Families of the disappeared hold candle-lit vigil

Families of the disappeared staged a candle-lit vigil in Vavuniya, Sunday

The event was organised by the Vavuniya civil monitoring group in a further attempt to raise awareness about the plight of the disappeared and their families.

Hundreds of effected families also staged demonstrations to raise awareness during the historic visit of the British premier, David Cameron, to the North-East on Friday.

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
