Today is Mullivaikal Remembrance Day or Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day

May 18 commemorates the 2009 genocide of Tamils by the government of Sri Lanka, and the global failure to intervene on behalf of human rights, yet again.

If you don't know what we're talking about, it is because, like nearly all stories of human rights violations against BIPOC (in Canada and around the world), this story didn't get the news coverage it deserved until the Tamil community in Canada took their cry for help to the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto.
