Families of the disappeared from across the North-East held a mass rally in Kilinochchi today rejecting the prospect of Sri Lanka being given more time to deliver on its co-sponsored UN Human Rights Council resolution.
"UN! Do not give additional time to Sri Lanka for war crimes investigations," a large banner read.
Families have been protesting for months, calling on the international community to deliver justice.
