The Tamil National Alliance called for the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances (UN WGEID) to continue their involvement in Sri Lanka, in a meeting in Colombo on Monday.
TNA MP M.A. Sumanthiran met with the UN officials and “stressed on the concerns of the families of the disappeared and detainees,” said the party in an email sent to media outlets.
Mr Sumanthiran “pointed out the importance of the judicial mechanisms and the truth seeking mechanisms that must be set up in this regard, and he asked for the continued involvement of the working group in these processes,” said the TNA.
The meeting comes after the UN officials visited the site of a mass grave in Mannar earlier this week, during their visit of the island.
