A Marred Victory and a Defeat Pregnant with Foreboding: UTHR (J) Special Report

University Teachers for Human Rights (Jaffna)
Sri Lanka, UTHR(J)

Special Report No. 32
Date of Release: 10th June 2009


"For the nearly 300 000 people held in internment like camps, the end of the war has not brought about the respite they deserve. They continue to suffer in squalid conditions of camps made not to last more than a few weeks. Living conditions including families packed into tents and the deteriorating hygienic conditions from the lack of proper sewage to garbage disposal are leading to further disease and suffering. These displaced peoples who had suffered much under the LTTE do not deserve to be held in these conditions. The Government in restricting people the choice of movement out of the camps is responsible for their suffering."
