Amnesty International meets with LTTE political team in Geneva
LTTE Political team led by Mr.S.P.Tamilselvan met with Ms. Ingrid Massage of the Amnesty International in Geneva today 21 March 2005.
 Referring to her earlier visit to Kilinochchi, Ms. Ingrid Massage Expressed keen interest to assess the situation in the post-tsunami scenario. Mr.Tamilselvan briefed her on the conditions prevailing in the tsunami affected NorthEast coast, especially the denial of access to homes of people displaced from the Jaffna peninsula due to war. “Had these people been allowed to resettle in their villages in accordance with the provisions of the Cease Fire Agreement CFA), many deaths could have been avoided, for they were compelled to live in temporary shelters along the sea coast due to the High Security Zone (HSZ) constraints in their own villages that are occupied by the military, to make a living and thus became victims of tsunami” said Mr.Tamilselvan.
