German Tamils raise awareness of genocide

At a multicultural event in the western town of Siegen, German Tamils raised awareness of the genocide by handing out leaflets and documents with information about the sufferings of Tamils in the North-East of Sri Lanka.

The information was well received by Germans in the town, several of them raising concerns about the safety of Mannar Bishop Joseph Rayappu.

One visitor remarked that the genocide of Tamils was ‘one of the worst humanitarian crises ever’.

Other visitors congratulated German Tamils on their effort and requested Tamils to continue working till justice is gained.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
