The Canadian Minister of Foreign Affair’s press secretary, Rick Roth, outlined today that the Canadian government would not rule out taking action against Sri Lanka.

Responding to calls for sanctions on Sri Lanka after a new report found credible evidence of deliberate planning behind crimes committed against Tamils , Roth told the National Post that the Canadian government was “prepared to take principled actions to encourage tangible progress” towards justice and accountability in Sri Lanka.

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
