China slammed US calls for accountability to those killed during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, accusing the US "prejudice".

In a statement the US State Department urged China to "end harassment of those who participated in the protests and fully account for those killed, detained, or missing."

China's official news agency, Xinhua, quoted the Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei as saying, the US should "immediately rectify its wrongdoings and stop interfering in China's internal affairs so as not to sabotage China-U.S. relations".

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
