Hundreds of Tamils gathered in Melbourne and Sydney to mark Maaveerar Naal last week, a day of remembrance for the lives lost in the Tamil struggle.
Held at the Springvale Town hall in Melbourne, lamps were lit and flowers laid at the portraits of Tamil cadres, as dances, poems and songs were performed in remembrance.
Meanwhile, hundreds also gathered in Syndey to pay their respects to those who sacrificed their lives.

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
