Tamil Tigers.
