With the aim of bringing the plight of the motherland to the attention of the world community, the Tamils of the world gathered and paid their respects to Murugathasan, who was set on fire in front of the United Nations in Switzerland on 12.02.2009.
Murugathasan’s body was laid to rest at the chapel located at 57 rue de montbrillant, 1202 Geneva, near the United Nations. Today at 10.30 am, the Tamils of the world gathered for the meeting to be held in front of the UN marched towards the church to pay their floral tributes.
After hearing and seeing the suffering of the people due to the war imposed by the Sri Lankan government on the Tamils in Tamileelam, the heartbroken Tamils of the world gathered before the appointed time to pay their respects.
Their eyes became a pool and their hearts boiled like a volcano. Arrangements were made to offer floral tributes till 12 noon. The 1,000s of people who have gathered there continue to make their way to a park near Geneva’s main train station, where the rally will begin, to take their grievances to the world community.
(Translation by Tamilpriya)
