Thileepan and other leaders commemorated at Netherlands sports event

A sports tournament was held in Netherlands last month to commemorate the 35th anniversary since the death of the LTTE’s Lt. Col. Thileepan.


The tournament, held in Breukelen, started with the raising of both the Dutch and Tamil Eelam national flags. Tributes were paid to Thileepan and other senior LTTE commanders, who had lost their lives in the Tamil liberation struggle.


Teams from France, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany and the UK participated in the tournament, and were later awarded medals and prizes.
