TamilNet is a news website that provides news and feature articles on current affairs in Sri Lanka, specifically related to the ongoing Sri Lankan Civil War. The website was formed by members of the Sri Lankan Tamil community residing in the United States and publishes articles in English and German.
Its reporting is widely considered to be biased towards the militant Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) organization, and although it is not officially affiliated with the rebel group, it is regarded as a propaganda instrument of the LTTE.
According to ARTICLE 19, a human rights organization, it is a popular news site that is relied upon as a credible source of news, by journalists, civil society and the diplomatic community both within Sri Lanka and globally and also to seek out the LTTE leadership’s perspective on the civil conflict. Tamilnet and non-governmental organizations such as Free Media Movement (FMM), Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and ARTICLE 19 confirm that the website is currently banned in Sri Lanka.
