The Chief Minister of the Northern Province CV Wigneswaran said that hard drugs were purposely being introduced to the youth to stop them from rallying together.

Mr Wigneswaran warned the Tamil student community that circulation of drugs was an attempt to ensure that they “should not excel in their studies, have no freedom of thought, and that no flames of liberation should blaze in their hearts.”

Speaking at a sports meet in the Northern Province, Mr Wigneswaran added, that after “destroying many (Tamil) youth” the drugs had been introduced to ensure that “they will not rise up again.”

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
