North–East Social Movement Joins in Solidarity with the Hunger Strike Organized by the Association of Families of the Enforced Disappeared
28 September 2025
On 28 September 2025, the North–East Social Movement joined in solidarity with the ongoing rotating hunger strike organized by the Association of Families of the Enforced Disappeared near the Chemmani mass grave site in Jaffna, which has been taking place since 25 September 2025.
The protest was organized to reinforce the Association's call for international accountability. According to the Association of Families of the Enforced Disappeared, they reject a domestic accountability mechanism in Sri Lanka and instead call for an independent international investigation into allegations relating to the destruction of the Tamil people, enforced disappearances, war crimes, and mass graves.
In support of these demands, members of the North–East Social Movement participated in the day's activities and joined the symbolic hunger strike as an expression of solidarity with the families of the enforced disappeared and their continuing pursuit of truth, justice, and accountability.
The event reaffirmed the Movement's commitment to supporting peaceful, rights-based advocacy and standing alongside families seeking answers regarding the fate and whereabouts of their missing loved ones.
