This is not the end. We won't stop fighting until every dying person has choice.

Seven years after the Sri Lanka Easter bombings, victims and their families are still waiting for truth and justice. Hundreds were killed in coordinated attacks on churches and hotels in 2019 and yet accountability remains incomplete. We must: • Demand independent investigations • Hold those responsible to account • Stand with victims’ families Read our new blog here: srilankacampaign.org/seven-years-af…

I’ve spent years writing about Eelam Tamil politics, our losses, our resilience. In all that time, one absence has been particularly glaring. Tamil cinema has never allowed us to be the protagonists of our own story - not in any meaningful way. Kollywood can sometimes have an exploitative relationship with Eelam Tamils. We’ve been portrayed as sympathetic refugees at best, criminals as worst. There are a few films about us, but never have any been made by us. ‘Neelira’ is a step in a different direction. Directed by @someeth and produced by @karthiksubbaraj, it is the first Eelam-centred film to be made within Kollywood and released globally. Set entirely in Jaffna and directed by an Eelam Tamil. That is not a small thing. The Indian censor board and wider film industry in general is still extremely problematic. But for those who grew up seeing stories told about us but never with us, this film is something to hold onto. An Eelam story on a Kollywood platform, with a global release. Go watch it. A fuller piece with my thoughts is coming soon. #Neelira #Eelam #Kollywood #TamilCinema #TamilEelam

For decades, inquiry reports into human rights violations in Nepal have remained unpublished. The report on the human rights violations during #GenZ protests in September 2025, submitted to the Government on 8 March 2026, must not meet the same fate. @PM_nepal_ @pmsushilakarki

The case concerning the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Arulpius, who was shot dead last month by Kayts Police in the Allaipiddy area of Jaffna, was taken up today (12) before the Kayts Magistrate’s Court. More than 15 police officers, including a Senior Superintendent of Police, appeared before the court. Representing the victim’s family were six lawyers, including Kumaravadivel Guruparan, Arul Niros, and Shalini. During submissions, the lawyers representing the family stated that they have no confidence in the investigation conducted by the police, noting that the bullet which caused the death has still not been recovered. They also highlighted several inconsistencies in the investigation, including the lack of evidence to show that a bullet had passed through the vehicle’s front windshield as claimed. Attorney Arul Niros requested that the investigation be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Colombo. Meanwhile, Kumaravadivel Guruparan argued that earlier B-reports filed by the police suggested the shooting was carried out in self-defence, indicating that a conclusion had already been reached before a proper investigation was completed. He further pointed out that a report dated 10 February 2026 stated that the bullets had been fired from firearms issued to Police Constables Salman and Marasinghe, yet they had neither been arrested nor even named as suspects. The police rejected the allegations and told the court that the investigation is being carried out properly and that relevant forensic materials have been sent for examination. After hearing submissions from both sides, Magistrate Nalini Subaskaran noted that the concerns raised by the victim’s family indicated serious dissatisfaction with the current investigation. Emphasizing the need to ensure both justice and public confidence in the investigative process, the Magistrate ordered the Inspector General of Police to transfer the investigation to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Colombo. The case was adjourned until April 22 for further proceedings. #Arulpius

We have been made aware of a distressing image doing the rounds today, suggesting Tottenham have beaten us 3-1. This has clearly been photoshopped, and we will be taking this up with the relevant authorities. Even we'd beat Spurs...

Tamil victims of enforced disappearances in Sri Lanka's 5 northern districts entering year 10 of the country's longest ongoing protest denounced the indifference of the government as well as the international powers and urged the current and proposed terror laws be scrapped off.

While marching to mark 3287 days of protest, relatives of the disappeared Tamils on Friday (20) stopped by the Office on Missing Persons (OMP) in Kilinochchi to voice their protest against inaction of the state run body tasked with 'searching for & tracing missing persons.'
