The increasing religious violence taking place on the island was highlighted in a new infographic on “Religious Violence in Post-War Sri Lanka” released by the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) on Tuesday.
“The trends highlighted by CPA have continued unabated, most recently evident in the June 2014 violence in Aluthgama and surrounding areas. Other incidents of violence have not received the same attention as Aluthgama, thereby skewing the understanding of the scale and level of violence targeting minority religions in particular, in Sri Lanka,” said the CPA in a statement.

We need your support
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
