Residents of a village in Pottuvil, Amparai, are still protesting for the return of their lands, 55 days on.
The people of Kanagar village were displaced around 1990 by the Sri Lankan army and returned after the war to find their lands occupied by the Sri Lankan wildlife department as well as military forces.
The villagers said they would continue the protest until their lands were returned.
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
