15 October 2014
The British Deputy High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, Laura Davies, said "very little has changed" for Tamils living in the Sabhapathipillai refugee camp over the past year.
Visiting Jaffna on Wednesday, the Davies met with the Chief Minister of the Northern Province, C. V. Wigneswaran, local government officials, civil society activists as well as displaced persons.
"Very little has changed for the community in the Sabhapathipillai camp in the year since PM Cameron's visit," she tweeted.
The British Prime Minister David Cameron visited Jaffna in November last year, where he visited IDP camps and spoke to residents, many of whom have been displaced for over 20 years.
Last month, Davies wrote of her experience of being followed during a visit to the East.
“[It] gradually became impossible to ignore the fact that I was being watched,” she wrote on the Foreign Office blog page. See here for more.
