Tamils in Trincomalee call for return of disappeared persons

Tamil protestors in Trincomalee marked Sri Lankan Independence Day on Thursday, by staging a demonstration calling for the return of their loved ones who have disappeared.

The protests took place alongside others across the Tamil North-East, where families of the disappeared called for the government to be held accountable for the missing.

Protestors in Trincomalee included displaced people from Sampur, who demanded the release of their land, which continues to be occupied by the Sri Lankan military.
