03 Aug 2017
The Sri Lankan government is attempting to move the cases of Tamil
political prisoners to Sinhalese districts, the prisoners’ families have
complained to the Northern Province Chief Minister.
In a meeting on Wednesday, family members of a number of political
prisoners urged Chief Minister Wigneswaran to pressure the government to
keep their relatives’ cases in Tamil courts and secure their release.
During the discussion, which was led by NPC member V. Sivayogan,
families of political prisoners said they had been told by the prisoners
themselves that attempts were underway to transfer their cases, which
are currently under the Vavuniya High Court, back to the South.
