In the lead up to Maaveerar Naal, UK Tamil students and the Tamil Youth Organisation UK (TYO UK) have organised a virtual remembrance event to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives in the Tamil struggle for freedom.
The event has been organised alongside 23 Tamil societies.
Watch the live event below:
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
