“We request you to
liberate our surrendered and disappeared relatives from the state of Sri Lanka
through international pressure.” Relatives of the Surrendered and Disappeared
Persons said. Issuing a press statement they further said ”Our complaints to
the government officials, politicians and NGOs have been futile. We went to the
crime division of Vavuniya on 14th May 2012 as per the announcement made by the
Ministry of Defense, Sri Lanka, on 13th May 2012. But we were disappointed that
we could not find any details about them. We became subject to their
intimidation.”
