Occupied Tamil Eelam mobilised to mark Heroes Day amidst SL military threats

Occupied Tamil Eelam mobilised to mark Heroes Day amidst SL military threats


Braving various harassments coming from the occupying Sinhala military and the SL Police, the people of occupied Tamil Eelam have fully mobilised to mark Tamil Eelam Heroes Day (Maaveerar Naa'l) in a big scale for the first time since 2008 in their occupied homeland. One of the first Heroes Cemeteries (Maaveerar thuyilum illam) at Ka'l'lik-kaadu, Nedungkea'ni in Vavuniyaa, which was created by the LTTE during the times of Indian occupation, has been renovated by the people, news sources in Vanni said. Similarly, one of the last Heroes Cemeteries at Iraddai-Mu'l'livaaykkaal, where the war dead Tamil fighters were buried during the final days in 2009, has also been prepared by the people. Red and yellow decorations have been put up at all the locations of Heroes Cemeteries except those being still occupied by the SL military.

Hundreds of additional Sinhala soldiers have been deployed at Koappaay where the occupying Sinhala military has put up its military headquarters for Division 512 with an intention to keep the largest Tamil Eelam Heroes Cemetery in Jaffna away from public access. 

On Sunday, SL soldiers were patrolling the streets in Koappaay in Buffel Armoured Personnel Carriers in a threatening manner.

However, the self-mobilised Heroes Day Facilitating Committee in Koappaay has announced that it would proceed with the commemoration event at a private land situated in front of the desecrated Heroes Cemetery at Koappaay on 27 November.
