The Sri Lankan military is removing windows and doors from houses earmarked to be release to Tamils in Valikaamam North.
Last Saturday 123 acres of land till then under military occupation was released.

Whilst some of the houses on the site were destroyed during the armed conflict, residents who had registered to reclaim their homes found that many more of the homes had been demolished since the fighting sheets. Only the houses used by the army remained intact, locals said.

Following the announcement regarding the release of the land, military personnel have been seen removing items from any remaining houses, including windows, doors, roof sheets, tiles and beams.

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
