Thousands of pages detailing Nazi atrocities in Eastern and Western Europe were only examined by German investigators in the last four years, having never been previously informed of its existence.

Most suspects and witnesses from the archives have died, resulting in many war criminals escaping prosecution.

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
