The Sri Lankan Army has escorted a group of Internally Displaced Persons back to their villages in Sampur, located in the Eastern Province, for a ‘visit’, according to reports.
138 families from the Navarathnapuram village were allowed to revisit their homes located in High Security Zones, as they were accompanied by the Army’s 224 brigade.
The area was captured by the Sri Lankan government in September 2006, with 5 villages still remaining under Army control in the High Security Zone.
