As member of the Navatkerny Mother's Front, Poopathy Kanapathipillai from Batticaloa, commenced a fast unto death on March 19, 1988 to protest the injustices and atrocities committed by the IPKF.

She had called for an immediate ceasefire and peace talks between the IPKF and the LTTE.

Her fast ended on April 19 with her death.

Her 28 year old son was shot dead by the Sri Lankan army and another son randomly shot dead by the Special Task Force. Another son, arrested during round up operations, was held in Boosa army camp and subjected to severe torture.

Her sacrifice continues to be commemorated by Eelam Tamils across the globe.
