by Kingsley Karunaratne

( February 26, 2015, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Asian Human Rights Commission and Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development, from year to year from 2010,expressed their shock and deep frustration over the long delay of investigation and seeking justice into abduction and murder of human Rights Defender, Pattani Razeek of Sri Lanka. He was remembered much due to his tremendous services rendered to the fellow citizens during the Tsunami debacle that hit Sri Lanka in 2004, especially in Trincomalee and Amparai areas. In 1990 when the Muslim people were evicted from Jaffna, Mannar and Mulltivu during the civil war, he was there to help these IDPs and made them resettled in Puttalam.
