Steps are being taken to construct a memorial pillar in Jaffna, in memory of journalists who have been killed in the line of duty.
Members of the Jaffna Press Club as well as the Working Journalists Association and Operational Group for Press Freedom put forward the proposal, ahead of a meeting between Tamil and Sinhala journalists later this month.

The meeting is part of a ‘Thalpathai – Panhidai’ Project due to take place on the 26th of March.

The Sri Lankan army held a meeting with a team from the Ministry of Parliamentary Reforms and Mass Media to discuss the project earlier this week.
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
