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

Palestine Action Group to be Banned by UK Government: A Dangerous Precedent
Activists Without Borders stands in unwavering solidarity with direct action group @Pal_action which the UK government has announced its intention to proscribe as a ‘terrorist organisation’. (1/2)
Only #Palestine 🇵🇸 #NoOtherLand 🎥
🎥 Huge Congratulations to #NoOtherLand! 🇵🇸 for winning Best Documentary Feature at the #AcademyAwards!
A powerful testament to how cinema amplifies urgent issues beyond borders.
🎥 Congrats to the filmmakers and @Dogwoof for bringing this #Palestine masterpiece to the world.
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
What a productive and rewarding long weekend in #Geneva! Heading home with a wealth of knowledge and valuable connections. Thank you, @amjadmsaleem, for showcasing the incredible work done by @ifrc.

Discussion on The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Sri Lanka

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.
