Tamils across Italy marked the 17th anniversary of the genocide at Mullivaikkal.
Palermo
Candles were lit to remember the tens and thousands of Tamils that were trapped and killed in the 'No Fire Zones'. Representatives from Palermo Municipal Council joined the commemorations.
In 2021, Palermo City council signed a Memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Italian- Tamil community recognising the "Genocide of Eelam Tamils perpetrated 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
