Families of those missing marched in Mullaitivu on Thursday, protesting against the enforced disappearances of their loved ones and demanding action.
Mothers held photographs of their missing children and handed over a petition calling for action to the local Northern Provincial Council member, Ravikaran, in order for him to hand it over to the leader of the NPC, C V Wigneswaran and the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) leader, R Sampanthan.
This protest was the latest in the series of protest held by families demanding to know where their loved ones are. Many were tearful as they told reporters of the moment they last saw their family members.

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
