<strong>Lest</strong> we forget – Massacres of Tamils 1956 2002 A word of caution to the readers Large scale displacement had taken place among the Tamil community since the late 1970’s. The data collection based on which this report is written did not include those who have moved to places outside Northeast, many of whom are in fact living as refugees in other countries. Also missing are information about families that were killed en masse because no one is left in the villages to report about them. Given these two shortcomings in the data collection, what is described in this report is not a complete document about the large scale massacres of Tamil people committed by the SLAFs prior to the 2002 ceasefire agreement.
