Eelam Tamils have demanded that a group of Rohingya asylum seekers who were fleeing persecution in Myanmar are not deported back to persecution, as they demonstrated in Mullaitivu today.

The Democratic Tamil National Alliance (DTNA) has called for swift action from the Sri Lankan government to address the long-standing issues of the Tamil nation and ensures its autonomy within a united North-East.

Suresh Premachandran, media spokesperson for the DTNA, urged the government to establish a constitution that guarantees autonomy for Tamils in the North-East. He also emphasized the urgent need to hold local government elections with full powers vested in elected bodies.
