ITAK leader warns of more protests if Sri Lanka ignores UN resolution

The leader of the Ilankai Tamil Arasu Katchi (ITAK) Mavai Senathirajah warned of continuous Tamil protests if the Sri Lankan government continued to ignore implementation of a United Nations resolution.

Speaking at Nallur temple in Jaffna, the Tamil National Alliance parliamentarian said promises made by both the Sri Lankan president and prime minister were yet to be kept.

“If the UN resolutions are ignored by the Sri Lankan government even after the report submitted by the High Commissioner of the UNHRC, then we will be in a position to decide on staging continuous protests,” he added.

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
