Public lands should be released!
The lands of the people occupied by the army have not yet been liberated. Shanmugam Thavaseelan, a resident of Mankulam, has lodged a complaint with the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) alleging that this is a blatant violation of their human rights.
He is a resident of Mankulam, Panichchankulam area and has lodged a complaint against the Sri Lanka Army and the Commander of the Mullaitivu Security Forces Major General Sanjaya Wanasinghe.
At the end of the war in 2009, when the people were being resettled, the army seized their lands. He said in the complaint that the failure of the army to release their lands even after 12 years was a gross violation of the human rights of the people. He pointed out that human rights violations had taken place in 2009 and that it had taken place in Koppapulavu.
He has stated that there was no point in informing all parties in this regard. He further stated that a case has been filed in the Mullaitivu court in 2018 but the people have not yet received a solution and the Human Rights Commission should take immediate action to release the lands of the people.
