Thousands remember Maaveerar in Germany

Thousands of Tamils gathered in across Germany last month to remember those that sacrificed their lives for the liberation of the Tamil nation.

A large remembrance event was held in Dortmund, with thousands in attendance to lay flowers before portraits of fallen fighters.

Hundreds also gathered in Munich and a memorial ceremony was held  in the German town of Essen, in North-Rhine Westphalia state, where a memorial was constructed in 2014.
