Keppapulavu protestors rally against surveillance on fifth day
05 Mar 2017
Tensions arose between Sri Lankan security forces and people protesting for land returns in
Keppapulavu on Sunday.
As
the Keppapulavu families continued their protest for the fifth day and
were joined by various supporters, they were subject to extreme
surveillance from a heavy presence of police and military personnel.
Demonstrators
gathered in front of a monumental armoured vehicle to protest the
ongoing intimidation and surveillance by the armed forces within the
protests themselves.
Arguments broke out as police and military personnel repeatedly ordered protestors to disperse.
Those that had travelled to Keppapulavu to support the ongoing protestors had their vehicle registration numbers recorded.
The Keppapulavu protestors are demanding their village of around 525 acres be released from military occupation.
