The leader of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), R Sampanthan, today held meetings with Japan's ambassador and Australia's High Commissioner.
The meeting comes after Sri Lanka's political crisis at the end of last year which resulted in Sampanthan losing his position as opposition leader, despite much protest by the TNA.
The TNA spokesperson and MP, M A Sumanthiran was also present in the meetings.
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
