Mullaitivu Tamils remember Oddusuddan massacre

Last Sunday, Tamils in Mullaitivu gathered to remember the 12 civilians slaughtered in an Sri Lankan government air strike.

Kannan, who lost his father and brother during the attack, lit flames of remembrance at the event and those who participated in the event paid their tributes to the victims. The government air strikes took place on 27 November 1990.

The memorial was held in front of the Oddusuddan Shiva Temple.




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
