Army constructs camp over LTTE's Mulliavallai cemetery

The Sri Lankan army is currently constructing an army camp for the 592 regiment, over the razed Mulliavallai LTTE cemetery, reported Tamilwin.

The LTTE's Mulliavallai cemetery was demolished soon after the government claimed victory in 2009, along with other LTTE memorials and cemeteries in the North-East.

Parents of the fallen LTTE cadres are said to be angered by the army's construction over the remains of their son or daughter.

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
