A map of violence associated with the Northern Provincial Council election has now gone live online. The map was created by the Centre for Monitoring Election Violence, an organisation formed by the Centre for Policy Alternatives, the Free Media Movement and the Coalition Against Political Violence.
See here and a screenshot of the map, taken today, below -

The map was published as foreign election monitors from India, Afghanistan, Nepal and Pakistan, arrive in Sri Lanka. The foreign observers are to meet the Elections Commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya, as well as representatives from the political parties contesting the Northern Provincial Council election.
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
