Investigate Tamil journalist murders and abductions - NPC resolution

The Northern Provincial Council has called for the Sri Lankan government to open immediate investigations into the murder and assaulting of journalists across the North-East.
In a resolution passed on Thursday, the Council called upon Sri Lanka's Minister of Justice, Minister of Law and Order and the Attorney General to launch immediate inquiries into the murders of Tamil journalists in the North-East, as well as violent attacks against others.
The resolution pointed out that while it was to be welcomed that the Sri Lankan government had vowed to investigate the assassination of certain journalists in the south, the significant number of murdered journalists from the North-East, as well as journalists and media organisations that had been abducted, attacked and vandalised, was going largely ignored.
