Journalists for Democracy in Sri Lanka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Journalists for Democracy in Sri Lanka (JDS) is a group of journalists, human rights workers and other activists exiled from Sri Lanka based in Germany. [1][2][3][4] It has reports on human rights and press freedom violations in Sri Lanka and provided videos of war crimes in Sri Lanka.[5] When the United Nations Human Rights Council investigated war crimes in Sri Lanka in 2013, the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation began censoring Tamil-language BBC broadcasts. JDS spoke out assertively against the government's move.[6]
