GoSL Ministry conducts humiliating body searches in Jaffna
Many women in Jaffna have complained that they are put through humiliating body searches when they go to the EPDP office of Minister Douglas Devananda. Even senior government officials who were asked to report at his office have not been spared.
Some government officials have lodged complaints with the GA. In the complaints they have said that the Ministry’s security officials subjected them to an intrusive body search, which entailed security officers touching their entire body by putting their hands through their clothes. The body search was extremely degrading and humiliating they have said.
