Tamils in Swansea, Wales this month launched a campaign to plant trees in remembrance of the genocide of the Tamil people by the Sri Lankan state, and as part of the 'Tree for Justice' campaign in Wales.
One of the organisers, Tharmalingam Luxshan told South Wales Evening Post, "The Tamil community in Sri Lanka continues to face a genocide in various forms including enforced disappearances, extra judicial killings, sexual violence and ethnic discrimination over the last 70 years since the British left the island."
"As a result, many Tamils were forced to flee in order to escape persecution and sought refuge in the UK."
Local councillors, Ceri Philpott and Paul Meara supported residents in the campaign.
