Military parade prepared despite role in atrocities against Tamils

Preparations were underway this week for a military parade marking Sri Lanka’s Independence Day on Feb 4 despite the military's well documented role in the mass killing, torture and disappearance of Tamils. 

The parade comes as the government continues to claim to be committed to ensuring reconciliation. 

 

We need your support

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
