An investigation carried out by a social research and advocacy group based in the North East, The Social Architects (TSA), concluded that there were significant concerns in relation to ‘continued militarisation, the concomitant culture of fear which pervades the North and East and the asymmetrical implementation of the LLRC recommendations.”
The Social Architect report, 'Reevaluating Sri Lanka's LLRC Progress:part1', looked into progress made in implementing recommendations from Sri Lanka’s Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC), by conducting surveys that questioned 1043 people across the North-East.
Analysis of survey findings revealed that there were several concerns over the lack of progress relating to matters such as political rights, language rights, inclusive development and compensation aspects of the recommendations from the LLRC recommendations.

The TSA will delve further into the survey findings in the next part of their report.

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
