Weerawansa's revelations...

Speaking on the Seventh Hour Programme, the well-known Minister Wimal Weerawansa informed viewers that the recent situation with the Chief Justice was 'another LTTE conspiracy to destabilise the country.'

Stating that the Chief Justice had published articles on devolution of power, Weerawansa pointed his finger towards the publication of the Chief Justice's articles on the Groundviews website and TamilNet.

He added, 'the Chief Justice is implementing Prabhakaran’s agenda in another form to destabilize the country by creating a rift between the judiciary and the legislature to resolve her own problem,' and said, 'this is being done with the support of international forces and the Tamil Diaspora to prove the allegation at the Geneva Human Rights Council sessions in March, that there is a breakdown in law and order in the country and that the Chief Justice had been driven out of office.'

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
