A delegation from the EU is to embark on a four day visit of Sri Lanka today in order to monitor the implementation of international commitments associated with the granting of GSP+. 

“The MEPs Jean Lambert, Richard Corbett, Ulrike Müller and Wajid Khan would also visit EU-funded projects in the North and would conduct an inter-parliamentary dialogue,” the EU delegation said in a statement. 

The delegation is expected to meet with representatives of the government and civil society.

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
