The Sri Lankan army continues its surveillance and interference in released land, local sources report.
 |
A barricade, with at least one soldier keeping surveillance, went up in Kankesanthurai the day after the use of another army check-point was discontinued.
63 acres of land were released in Kankesanthurai, and the announcement that the army checkpoint would be removed was welcomed by locals.
Residents and returning land-owners expressed their concern that the army would continue their surveillance and intimidation of people in the area.

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
