Shops and transportation links were shut down across many parts of the Jaffna peninsula today, as businesses expressed solidarity with the Ezhuka Tamil rally taking place.
The protest, which took place earlier today, saw thousands of people take to the streets with demands ranging from justice for enforced disappearances and a halt to Sinhala colonisation of the Tamil homeland.
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
