Over one thousand people gathered in Toronto on Monday to mark 6 years since the massacre of tens of thousands of Tamils in the final phases of the armed conflict.

Marking 'Tamil Genocide Day' in Albert Campbell Square, Canadian Tamils gathered and laid flowers in remembrance of those killed.
Newly elected Leader of the Conservative Party Ontario, Patrick Brown, spoke at the event, telling the audience that justice for those massacred should be an issue for politicians across the political spectrum. “Whether NDP, Liberal or Conservative, it is a Canadian value to stand up for justice,” said Mr Brown.

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
