The Divide

Eight years of continuous protests by the relatives of missing persons

How did TV channels cover it?

On February 20, the relatives of missing persons marked eight successive years of protests in Kilinochchi by organising a demonstration demanding justice for their loved ones. The demonstration was covered by only two privately-owned Tamil TV channels: Dan News and IBC Tamil. By contrast, none of the other privately-owned and state-owned Tamil and Sinhala channels covered the demonstration.
