Nagarkovil massacre commemorated in Jaffna
Tamils in Jaffna commemorated the 1995 Sri Lankan air force bombing of a
school this week, as calls for justice for the massacre continue.
23Sep 2018
Commemorations were held at the Nagarkovil Mahavithiyalam school in Jaffna to mark the 23rd anniversary of the massacre.
At least 39 people, including 21 students were killed, and almost 200
injured in the bombing by Sri Lankan air force jets. The bombing, which
occured under the presidency of Chandrika Kumaratunga, was widely
condemned.
Kumaratunga now heads Sri Lanka's Office for National Unity and
Reconciliation and was recently awarded France's highest national
honour, despite the allegations of war crimes.
