Today, #Brampton City Council unanimously voted to build our own #mullivaikkalmemorial. While the Sri Lankan regime attempts to whitewash their own blood stained history, we will do the opposite in Canada.
We will not forget the Tamil Genocide.
We remember the victims.
UN estimates that up to 75,000 Tamil civilians were murdered during the #TamilGenocide.
The destruction of the #Mullivaikkal Memorial was an attempt by the Sri Lankan state to continue a cultural genocide, pretend the victims didn’t exist and rewrite history.
