Cardiff Tamil Society kicked off this year's Breaking the Silence campaign by holding a week long exhibition, raising awareness of the ongoing genocide committed against Tamils in Sri Lanka.

The exhibition, held at the IV Lounge, Neuadd Merionydd building in the Heath Park campus and at the Cardiff University Law School, drew the attention of dozens of students throughout the week, with many stopping to add their thoughts to a “thought board”.
The university newsletter wrote a piece on the exhibition, saying,
“When students at the exhibition were given the opportunity to voice their opinion on the matter, words such as “speechless”, “barbaric” and “brutal” dominated.

“Genocide is just the tip of the iceberg. Sexual violence, torture and denial of basic human rights occurred alongside the systematic killing – and it’s time for something to be done.”
The campaign can be followed on twitter using ‘#BreakTheSilence’. Keep an eye out on Tamil Guardian for the next entry into the Breaking The Silence Journal.
