British Tamils protested in London on Monday, in solidarity with Tamil families of the disappeared protesting in Kilinochchi.
The protest outside Downing Street drew attention to the mass demonstration, including widespread hartals, taking place in the Tamil homeland demanding justice for the disappeared and rejecting time extensions given to Sri Lanka to implement the UN Human Rights Council resolution it signed up for four years ago.
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
