Lack of will for meaningful transitional justice say civil society to UN chief

In a letter handed to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, civil society organisations have criticised the Sri Lankan government lack of political will on meaningful transitional justice and its failure to establish a conducive environment for meaningful consultations on any process. 

The letter, handed to Mr Ban during his visit to Jaffna last week, was signed by Centre for Human Rights and Development, Centre for the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights, Home for Human Rights, Tamil Civil Society Forum and The Social Architects.

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
