Members of the Gurunagar Jaffna police force visited the TNPF Jaffna office on two separate occasions yesterday, asking questions about future protests.
On the first visit, the officers demanded to know if there were any protests planned in the near future, to which TNPF members reportedly replied no. Later in the day, the police officers returned asking whether the TNPF had been invited to partake in someone else's protest. It is not known which protest they were alluding to.
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
