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. 

A Tamil student attached to the Jaffna University has complained to the National Human RightsCommission after he was detained and tortured at the hands of Sri Lanka police in Jaffna. 

Sri Lanka police have arrested a man they claim is a leader of the ‘Ava’ gang, a crime syndicate with reported links to the Sri Lankan military that is notorious for extortion and violent crimes throughout Jaffna. 

As Eelam Tamil across the North-East have gathered en-masse on Sri Lanka’s 76^th Independence Day to protest the continued denial of their rights, Sri Lankan MP and hard-line nationalist Sarath Weerasekera visited Jaffna and claimed that Tamils are celebrating independence day.

Leader of the Tamil Arasu Katchi (ITAK), Sivagnanam Shritharan was aggressively manhandled by Sri Lankan police earlier today when the Member of parliament tried to remove a protestor from the clutches of police during a protest in Kilinochchi.
