Hunting the Tigers

1665 Comments


This week Amos Roberts reports from Sri Lanka, where the feared Tamil Tigers are  surrounded in small pocket of the country and the government is moving  in for the kill.

The 25 year old war against the Tigers has seen thousands killed and now an estimated 150,000 civilians are trapped in the middle of this brutal conflict.

As Roberts reports, no independent journalists are allowed  near the war zone  and those who dare criticise the government  or the military are either detained or murdered by shadowy forces.
