Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa will, tomorrow, brief Chief Buddhist prelates from the Maha Sangha, in an attempt to satisfy a request by the Buddhist institution to outline the situation at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).
The Maha Sangha, in a letter addressed to the president last week, drawing upon the Buddhist institution’s long history of assisting rulers of Sri Lanka to combat efforts by western and power-greedy groups to split the country, expressed the need to be fully briefed on happenings in Geneva.

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
