🚨Ravikaran raises concerns over Tamil bodies buried in Sri Lankan military camps
Vanni District Parliamentarian Thurairasa Ravikaran has raised concerns that Tamil people may have been killed and buried inside Sri Lankan military camps in the Northern and Eastern provinces.
Ravikaran made the remarks while addressing a large protest rally held in Chemmani on August 17 as part of the “Voice of Justice ” campaign, which called for international justice for the massacres of Eelam Tamils.
The protest came as the OMP marked the international day with an event presented as part of Sri Lanka’s efforts to address cases of enforced disappearance through domestic mechanisms. For the families campaigning across the North and East, however, the continued absence of answers regarding their missing relatives remains the central issue.
