Description

The wife of a forcibly disappeared Tamil man is reported to have appealed for protection after
alleged threats by persons claiming to be Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers who entered her house on the 8th of February. When neighbors, including a church priest, arrived at the scene, the intruders allegedly said they were there to search the house for drugs. However, when
the neighbors informed the police, the intruders left the premises. In response, the woman is reported to have filed a complaint with the Sri Lankan Human Rights Commission in Mannar, saying
that while her husband’s case was continuing, she feared for her life and for the lives of her children.
