Families of the Disappeared protest Sri Lankan president's visit to Vavuniya

Responding to a visit from Sri Lanka's president, Tamil Families of the Disappeared in Vavuniya staged a protest outside the Vavuniya District Secretariat office.

The protest comes as Sri Lanka's President Ranil Wickremesinghe was set to inaugurate the Northern Province Coordination Sub-Office.

Wickremesinghe has long been distrusted by the Families of the Disappeared, given his repeated statements that those who disappeared were "most probably dead". Despite continued calls to release a list of all detained by the military, the Sri Lankan government has failed to do so.
