Tamils in Valikaamam North began a five day hunger strike this morning in protest against the High Security Zone and the on-going land grabs by the Sri Lankan state within the North-East.
Yesterday protest organisers received death warnings, as they woke up to the heads of dead cows on their door steps. See here.

The protest takes place as Sri Lanka welcomes numerous heads of state to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Colombo.
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
