Unemployed Tamil graduates have been protesting continuously against the North-East in response to widespread unemployment and lack of employment opportunities for graduates in the region.
On Wednesday, protestors formed a human chain to raise awareness and on Thursday, day 11, protestors rallied outside the Northern Provincial Council.
A similar protest has been taking place in Batticaloa.
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
