Description

Posters have been pasted in Batticaloa Town against Amalanayagi, the coordinator of the
Association of Relatives of the Enforced Disappeared- Batticaloa District, who led the protest
remembering the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances on 30th August,
in Batticaloa town. These posters pasted by unidentified persons said “come and join the rally
to get dollars”, trivialising her activism as something done to gain financial benefits from the
foreign countries, feeding to Sinhala nationalist discourse also supported by the state.
