Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day in Ontario

Tamil Bharatnatyam dancers mimic the execution squads of the Sri Lankan Army while performing an emotional dance honoring the dead and showcasing the atrocities committed by the Sri Lankan Army during Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day on May 18 2017 in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. Tamils gathered to remember the victims of the civil war in Northern Sri Lanka that claimed countless lives and caused massive destruction. Many Tamils around the globe have been pushing for a referendum in 2020 calling for an independent Tamil state in Sri Lanka called Tamil Eelam. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
