Buddhist monks carried out a demonstration on Wednesday, demanding the immediate removal of a Mosque and the Muslim community living at Anuradhapuram, Malwathu Oya, reported Uthayan.

Muslim Tamil National Front Leader, Azath Saali, raised concerns about the Muslim Congress’ inadequacy at addressing the harsh oppressive reality of the Sri Lankan government, stating:

“Continuous suppression against the Muslim people is unleashed in this country. Suppression is unleashed exceedingly by the government against the Muslims, but Sri Lanka Muslim Congress which is glues with the government is watching and having fun.”

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
