Ref : European Parliament and Human Rights

Action Against Hunger is calling on the United Nations to launch an independent investigation to finally bring those responsible for the murders of 17 aid workers in Sri Lanka in 2006 to justice.

On August 4 2006, Sri Lankan army stormed Action Against Hunger’s offices in Muttur, forced 17 staff members on to their knees and then executed each of them with a bullet to the back of the head. This is one of the most serious crimes ever committed against humanitarian workers.

Despite three national investigations in Sri Lanka since 2006, none of the perpetrators have been brought to justice. The investigations have been plagued with obstruction, interference of politics in the judiciary and a lack of transparency and independence.

More than Six years after the humanitarian organisation’s team were executed at their offices in the town of Muttur, investigations in Sri Lanka have been hindered and obstructed, with the perpetrators still not been held to account.

Therefore we urge the European Parliament to support independent investigation, so the United Nations can end the impunity in Sri Lanka.
