Protestors gathered for a fourth consecutive day in Trincomalee, rejecting the presidential commission probing disappearances.
The commission is currently sitting in the town on the eastern coast of the island, but has had very few people participate after the Tamil Civil Society Forum, who organised the protest, and the Welfare Organisation for the Forcibly Disappeared Persons said they would boycott the commission.

A person present at the protest said police manhandled some demonstrators in an attempt to move them on.
On Saturday and Sunday protestors gathered outside Kuchchaveli District Secretariat, before commencing the demonstration at the current location in Trincomalee town on Monday.

We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
