The Sri Lankan army continued with its militarisation of the North-East, by organising a seminar for students in Muttur last week.
The seminar was reportedly a part of the military’s ongoing ‘community project’.
More than a decade has passed since the end of the armed conflict and yet the North-East continues to be occupied by the military. Tens of thousands of Sri Lankan soldiers are stationed across the North-East, where Tamil politicians and civil society organisations have criticised their intrusion into civilian life.

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
