A recently formed advocacy movement, the Dead And Missing Persons Parents' Front (MPPF), condemned the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) for a favorable attitude towards Tamils and for supporting terrorist organisations in Sri Lanka.
Claiming that the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) was involved in assisting terrorists, the chairperson of the movement, Ananda Perera, proposed that instead of scrutinising the Sri Lankan government the UNHRC should be focusing its attention on the Tamil National Alliance.
Prior to the start of the UNHRC sessions, the MPPF took the opportunity to criticise the United Nations commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, for producing a report that sided with the Tamil Diaspora.
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
