British Tamils protested outside the Sri Lankan High Commission in London today on Sri Lanka's 75th Independence Day.
Protesters held Tamil Eelam flags and said that the day was a 'black day' for the Tamil nation that marked 75 years of genocide and oppression at the hands of the Sri Lankan state.
Similar protests were also held in the Tamil homeland.
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
