The government of Iran has expressed its willingness to further boost links with Sri Lanka, by looking to expand ties in the judicial fields.

Sri Lanka’s Minister of Justice and Sri Lanka Muslim Congress leader Rauf Hakeem went to meet Iranian Justice Minister Seyed Morteza Bakhtiari  in Iran earlier this week, with Bakhtiari stating that he hoped to transfer Iran’s legal experience over to Sri Lanka.

He was quoted by Fars news agency as saying,

"Given the existence of grounds for the promotion of interactions between the two countries of Iran and Sri Lanka, we can have effective interactions with each other not only in the extradition of criminals but also in other judicial and civil issues."

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
