Thileepan twelve day commemoration started
The twelve days of commemoration of Col. Thileepan began on Monday in the Tamil homeland.
The LTTE Leader launched the 2008 commemoration and paid homage to Thileepan in a specially arranged location. 
Thileepan fasted to death in 1987 putting forward five demands to the Indian Government which had sent 40,000 troops to the Tamil homeland in a failed attempt to resolve the ethnic conflict in the island.
