The Sri Lankan military placed a statue of Buddha inside the Tamil Hindu temple in Murunkan, Mannar.
The statue is the latest in the growing number of the Buddha statues and Buddhist stupas that have been erected by the military in the Tamil North-East following the end of the armed conflict in 2009.

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
