Thousands of people gathered at Chennai's Marina Beach on Sunday to remember the 7th year anniversary of the genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka as the armed conflict ended.

Lighting candles of remembrance, thousands sat on the beach calling for justice and for the ban on the LTTE to be lifted.

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
