ICG meets with families of disappeared in Mullaitivu

The International Crisis Group (ICG) Sri Lanka desk representative, Alan Keenan met with families of the disappeared in Mullaitivu today. 

The meeting follows the UN Human Rights Council's decision to extend the time granted to Sri Lanka to implement resolution 30/1 by another two years. 

The time extension was severely criticised by families of the disappeared, who had been calling for Sri Lanka to be referred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) as the only means of Tamils receiving justice for the genocide committed in 2009.

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
