Thousands gathered in Mullivaikkal, Sri Lanka, to honor those lost in the final battle of the civil war on May 18, 2009. Families paid respects with prayers and offerings, recalling the horrors of indiscriminate shelling that claimed many lives, including children and seniors. The week leading up to May 18 is marked as ‘Mullivaikkal Remembrance Week,’ with some calling it ‘Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day.’ Arrests of those serving kanji, a symbolic dish, sparked criticism. Survivors demand answers for the whereabouts of tens of thousands missing.
