A group of Tamil protestors congregate for a peaceful sit-in to oppose the construction of a Buddhist Vihara on the premises of a demolished Hindu shrine.

This is not a situation that requires the presence of masked paramilitary gun-men.

கதறினோம்.. யாரும் கேட்கவில்லை.. நினைத்தால் இப்பொழுது நெஞ்சம் கனக்கிறது.,

Today we remember and honour the tens of thousands of innocent Tamils slaughtered by government forces while the world, in effect, looked the other way. This is not an historical event, but a terrible ongoing injustice which demands urgent international action #Mullivaikal #May18

[shalin @uthayashalin]

Nine years today since many thousands of Tamil people were massacred by Sri Lankan armed forces, thousands of Tamils flocked to #Mullivaikkaal to pay tribute to the victims. #May18

[Mario Arulthas @MarioArul]

Nine years to the day when thousands of Tamils were being slaughtered by Sri Lanka and there was no outrage. No headlines. Barely any statements by countries. Not much has changed https://t.co/m2QR4HkcqP

On this day 9 years ago, the UN Security Council discussed #SriLanka at their monthly lunch.

Despite all the informal talk, no action was ever taken. How many lives could they have saved? #MullivaaikaalDiaries https://t.co/S07UIfixwq

[Dr. Thusiyan Nandakumar @Thusi_Kumar]

On this day, 9 years ago - Satellite images suggest #LKA army fired shells in a formation straight out of @USArmy field manual.

Serious questions to be answered. Was US training used by #SriLanka to fire shells on civilians? (photos from US manual)

A banner goes up at #Nallur, which roughly translated says -

‘Our salutations to the #maaveerar, patriots and civilians who sacrificed their lives for the #Tamil national struggle. #Tamils’ thirst is for #TamilEelam.’
