The situation in Jaffna at the moment is so tense. After getting the court order by police on banning the protest in A9 road, Jaffna bus stand to District secretariat, now the military personnel had approached the IDP camps to block camp dwellers to take part the meeting we, NAFSO planned to hold at Weerasingham hall, Jaffna town.
At the same time the bus drivers who came from Negombo were threatned to return back immediately from Jaffna unless they will be beaten up and harass.
We want to explain the people who attended the protest about this situation and explain how the oppression, harassments and difficulties the people face every day.
Some of our leaders who attended the protest wanted to reach the place as a march and a debate on whether to march or not.
"Whether we walk to the place we have the meeting or not will no difference to the life of the people here. The military and other oppressions for their decent life is under threat. We need to tell authorities we came here to help people to overcome them." Brito Fernando, Chair person, of disappeared familes explained.
