Families of the disappeared in Vavuniya held a protest on Saturday outside the office of the Ilankai Thamil Arasu Katchi (ITAK) in Jaffna, demanding action over enforced disappearances.
Marking ten years since the end of the armed conflict when families handed over their now missing partners and children to Sri Lankan security forces, families condemned ITAK representatives for their failure to resolve the issue and accused them of not showing sufficient interest.
The ITAK is the largest constituent party of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA).
We need your support
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
