Rohingya Muslims held an event on Friday to show solidarity with Tamils around the world, marking Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day and commemorating 9 years since the massacres at Mullivaikkal.

The event was organised by the Rohingya Community Ireland, who wrote the following message on their Facebook page.

On Mullivaikkal Remembrance Day, Rohingya Community Ireland stands with the Tamils, the victims of Sri Lankan Genocide which resulted in tens of thousands of deaths in the final stage of the genocide.

We, Rohingya from Myanmar also know how it feels to lose beloved ones and being denied the justice for the loss.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
