Sri Lankan navy constructs permanent fences at Mullivaikkal camp

06 May 2016 The Sri Lankan navy is erecting permanent fences around its camp in Mullivaikkal, despite calls for the Sri Lankan military to release land it is occupying to its owners.  The camp, named the Gotabhaya Camp, was constructed on 671 acres of private land belonging to Tamils in Mullivaikkal East, that was illegally acquired by the navy shortly after the end of the armed conflict in 2009.  Local Tamils have continuously demanded for the land to be returned back to them.
