Tamil protestors in Trincomalee marked Sri Lankan Independence Day on Thursday, by staging a demonstration calling for the return of their loved ones who have disappeared.
 |
The protests took place alongside others across the Tamil North-East, where families of the disappeared called for the government to be held accountable for the missing.
Protestors in Trincomalee included displaced people from Sampur, who demanded the release of their land, which continues to be occupied by the Sri Lankan military.

We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
