Tamil demonstrators protesting to highlight the prevalent disappearances, human rights abuses, on-going militarisation and lack of accountability and justice in the North-East were prevented from voicing their concerns to David Cameron today, as the British Premier met the Chief Minister C.V Wigneswaran in Jaffna.
Protestors faced strong intimidation from the Sri Lankan police as they attempted to stage demonstrations near sites being visited by David Cameron in Jaffna.

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
We need your support in keeping our journalism going. Support our work today.
