The Sri Lankan government rejected reports that the External Affairs Minister, Prof G.L. Peiris has submitted a document on its plans to implement the LLRC recommendations, during a visit to Washington last month.

The chair of the 'task force' overseeing implentation, Lalith Weerathunga, said,

“We are yet to determine the potentiality of recommendations in the LLRC report and which recommendations can be implemented,”

“We will announce what recommendations could be implemented in due course. We plan to announce the short term strategy of implementation by mid July.”

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
