UK Labour Party reiterates support for Saharawi self determination

The United Kingdom's Labour Party reaffirmed its support of the right to self determination for the Saharawi people in Western Sahara, reports the Sahara Press Service.

The Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Douglas Alexander pledged support and called for human rights to be respected in the region, an issue that he said remains a “sacred principle” for the Labour Party.

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
