PTA needs to be repealed - TNA leader tells EU official
23Jan 2018
The leader of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) R Sampanthan on Tuesday
stressed the need for the Prevention of Terrorism Act to be repealed in a
meeting with a representative of the EU to Sri Lanka.
Mr Sampanthan stressed that the repeal of the PTA was a commitment made
by the Sri Lankan government to the international community, and
specifically the EU, however the government had failed to deliver on it.
He also called for those those detained indefinitely under the PTA to
have their cases processed.
Highlighting the military's ongoing occupation of private land in the
North-East, Mr Sampanthan also drew attention to the plight of Tamils
who remain displaced over 8 years after the end of the armed conflict.
Mr Sampanthan also told the visiting EU official of the anguish of
families who continue to demonstrate seeking answers regarding the
whereabouts of their loved ones who were disappeared.
