Sri Lanka must fully and rapidly implement its commitments to accountability as laid out in UN Human Rights Council resolutions, the Tamil National Alliance said at its May Day rally.
Releasing a May Day resolution at their rally in Alayadivembu, Amparai, the party prioritised fulfilment of the latest human rights council resolution, as well as the achievement of a political settlement for Tamils, based on self-determination for a reunited North-East.
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
