The UN Special Rapporteur on Internally Displaced Persons, Dr. Chaloka Beyani, visited Mullaitheevu on Wednesday, meeting with Tamils and the Deputy Speaker of the Northern Province, S. Jekanathan.
Pointing out that thousands of Tamil youth were handed over to the Sri Lankan army on the 17th, 18th and 19th May 2009, Mr. Jekanathan told Dr Beyani that they had not been seen since and meanwhile the Sri Lankan government was handing out death certificates to their families.
Yesterday Dr Beyani visited Jaffna where he met with the Northern Province's Chief Minister, who called for international action to stop colonisation of the North-East.
