Acknowledging a recent meeting between former students at Jaffna Hindu College and the Sri Lankan president, the JHCOBA UK said the organisation’s name had been unnecessarily been dragged into a personal meeting between the president and individuals.
The JHCOBA said it was “totally against those individuals using JHCOBA UK’s name for personal benefits and promoting themselves identifying them as community representatives.”

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
