An exhibition commemorating Colonel Kittu, one of the most prominent senior leaders of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, was held in Jaffna this week.

The exhibition took place at Kittu Park, a site named in remembrance of the LTTE commander, and drew members of the public who gathered to view displays documenting his life and political trajectory.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called on foreign governments to promote accountability in Sri Lanka through targeted sanctions, criminal investigations, and prosecutions, in the wake of a new report by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). which documents the widespread and systematic use of conflict-related sexual violence by Sri Lankan state forces. 

British Tamils were honoured at a Thai Pongal reception held at Number 10 Downing Street on Friday, marking a growing recognition of the community’s contribution to life in the United Kingdom.
