The Tamil Youth Organisation in the UK and Tamil societies at 29 British universities paid tribute to those who gave their lives to the Tamil liberation struggle on Friday, as they held a Maveerar Week commencement event entirely online.
Due to coronavirus restrictions in place across Britain, the organisations held a virtual event, which saw speeches, poems, dances and other tributes to fallen fighters, after the hoisting of the Tamil Eelam flag and lighting of lamps.
See the full video of the event above.
