More than 100 bodies have been excavated from a mass grave site in Mannar, with excavations continuing for the 58th day on Monday.
A total of 102 skeletons have been found so far, with 95 having been taken away and stored under the authority of a Sri Lankan court.
The central part of this compound is currently being excavated.
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
