Demonstrations across North-East demand international justice for enforced disappearances
31 Aug 2016
In Mannar families of the disappeared held signs asking the UN to become
an equal partner in the transitional justice process to ensure justice
for victims of enforced disappearances and asking for international
justice. Victims held up pictures of their loved ones who had been
disappeared.
Demonstrations were also held in Vavuniya, Kilinochchi and Batticaloa
asking for “international justice for enforced disappearances.”
In Colombo, Northern Provincial Councillor Ananthy Sasitharan, whose
husband was disappeared at the end of the war, participated in an event
commemorating victims of enforced disappearances.
The Report of the OHCHR’s Investigation on Sri Lanka released
in September 2015 noted that Sri Lanka has one of the highest rates of
cases of enforced disappearances in the world. A report by the ICRC last month noted that over 16,000 reported cases of disappearances remain unresolved in Sri Lanka.
