The United Nations Working Group on Enforced Disappearances has been urged to conduct a thorough inquiry into the recently unearthed mass grave in Matale.
The Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC), an independent regional non-governmental organisation, suggested in a written statement, that the United Nations working group should conduct an independent inquiry into the remains of 200 or more persons found in Matale.
Expressing concern that the grave may be neglected, the organisation went on to suggest that the international community should provide the Sri Lankan government with the expertise, equipment and necessary resources that it lacked to conduct proper investigations.

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
