Relatives of the disappeared took to the streets more than 643 days ago across the North-East, calling for answers on the whereabouts of their loved ones. Whilst demonstrators have met with several government officials, including Sri Lankan president Maithripala Sirisena who pledged to meet their demands, none have been met.

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
