Amnesty International Renewed its calls for humanitarian truce in Sri Lanka

Calls for a humanitarian truce between the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the Sri Lankan Armed Forces are growing as fighting intensifies and the number of casualties increases. On Thursday (26th March), Amnesty International reiterated its call for an immediate truce to allow aid to reach trapped civilians and ensure safe passage for all those that wish to leave.

"The deliberate firing on civilians by either side constitutes a war crime," said Sam Zarifi, Director of the Asia Pacific region at Amnesty International. "We cannot stress enough the importance of an immediate pause to allow the displaced to leave before thousands more are killed. The UN and international donors must put pressure on both parties to end this major humanitarian catastrophe."

Amnesty International urged the United Nations and international donors to put pressure on Sri Lanka to ensure unimpeded humanitarian access to camps for the displaced people in the region.

Amnesty International made the call as it released a new briefing detailing on the situation of internally displaced people in Sri Lanka.
