The Tamil National People’s Front launched a float that drove across the Jaffna district today, as part of a campaign to commemorate the Tamil genocide across the North-East in the days leading up to May 18th.
The float, which bore slogans calling for international justice and for the recognition of self-determination for the Tamil people, visited various parts of Jaffna today. Lawmakers Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam and Selvarajah Kajendran took part in the commemorations.
It will visit districts across the North-East, before finally reaching Mullivaikkal on May 18th.
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
