Children from two Tamil preschools were taken around the Jaffna Security Force Headquarters in the occupied high security zone of Palali, yesterday on Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day, which Tamils across the North-East observed as a day of mourning.
While schools in the Northern Province observed remembrance activities such as observing a minute’s silence and flying flags at half mast in memory of the thousands of Tamil civilians massacred by Sri Lankan state forces, the Sri Lankan Army stated in its media release that the preschool tour was a small step towards reconciliation.
