Addressing a group of American Sri Lankans who were visiting Temple Trees on Tuesday, the Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa reminded them of what is expected of them: 'unstinting support from all Sri Lankans living abroad'.
He added that 'Sri Lanka needs not only the support of the expatriate community but also of the diaspora community to overcome the anti-Sri Lankan forces in the international arena.'

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
