The initiative of clearing Thuyilum Illams in order to hold memorial services on November 27 has been taking place across the North-East.
Last year thousands gathered at destroyed cemeteries in Kilinochchi to commemorate Maaveerar Naal publicly for the first time since the end of the war.
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
