Preparations under way at Mullivaikkal for remembrance ceremony

Organisers have begun preparing for a remembrance ceremony at Mullivaikkal to be held later this week, as Tamils around the world prepare to mark May 18.

Earlier this month, students from the University of Jaffna travelled to Mullivaikkal to volunteer with clearing the memorial ground ahead of marking the genocide. Red and yellow bunting has nonw been placed around the area.

Remembrance events are set to take place across the North-East and diaspora countries in memory of the tens of thousands who were killed.

 

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
