The deferral of a United Nations inquiry into mass atrocities committed against the Tamil people has delayed justice, said Tamil National Alliance MP Suresh Premachandran.
“The Tamil people expected justice from the United Nations and thought the report might be the basis for resolving our problems,” Mr Premachandran told the LA Times.
“Unfortunately, justice has been delayed. We don’t know whether it will be denied,” he added.

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
