Sri Lankan police photograph Tamils demonstrating against Thoothukodi shootings

Tamils protesting in Jaffna against the killing of Thoothukodi protesters in Tamil Nadu faced police intimidation as officers and security personnel photographed participants. 

The protest, which took place in front of the Consulate General of India in Jaffna on June 1, condemned the Tamil Nadu police's violence against the protesters and the government's inaction to provide justice for those killed. 

Sri Lankan police officers and security personnel from within the Consulate were seen taking photographs of all participants. 

 

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
