Mullivaikkal Remembrance Day
Mullivaikkal Remembrance Day (or simply Mullivaikkal Day; (タミル語:முள்ளிவாய்க்கால் நினைவு நாள்) ''Muḷḷivāykkāl Niṉaivu Nāḷ'') is a remembrance day observed by Sri Lankan Tamil people to remember those who died in the final stages of the Sri Lankan Civil War. It is held each year on 18 May, the date on which the civil war ended in 2009, and is named after Mullivaikkal, a village on the north-east coast of Sri Lanka which was the scene of the final battle of the civil war.
==Background==
Between 1983 and 2009 Sri Lankan Tamil militant groups led by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) fought against the Sri Lankan state to create an independent state of Tamil Eelam in the north and east of Sri Lanka. By 2007 the civil war had cost an estimated 70,000 lives. The final months of the civil war in late 2008/early 2009 witnessed particularly brutal fighting between the Sri Lankan military and the LTTE. Around 300,000 civilians were trapped between the two sides.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amnesty.org/en/news-and-updates/un-must-investigate-sri-lanka-rights-violations-2010-05-17 )〕 The civil war ended on 18 May 2009 with the killing of the LTTE leader. A United Nations report found that as many as 40,000 civilians may have been killed in the final months of the civil war, mostly as a result of indiscriminate shelling by the Sri Lankan military. There are widespread allegations that both sides committed atrocities and human rights violations including war crimes. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights is currently investigating the alleged war crimes.
