Thunnalai residents file complaint against security force round-up operations to human rights commission
10 Aug 2017
Thunnalai residents have filed a complaint against STF and police
round-up operations, that resulted in 24 arrests in the area, to the
Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka.
Thunnalai locals, including mothers of some arrested youths, filed a
complaint at the HRCSL regional office in Jaffna on Wednesday.
The residents have said that the search and round-up operations which
lasted three days were carried out inhumanely and led to wrongful
arrests.
The 24 young Tamil men arrested in Thunnalai and neighbouring villages
were charged with violent infractions related to protests following the
killing of a local man by Sri Lankan police.
However the complaint claims that many of the youths arrested were not
in the area during the incident or had no connection to the protests and
violence.
