Description
Tamil civilians of Kayts who were engaged in a protest had been threatened by Sri Lankan Navy
intelligence officers on the 25th of January. The protesters said that they had been residing in a small 3 acres portion of land surrounding a naval base. The base was built on their private lands and the Navy had been occupying it for 10 years, so they did a protest and demanded that their lands be released. It was a peaceful protest, but Navy intelligence personnel who had come without uniforms were reported to have threatened protesters to stop the protest, the protesters claim.
