“Terminator” in ICC custody

The suspected war criminal General Bosco Ntaganda has arrived at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, after surrendering at the US embassy in Rwanda.

Gen Ntaganda has been charged by the ICC with 10 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

"This is a good day for victims in the DRC and for international justice," ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme

"Today those who have long suffered at the hands of Bosco Ntaganda can look forward to the prospects of justice taking its course."

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
