Tamil families of the disappeared, primarily from the North, gathered in front of the area between the Public Library and Duriappa Stadium by 2pm, on 15th Nov., as they thought the visiting British Prime Minister would land at the Duriappa Stadium. They were accompanied by some Christian clergy and activists from Colombo. The British authorities had been very reluctant to provide information about Mr. Cameron’s movements, including when I and friends of mine sought information in London. Later the families heard Mr. Cameron had landed in Palaly – the Air Force-run airport, located outside Jaffna city. So the families and their supporters walked towards the road leading from Palaly upto the Public Library.
