German Tamils highlight Tamil oppression as Sri Lanka marks 74th Independence Day

In Berlin, German Tamils took the streets to raise awareness of the Tamil genocide and demand justice on the 74th anniversary of Sri Lanka’s independence.

The art exhibition included various pieces of artwork depicting the oppression and violence inflicted on Tamils as a result of the Sinhala colonisation of the Tamil homeland. 

Protests were also held in Jaffna and Mullivaikkal today, marking Sri Lanka's Independence Day as a "Black Day for the Tamil nation."

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
