British retail giant Tesco has donated 7,000 school uniforms to Tamil children in Mullaiththivu, at an event organised by the Sri Lankan army.
The 68th division of the Security Force headquarters – Mullaiththivu coordinated the event in Puthukkudiyiruppu with officials from Tesco PLC and Hydramani Apparels, its production partner in Sri Lanka.
Major General Jagath Dias, who stands accused of mass atrocities committed during the final phase of the armed conflict in Sri Lanka, took part in the event as the chief guest.
Earlier this year Dias was refused a visa to Australia over the crimes he is suspected to have committed in 2009.
