Some British and Australian politicians including those with links to Sri Lanka, expressed solidarity with the families of the victims.

Sri Lanka on Sunday marked the end of the war in which thousands of people were killed.

The military was accused of killing thousands of civilians during the final battle against the LTTE, particularly in Mullivaikal.

The Sri Lankan Government at the time denied the allegation and said that civilians were used as human shields by the LTTE.
