The Northern Provincial Council (NPC) will be observing May 18th as a “tragic day in the history of Tamils” and plans to hold a remembrance event at Mullivaikkal on Wednesday.
A statement released by the NPC said the date was “unforgettable… tossing away all international laws of war”.
In remembrance of those killed, a memorial event will be held at Mullivaikkal beach, the site of the massacres as Sri Lankan troops overran a narrow strip of land where hundreds of thousands of Tamils had gathered in May 2009.
Events have already taken place across the Tamil North-East marking Mullivaikkal remembrance week and remembering the victims of Tamil genocide.
