A former Iraqi soldier was last week charged with war crimes in Germany for crimes allegedly committed in 2015 in Iraq.
The soldier, known as Rami K, came to Germany as an asylum-seeker in 2015.
He reportedly posed for a photograph carrying the heads of two Islamic State fighters, which was posted on social media.
“The suspect raised the severed heads of two IS fighters, who had been killed in combat, by the hair into the air," AP quoted the German prosecutors as saying.
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
