Families of the disappeared call for justice in Mannar

04 February 2016

Tamil villagers in Mannar staged a demonstration calling for the Sri Lankan government to account for the massive number of people who have disappeared across the North-East.

Holding the protest alongside other demonstrations in the North-East, relatives of the disappeared said the Sri Lankan government must give them answers to account for their loved ones.

The protest took place as the government held a military parade in Colombo to mark Sri Lankan Independence Day.
