Emergency Regulations: Security or Suppression?

Abstract

The entity contains writeups in all three languages and images of newspaper excerpts on the press coverage of emergency regulations imposed by the government. It also includes infographics in all three languages on the manner in which the Sinhala and Tamil press covered the issue.

Some sections of the Sinhala press stated that it was implemented to ensure security, and that it was implemented equally islandwide, whereas some sections of the Tamil press argued that it was used as a tool to suppress the Tamil people in the North.
