A must-watch powerful documentary, NEELAN: UNSILENCED by @pitasanna, tells the story of Dr. Neelan Tiruchelvam - an academic and renowned intellectual assassinated by the #LTTE in 1999 as part of their campaign to silence those who spoke against their atrocities.

Another great piece of coverage for 'Killing the Travellers' in a leading Sri Lankan newspaper. It’s great to see the film and its cause gaining attention both nationally and internationally.
Thank you @thisluckymish & @FT_SriLanka

This is going to be really interesting, and I hope there are no more lies from @RW_SRILANKA to cover his failures during his short tenure as President of #SriLanka. @mehdirhasan

Let’s unite for the greater good of the country, supporting positive change. But when things go wrong, we must question and hold accountable. It’s not about rushing to judgment, but speaking up at the right time for progress and fairness.

#SriLanka's new cabinet has no Muslim ministers, despite Muslims being the second-largest minority and the GovSL having Muslim MPs. While appointments may reflect qualifications, this raises concerns about fair representation. Ensuring inclusivity is crucial for national unity.
