In this July 25, 2011 photo, Sri Lankan ethnic Tamils walk past a beheaded statute of a prominent Tamil social leader in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. The road blocks have been dismantled, the sandbags removed, and Sri Lanka is again a palm-fringed tourist paradise, the government says.

But for ethnic Tamils living in the former war zone, it is still a hell of haunted memories, military occupation and missing loved ones.
