United Nations urged to investigate mass grave

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.
