Telecoms company ordered to disclose call records of disappeared protesters

Jaffna Magistrates Court last week ordered the telecommunication company, Dialog to hand over the call records of two men who were abducted in 2011 after organising a protest in Jaffna against disappearances.

Relatives of the two disappeared men, Lalithkumar Weeraraj and Kugan Muruganathan, filed a Habeus Corpus petition in 2012 at Colombo's Court of Appeal. 

A number of witnesses have submitted evidence to date, including the JVP MP, Ajith Kumara, Kuhan Murugananthan's wife, Lalithkumar Weeraraj's father, and the former minister Keheliya Rambukwella.
