Families of the disappeared demonstrated in Batticaloa on Monday to mark International Children’s Day.
The rally emphasised the plight of Tamil children growing up with disappeared parents.
Protesters called on the international community to increase pressure on Sri Lanka to provide answers about their disappeared relatives.
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
