The Sri Lankan Army continued with its series of trips to the Palaly military base for Tamil preschool children, despite criticism about intensifying militarisation of Tamil schools and preschools.
The Palaly base lies within a High Security Zone - a vast area of mostly privately owned land that remains occupied by military forces and inaccessible to locals and the original landowners.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
