Jaffna Muslims on a fast unto death [March 11 2011]

Muslims who have returned to their original places in Moor Street, Jaffna have launched a fast unto death campaign, claiming to provide them with essential facilities, according to sources.

The fasting was commenced on March 8, and the participants are determined to continue with their campaign until their demands are met.

Muslims in the North were forcibly evacuated by the LTTE, twenty years ago. Following the defeat of the LTTE Muslims from the North have shown keen interest in resettling back in their original places.
