In the Swiss city of Fribourg, Eelam Tamils have gathered en mass to mark the 33rd Maaveerar Naal and to remember the sacrifices of those who fought for a free Tamil Eelam.

The first Maaveerar Naal was held on 27 November 1989 in remembrance of the  Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadre, Lt Col. Shankar, who died fighting for Tamil Eelam.

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
