Members of the Tamil People's National Front (TNPF) held a blood donation drive on Sunday, in memory of those who had been killed by Sri Lankan state forces during the final stages of the armed conflict in 2009.
The event, which was held at the Navalar Kalachaara Mandapam in Jaffna, saw a number of party members as well as local youths take part.
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
