Transparency International has spoken out against Sri Lanka's controversial Online Safety Bill that was signed into law last week, issuing a statement that said many of the amendments proposed by the Supreme Court are not in the final bill. 

The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) has appealed to the Office of the Independent Police Review Director to investigate the Peel Regional Police Chief’s recent controversial visit to Sri Lanka where he had an audience with Tiran Alles, Public Security Minister and Acting Inspector General of Police Deshabandu Tennakoon, and pledged to increase co-operation with country's notorious police force. 

TGTE says they are “appalled” by Nishan Duraiappah’s visit since it was only a week before the Acting IGP Tennakoon was handed a conviction of torture by Sri Lanka’s Supreme Court. 

On Monday (5), the leader of Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) and National People’s Power (NPP) coalition, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, met with India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, after the party was invited to discussion in Delhi for the first time.

The visit is seen as a significant outreach by Delhi to the leftist politician, ahead of widely expected presidential polls in Sri Lanka later this year and marks a possible change of heart from the JVP’s fiercely anti-India rhetoric that came to define its politics in the 1980s.

Tamils gathered in Bern, Switzerland today to protest Sri Lanka's 76th Independence Day which is deemed a 'black day' for Eelam Tamils. 

Flyers were distributed to explain the oppression the Eelam Tamil nation have been subjected to by the Sinhala Buddhist state for the last 76 years. 

Tamils protesting against Sri Lanka's 76th Independence Day outside Sri Lanka's High Commission in Australia were photographed by staff in an attempt to intimidate the protesters.

The Sri Lankan High Commission in the UK was forced into a last-minute change of plans for a religious ceremony scheduled to celebrate ‘Independence Day’ last weekend after locals expressed their displeasure.

Over 1,000 Tamils rallied through central London today to mark Sri Lanka's independence day as a 'black day' for the Tamil nation. 

For decades, the Tamil nation have rejected the day as they continue to be oppressed by the Sri Lankan state and lack basic rights. 

Santhosh Jha, Indian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, told journalists in Colombo, that the proposed construction of a wind power station on Mannar Island “should progress after a better negotiation process” after reports that Sri Lanka's Cabinet Appointed Negotiation Committee (CANC) has been "raising concerns over the project components".

India’s National Investigation Agency has conducted several raids in multiple locations across Tamil Nadu linked to key figures of the Naam Tamizhar Katchi (NTK) including popular Youtuber Saatai, over the alleged laundering of funds for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

Tamil politicians across Eelam have joined calls to repatriate Santhan, one of the seven released convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case who remains in an Indian prison, due to his deteriorating health.
