German Tamils held a remembrance event in Berlin last week, to commemorate 16 years since the Sri Lankan air force massacred 53 school girls in the Vanni.
The event consisted of poetry recitals and speeches, as well as a moment of silence to commemorate those killed. Members of the public were also given flyers on the massacre and other atrocities committed by the Sri Lankan state.

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
