Students from the University of Jaffna travelled to Mullivaikkal on Monday to begin clearing the memorial ground ahead of commemorations of Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day on May 18.
Remembrance events are set to take place across the North-East and diaspora countries in memory of the tens of thousands who were killed.
We need your support
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
