Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day In Scarborough
Tamils wait lay flowers on a makeshift memorial during Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day on May 18, 2019 in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day and the Battle of Mullivaikal which led to the end of the 26 year long civil war between the Sri Lankan Army and the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) that claimed countless lives and caused massive destruction. Many Tamils around the globe have been calling for an independent Tamil state in Sri Lanka called Tamil Eelam and an inquiry into the genocide against the Tamil people by the Sri Lankan Army and the Sri Lankan government.
