SRI LANKAN TEA WORKERS LAUNCH ONE-DAY PROTEST Thousands of tea workers of Indian origin went on strike today to press demands for citizenship and voting rights in Sri Lanka, a union statement said. The Ceylon Workers Congress (CWC) said its 400,000 members launched a prayer campaign at temples and other places in a non-violent protest to get the authorities to expedite citizenship procedures. A CWC spokesman said a three-day campaign was suspended after a Cabinet committee promised to speed up procedures under a new set of regulations. Trade sources said the strike did not affect production or today's Colombo auction.
