Human skeletal remains have been uncovered in Mullaitivu this week, in yet another discovery of potential graves in the North-East.

Little information has been released by authorities, with Sri Lankan police investigations reportedly underway.
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
