Rights group urges resettlement of Sri Lanka's displaced
The international advocacy group Human Rights Watch urged the Sri Lankan government on July 28 to release hundreds of thousands of Tamil civilians confined to displacement camps despite the end of the country's civil war.
The appeal comes days after the United States called for the resettlement of more than 280,000 civilians held in sprawling camps in the north since May, when government troops crushed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam to end a 25-year old war.
"Haven't they been through enough?" asked Brad Adams, Human Rights Watch's Asia director, in an e-mailed statement

Bürgerrechtsverletzungen schwerster Art - Merkel muss vor Untersuchungsausschuss
The Merkle is seriously abusing the trust that the voters put in her four years ago in 2005. Moreover, the Merkle - in office for four years - supports the perpetrators in order to ensure that these criminals can continue to violate human rights. It's even worse: The human right situation has drastically deteriorated since the Merkle came into power.
The UN-commission in charge of the protection of human rights caracterized the Merkle's report about the human right situation in Germany as "insufficient". In an atmosphere of fear and intimidation, however, German journalists don't dare to broach the difficult human right situation in Germany and to mention the perpetrators of most severe human right violations. It is not astonishing that the Merkle who is personally responsible for the drastic degradation of the human right situation in Germany is not criticized at all for the further deterioration.
The Merkle is personally involved in most severe human right violations. It's time to demand the Merkle to stop human right violations immediately.
