Six murders, two suicides in past two month in Jaffna due to military presence: Udul

07 Feb 2012 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

The ‘We are Sri Lankans' organisation yesterday charged that there had been six murders and two suicides in the Jaffna district in the past two months allegedly owing to the large military presence in the north which the organisation said should be removed immediately from the area.

The organisation which aims to promote national unity said despite continuous assurances from the government that the military would promote the quality of life and development in the north and other parts of the country, the organisation’s Convener Udul Premaratne said the military presence created further restrictions to the people living in the area.
