Mother of a fallen soldier lights a candle during a commemoration ceremony in Kandy
The mother of a fallen soldier lights a candle during a commemoration ceremony for soldiers who died over the two-decade long civil war with Tamil Tigers, at the Mailapitiya national war memorial in Kandy June 7, 2007. Sri Lanka evicted hundreds of minority ethnic Tamils from the capital on Thursday and sent them back to the war-torn north citing security concerns, as the military battled Tamil Tiger rebels in the east.
