Student Uprising Day marked by Tamil Eelam FA in Sweden

The death of Pon Sivakumaran, marked as Student Uprising Day, was commemorated in Sweden by the members of the Tamil Eelam Football Association.

The team was attending celebrations of the Swedish National Day, where the Global Tamil Youth League hosted an exhibition, bringing awareness about the ongoing genocide in Sri Lanka.

Players, TEFA officials, and members of the Tamil Youth Organisation Sweden, distributed leaflets with information about Tamil Eelam and the genocide in Sri Lanka to passersby in the center of Ostersund, in Sweden.

The team is currently taking part in the ConIFA world cup, hosted in the city. Tamil Eelam will play Darfur United at 10:00 CET on Saturday.

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
