To commemorate the 13th Anniversary of Mullivaikkal, a gathering and candlelight vigil was held at the Vancouver Art Gallery from 4 to 7 pm on 18 May 2022. Those present paid homage to the thousands who were killed during the height of Tamil Genocide in Mullivaikkal. There were speeches at the event after which people lit candles as a mark of respect for the genocide victims and as a mark of protest; the latter was also pronounced by some people wearing black, simultaneously mourning and protesting. Among other organizations, SANSAD, led by Premrajah Chelliah, stood in solidarity with the #May18 remembrance and protest.
We are thankful to Ajay Bhardwaj for the photographs taken at the Art Gallery today.
