Tamilnet banned?
- How to continue to access the site from Sri Lanka

'..States that want to oppress a people do so by breaking their political will to resist injustice... It is easier to enslave a people who have lost their ability to understand the nature of their oppression..'  D. Sivaram, Founding Editor of Tamilnet, memorial speech for  Slain Batticaloa journalist Aiyathurai Nadesan, 7 August 2004

Reports received by Groundviews indicate that Tamilnet is inaccessible from many major Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Sri Lanka. At the time of writing, the site is confirmed to be inaccessible from:

SLT (ADSL and dial-up)
Lankacom (leased line)
Lankabell (dial-up)
Suntel (dial-up)

Only Tamilnet seems to be affected. There is a workaround.
