Maaveerar Naal 2015

Despite police threats of arrest and military intimidation Tamils across the North-East commemorated Maaveerar Naal.

Some held events in public whilst others held clandestine events in protest of the Sri Lankan government’s refusal to allow them to legally remember their war dead.

Memorial ceremonies took place across the North-East in homes, churches, universities, temples and at desecrated Liberation Tamil Tigers of Tamil (LTTE) cemetery sites.

Tamils across the world joined Tamils in the North-East in commemorating Maaveerar Naal in their respective countries of citizenship.
