Remembrance remains extremely contentious for the Tamil community in the NE of Sri Lanka. Yesterday the state further proved the concerns of the Tamil community over their ability to mourn the deceased with the destruction of the Mullivaikkal memorial in Jaffna University.
How do you make government violence look like natural extinction? By setting up detention centers in the North-East where the Tamils live.
This is the Sri Lankan government once again discriminating and intentionally creating panic.
I can’t imagine the pain that Tamil families of the disappeared are feeling after Gota’s statement that they are all dead.
This piece @Abihabib is further insult to injury for ignoring Tamil mothers, who have been protesting for answers for over 1000days.

I’m wondering what the ancient customs of name changes were if there were any. Did we use family names to trace back to our ancestors or did we always use our husbands names?
