Tamils returned to released land in Valikaamam North to find their Hindu temples and Christian churches destroyed, and replaced with Buddhist viharas.

The land was previously held by the Sri Lankan military as a High Security Zone (HSZ).
Locals expressed concern that Sri Lankan military officers will continue to return to the Buddhist viharas for worship despite the release of land.

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
