Inviting student leaders from across Tamil Nadu, India and around the world, the conference organisers call for Sri Lanka to be expelled from the Commonwealth nations, and for member countries to boycott CHOGM 2013.

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
