The Mannar Citizen's Committee said that a signature campaign calling for an international inquiry into mass atrocities committed against the Tamil people at the end of the armed conflict would take place in Mannar on Thursday, following on from a series of similar campaigns that have been held in Jaffna, Trincomalee and Kilinochchi so far.
The campaign in Mannar would be held in conjunction with the Provincial Association of Families of the Disappeared.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Rev Fr Emmanuel Sepamalai said that an international inquiry was needed as they had no hope of finding truth through an internal investigation.
Tens of thousands of signatures have been collected across the North-East to date by the campaign - organised by the Tamil Action Committee for International Accountability Mechanism (TACIAM).
However the Sri Lankan authorities have disrupted the campaign on several occasions in both Jaffna and Trincomalee.
Signatures are being collecting signatures ahead of the United Nation Human Rights Council session later this month, where a report into mass atrocities in Sri Lanka is to be discussed.
