The families of Eelam's heroes remember their loved ones, in Scarborough, Canada |
In the week leading up to Tamil Remembrance Day (Maaveerar Naal), held on the 27th November, the families of Eelam's heroes were honoured in events held across the world.
In New Zealand, the Tamil Youth Organisation (TYO-NZ) led the event, held on Sunday 20th November in Auckland.
Commencing with a silent tribute to all those who lost their lives in the struggle for the freedom on the Eelam Tamil homeland, each maaveerar family was presented with a copy of the book, 'The Unspeakable Truth’, which highlights the genocide that led to the struggle for freedom.
