Ukraine extends sanctions on Russia

 Ukraine extended its sanctions lust against Russia to include people and institutions involved in the detention of Ukrainian citizens.

The Ukrainian Security and Defence Council announcement came after Russia sentenced Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda Savchenko to 22 years in prison on Friday.

The Defence council announced that sanctioned entities “included on the sanctions list include the managers and works of the security service, the Russian Investigative Committee, prosecutors, the judiciary, military and others.”

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
