Cattle grazing lands plundered for racial reasons!
Dilakshala Thurairatnam of Batticaloa has lodged a complaint with the Human Rights Commission seeking the return of pastures for cattle.
She has made this complaint on behalf of an affected relative. Dilakshala, a resident of Sittandi, Irakkulama, has brought to the attention of the Human Rights Commission the human rights violations taking place in the Milattamadu, Madavanai area in Batticaloa.
Describing the incident through her complaint, she said,
‘The above area is reserved for the farms of those who run farms. But residents of other districts are still trying to cultivate the land. Although it has been confirmed that it will not enter the area by force after the case is filed in this regard, it will be forcibly re-entered the area, ”he said.
She also pointed out that this violation has been going on since 2009. She says that there are eyewitnesses to the incident and that the Irakkulama Pradeshiya Sabha member is such a witness.
Her complaint, dated March 15, 2022, further states that these human rights violations continue due to racial and administrative weaknesses.
Despite the court’s ruling that it should not use its power to commit any atrocity, such incidents continue to be condemned as a violation of a court order and a further crackdown on victims.
She therefore called on the Human Rights Commission to intervene immediately and ensure justice.
The plaintiff has pointed out in his complaint that the nation was responsible for this incident and that it should be treated as repression and use of force against a nation. Oppression and repression in the country targeting a nation is inevitably a violation of human rights. The Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) on behalf of the petitioner requests that a solution be found to the grassroots issue.
