The May 17 Movement, a Tamil National Civil rights activist group fighting for the rights of Sri Lankan Tamils, has called for a candlelight tribute behind the Kannagi statue on the Marina yesterday (21/05) evening, in memory of the more than a lakh Lankan Tamils killed in the final phase of the war in Sri Lanka. Baahubali actor Sathyaraj, too, has released a video message requesting people to join the meet.
However, the police released a statement in anticipation that said, "It's illegal to gather or hold protests along the beach and those who violate will be arrested and prosecuted."
