The Ashroff Nagar community members who were forcefully evicted and still living without any land giving back to them appeared at Sri Lanka Human Rights Commission yesterday.
The community members who spoke to media highlighted the injustices caused by the military.
"Supreme court gave the ruling to hand over the people's land back to us. Ashroff Nagar people. But, military did not respect the order at that time saying they need and respect only order from then secretary to the defense ministry. So did not listen tje Supreme Court order and we are still in displaced. We want justice to our people and we registered our demands."
Antony Jesudasan the coordinator PPD, told media, "this is the importance of having rule of law in the country. Even the Supreme court order does not respect what a rule of law we want. Citizens of SL changed the rulers with the promise of establish rule of law in the country which is not achieved yet"
We want new govt take these into serious account and change the military interventions go above the court added Jesudasa.
