Say government must reclassify 'high security zone' so families can return to their homes
Tamil families displaced by the civil war have taken up shelter in the jungle near their former homes
Dozens of internally displaced Catholic Tamil families in Mannar, northern Sri Lanka have demanded they be allowed to return to their land after the Navy blocked resettlement to what is still labeled a high-security zone.
More than 140 people – who say they have lived in Mannar since 2007 after the designation of the military zone during Sri Lanka’s civil war – have been blocked from entering Mullikulam Village since Saturday.
