Mauritians march to demand end to genocide


Hundreds of Mauritian Tamils marched through Port-Louis on Friday, demanding an end to the genocide of Tamils by the Sri Lankan government and called upon the Mauritius not to attend the upcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Colombo.

Marking the 4th anniversary since the massacre at Mullivaikkal, the marchers carried banners which read "Say NO to Colombo" and waved red and yellow flags, alongside the Tamil Eelam national flag.



The march was supported by several Mauritian organisations, including the Mauritius Tamil Temple Federation, Tamil League, Union Tamoule, Tamil Cultural Centre, Tamil Speaking Union, Journal Jaune, Pathirikai and HJMS.
