In Remembrance and MemoryBy Editor - May 18th, 2013 |

Written By: Mathusan Mahalingam Today marks the 4th year remembrance of May Massacre, the height of the genocidal onslaught on the Tamils carried out by the Sri-Lankan Government. Today, I think of the tens of thousands of innocent civilians bodies, I think of the tens of thousands of people who were displaced and forced into concentration-style camps, I think of the tens of thousands of children who were orphaned, and I think of the tens of thousands of people who were injured, and I think of the tens of thousands of girls who were raped. Years from now, when my children and their children learn about the events that happened in Mullivaykal in 2009, I want them to learn the truth. |
