Families of the disappeared from across the North-East held a mass rally
in Kilinochchi today rejecting the prospect of Sri Lanka being given
more time to deliver on its co-sponsored UN Human Rights Council
resolution.

"UN! Do not give additional time to Sri Lanka for war crimes investigations," a large banner read.
Families have been protesting for months, calling on the international community to deliver justice.

The protest, which marks the opening day of the UNHRC's current session
in Geneva, was supported across the North East with religious leaders
and political figures joining the rally.
Hundreds of businesses across the North also held mass hartals in solidarity with the families of the disappeared.
