Flowers were scattered at Nandikadal lagoon by Tamil activists including former Northern Provincial Council member Thurairasa Ravikaran to mark Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day.
This year marks 15 years since Sri Lanka's genocidal offensive that massacred tens of thousands of Tamils.
Ravikaran said that Nandikadal is "a silent witness of the sad final scenes of our glorious history and is filled with our tears and blood of our relatives."
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
