California signs bill to teach students about Armenian genocide

The Governor of California signed a bill on Thursday that will see teaching on the Armenian genocide brought into public schools across the state.

Governor Jerry Brown signed the Armenian Genocide Education Act which will see survivor and witness testimony incorporated into the teaching of human rights across public schools. The bill will also encourage more professional development activities and resource development for teachers to educate their pupils about the genocide.

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
