Mullivaikkal remembrance will be held says Shivajilingham

The Northern Provincial councillor M K Shivajilingham stressed that Mullivaikkal remembrance events beginning on May 12th would go ahead as planned despite attempts to block them.

Tamils slaughtered at the final stages of the armed conflict in May 2009 would be remembered across the week, with the main event on May 18 in Mullivaikkal.

Attempts by Tamils in the North-East to commemorate the dead around that time have over previous years faced military backlash.
