Protesters block Norwegian PM's Office

Dozens of Sri Lankan Tamils blocked the entrance to the Norwegian prime minister's office in Oslo Tuesday, calling on the Scandinavian country to act in its role as mediator in the conflict.
Demonstrators handed a written appeal to a Norwegian government representative demanding an immediate ceasefire in Sri Lanka, said a protester who read the letter on Norwegian television.
The document also called for an end to bombings, authorization for humanitarian organizations to work on the ground and the dispatch of international observers in the conflict zone.
Due to the Easter holidays, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg wasn't in his office Tuesday, a spokesman said.
