Tamil memorial service Monday - Cayman

Featured Replies

A memorial service for Tamils takes place on Monday, 16 May.

The service will be held at the South Sound Community Hall from 6pm to 8pm and is in memory of victims of genocide by the Sri Lanka state army.

The service will include a silent prayer and briefly explain the past, present and future of the event, explained organisers, Karthickeyan Palasniapoon and Vivek Guinasekaran.

“It is not just for the Sri Lankans who died; we want to raise a voice for all crimes against humanity. We are thinking to help the community in Cayman also in some sort of way.

“The war crimes were a hidden story that had never been told because of the war; no journalists, press or international agencies were allowed to go inside [the country]. Right now, there are a lot of clippings and videos coming out of Sri Lanka through troops that have taken [footage] on mobile phones,” explained Mr. Guinasekaran.

UN resolution

The United Nations report on events in Sri Lanka was presented on 31 March. A resolution motion was presented to the UN on May 10 for a debate to follow up on the report.

“Even the UN don’t have the freedom to go to Sri Lanka to see what happened,” added Mr. Palasniapoon.

Memorial services are taking place in around 32 countries worlwide, including the United States, Canada, Great Britain, India and Australia.

There are an estimated 100 Tamil-speaking people in Cayman.
