Justice demanded for murdered journalists at Jaffna rally
Protesters demanded justice for murdered journalists today at a rally in Jaffna.
26 January 2019
The rally marked the 13th anniversary of the murdered Sudar Oli
journalist, Subramaniyam Sugirdharajan, who was shot dead in Trincomalee
after exposing the Sri Lankan Special Task Force's killing of 5 Tamil
students, known as the 'Trinco 5'.
Sugirdharajan had accompanied one of the father of the murdered
students, Dr Manoharan to the mortuary and published photos showing the
bodies with point-blank gunshot injuries, thereby disproving government
claims that the students had been killed by a grenade explosion.
The family of Subramaniyam Sugirdharajan mourn besides his body after he was gunned down in Trincomalee
The 'Trinco 5' – remains one of the highest profile killings in Sri
Lanka to receive international attention, listed in 2014 by the then UN
High Commissioner for Human Rights' report on the island as one of four
‘emblematic cases’ of the government's failure to ensure accountability
and having been raised repeatedly in international forums.
To date no one has been held accountable for the Trinco 5 murders or for the killing of Sughirdharajan.
