Breaking the Silence 2014: UCL

Students at University College London held their annual 'Breaking the Silence' exhibition this term, raising awareness of the ongoing genocide of the Tamil people and human rights abuses taking place on the island of Sri Lanka.

Taking place at the North Cloisters in the Main Building, dozens of passers by stopped to view the posters and artwork on display highlighting the ongoing human rights violations taking place.

After viewing the exhibition, students wrote down their thoughts, expressing shock at the deplorable situation on the island.

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
