A mobile tribute to the victims of the May 2009 reached Nallur today, after setting off from Valvettithurai yesterday.
The remembrance vehicle, which is to do a tour of the Northern province, is expected to reach Mullivaikkal on May 18.
"In memory of those who were born alongside us and were subjected to genocide," read one of the messages on the vehicle.
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
