| British Defence Secretary Liam Fox has long been a supporter of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, especially after accusations of mass killings by the latter's regime. Dr Fox is at the centre of a political storm in Britain over his working relationship with a close friend, Mr. Adam Werritty.

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
