Members of the Sri Lankan army visited the United Kingdom last month to compete in the Armed Forces Parachutes Championship.
The official Sri Lankan army website declared that this was the first time a military team from the “Sri Lanka Army skydiving display team performed on a foreign soil (sic)”.
It went on to state that after the tournament, the Sri Lankan soldiers were “invited to take part in a parachute display during the closing ceremony along with Red Devils, Golden Knights and other professional display teams of the UK”.

“Sri Lanka Army team excelled in the 5 way stack (Canopy Formation), which was highly appreciated by the Chief Guest, distinguished invitees and all officials who were present at the ceremony,” the website added.

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
