Sri Lankan military continues doing business in released lands

The Sri Lankan military continues to engage in local business activities in lands formally released to Tamil civilians in Valikaamam North.

The land was announced to be released earlier this week, just days ahead of the expected Oral Update report by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva.

Military personnel continue to run shops in the area, and have not released the MPCS building in Telipallai.

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
