Revelations suggest Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad allegedly provided $1M toward J.R. Jayewardene’s election campaign yet Tamil movements had long pointed to this connection. What was once dismissed is now being brought into the light.

There is no freedom of expression in our own homeland. No freedom even to remember. In many universities, speaking about the Tamil Eelam liberation struggle is silenced. Yet those who preach free speech travel abroad to defend it elsewhere.

Today I was prevented by @police from observing hearings at special trial at bar (open court) on #EasterAttacks. Police said its on order of judges, but refused to show such an order. Also said media can only cover if they posses a "media ID" & that national ID is not sufficient

3) Today also marks the 16th anniversary of the abduction and enforced disappearance Colombo-based cartoon journalist Prageeth Egneligoda. President @anuradisanayake who promised to ensure justice for all past murders, has done little to keep his words despite one year in office.

Due to the heavy rains that fell recently, the #Upcountry people who were affected and displaced had come to Vavuniya today with more than 35 family members to inspect lands. Many people have come forward to provide their lands. #Thanks_to_Vavuniyans

The far-right political party (TNPF) assumes the whole world is as racist as they are. Contrary to their portrayal, not all Tamils are racist. Irrespective of ethnicity, we are all human. There is nothing wrong with paying tribute to the Sinhalese naval personnel who sacrificed their lives to save Tamils during the flood disaster. This is a sentiment shared by many in the North. The banner is not wrong; it speaks of humanity, not grudges. Welcome to Earth. You have much to learn.

Yet in Jaffna-Mayiliddy, more than 20 police officers were deployed to suppress a peaceful protest against an illegal vihara — a protest of just 10 people. Now do you see what this country prioritises? Where its resources are being used?

Across the country, disasters have taken hundreds of lives. Even now, rescue operations continue — someone trapped beneath the mud may still be waiting, hoping to be saved. The country is operating under emergency regulations. (1)
