The
land campaigners addressed the land issues of the affected communities in the
North. One of the important matters of the campaign was to draw the attention
both national and international communities over the burning land issues in the
north. GOSL is able to resolve the land issues, if the government genuinely
concerns over the settlement of land issues of the communities as agreed at the
UNHRC resolution of 30/1. So, we expect to animate the communities, mobilize
the wider society and highlight the demands to get their land back.
NAFSO/PARL/PA and many other organizations would facilitate the process while
communities themselves would take the leadership in
The People’s land rights campaign. NAFSO
partner organizations would take the leadership with the district PARL units
set up in each district.
People's Caravan started on 26th Feb 2019 from Kepapilavu and
moved towards the Mullaithivu District Secretariat domain. People demanded to
release their land which was occupied by the military. The campaigners will move to Mannar on 28 and they will organize
the campaign Vawniya on 1st of march. National campaign will be
organized in Colombo on 2nd of March gathering all strength
together.
