Sivaram remembered across North-East
Memorial events were held across the Tamil homeland this week to mark 15
years since the assassination of Tamil journalist Dharmeratnam ‘Taraki’
Sivaram.
D. Sivaram, also known as Taraki, was a renowned journalist and editor
of the website TamilNet, who was abducted on 28 April 2005. His body was found the following day inside a High-Security Zone in Himbulala, a Sinhala suburb of Colombo.
Families of the disappeared in Vavuniya lit candles, as they remembered the slain Tamil journalist on day 1167 of their protest.
Meanwhile, the Jaffna Press Club marked the anniversary of the killings
of Sivaram and Selvarajah Rajivarman in another remembrance event.
Selvarajah Rajivarman, a journalist who worked for Namathu Eezhanadu and Thinakkural before joining the Uthayan, was killed two years to the day, by a lone gunman in the middle of Jaffna town. He was just 25-years-old at the time.
In Vavuniya, Tamil journalists paid tribute to Sivaram in a memorial event organised this week.
The TNPF office in Batticaloa also paid tribute to the murdered journalist.
