#GetThePicture campaign maps militarisation of North-East

The United States Tamil Political Action Council has launched an interactive map, detailing the Sri Lankan state's increased militarisation across the Tamil homeland in the North-East.

The interactive map, released last week, maps out details of Sri Lankan military camps across the North-East.


Speaking to the Tamil Guardian, a USTPAC spokesperson revealed that similar interactive maps of the North-East are set to be released in the future.

In March, USTPAC also released an interactive map detailing the extent of Sinhalisation across the North-East.

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
